The Meaning of Flowers: What Does That Bouquet Say?

Filed under: Decor, Green

We use flowers to say so many things, from "I love you" to "I'm sorry" and everything in between. Humans have been using flowers to express and punctuate feelings since the dawn of time and so over the eons certain flowers have come to symbolize certain things. The meanings of flowers can vary based on culture, context, and occasion but here are some popular blooms and their most commonly associated messages.

Roses
The Romans and Greeks both associated roses with goddesses of love (Aphrodite and Venus) and although roses today are most often used to express romance and passion they can have other meanings as well.

Red -- Love, Passion

Yellow -- Friendship, Jealousy

White -- Humility, Innocence, Purity

Pink -- Gratitude, Admiration, Happiness

Dark Crimson -- Mourning

Spring and summer are my favorite seasons because, among other reasons, I just love cut flowers so much. It's still a little early for anything homegrown, but I'm starting to get really inspired and excited -- and it's almost as much fun coming inside and finding the perfect vase for a bouquet as it is to pick out the flowers themselves.

I can totally picture a big gorgeous bunch of daisies (I love simple flowers) in this subtly sparkling and handcrafted Crushed Glass Vase in amethyst. 16" high and 6 1/2" wide at top. $66.95.
