When buying any flowers online or from a high street flower store it is often the colours of the blooms which can first attract a customer or purchaser. Flowers often have a vivid range of colours and they can be extremely attractive and full of character. What many customers do not realise however, is that the colours of flowers often have a meaning and the choice of colour for bouquets and floral displays can often reflect the feelings of the buyer or the personality of the receiver.

For instance, one of the most commonly known colour meanings is red. Many people buy red roses to convey love and passion, especially on Valentine’s Day. There is however a range of other colour meanings in flowers and these can convey a message just as strongly as the red of romance.

For those who wish to enhance their own peace of mind and tranquillity, blue flowers can be appropriate. Flowers such as iris, violets and verbena all are available in stunning shades of blues. Yellow flowers are renowned for lifting the spirits and for creating an atmosphere of delight and joyfulness. Since yellow flowers reflect the colour of sunshine, they are often used to cheer up gloomy rooms and offices. Flowers such as daffodils and sunflowers can help create an ambience of cheerfulness and sunlight.

Unsurprisingly, white flowers are used to symbolise purity and innocence. With a clean, unadulterated white colour, these types of flowers are often used for weddings, funerals and births. White flowers can include lilies, baby’s breath and stargazer lilies.

At Eflorists we understand the meaning of the colour of flower. With a range of flowers organised in colours such as ‘vibrant’, ‘hot’, ‘pure’ and ‘soft’ we can help any customer convey their sentiments using the message of floral shades.
