Flowers are one of the most popular gifts across the globe – and the possibilities are endless.
So, how do you choose which flowers to send on a particular occasion or to a certain loved one?
Well, it all comes down to the secret meaning behind every flower. To take the guesswork out of choosing the right flowers, we’ve created a guide to flower meanings, to help you decide which flowers to send to who – and when to send them.
What do your flowers really mean?
Although flowers are the go-to gift to show a loved one your care, each variety has its special meaning that sets it apart.
Flower symbolism goes back thousands of years, and different cultures and religious groups have used flowers to express feelings and emotions. For example:
Red roses represent love, passion, and romance.
Flowers such as sunflowers, daisies, and chrysanthemums represent innocence, purity, and joy.
Orchids represent beauty, grace, and wealth.
The lily, although a symbol of death in some cultures, represents purity, beauty, and resurrection.
Romantic anniversaries
Flowers carry romance wherever they go. That’s why the right flowers can say everything in a single moment – especially if you’re feeling tongue-tied around the love of your life.
At TouchNote, we believe in the power of classics. And what tells a person you love them more clearly than a bouquet of red roses?
Red roses are one of the oldest and most recognized flowers in the world. Red roses symbolize romance, beauty, and sensuality.
Even back in medieval times, roses were given as tokens of affection, which has led to a bouquet of red roses becoming the traditional expression of love. Why not send your loved one our breathtaking Lovely Day Bouquet to let them know how special they are to you?
