It’s one thing to say the right words for the occasion, but it’s another to show you mean it — especially with the rich symbolism of flower colors! Of course, we’re on point with celebrating Mom on Mother’s Day and giving Dad his props on Father’s Day. And when Grandparent’s Day rolls around, those amazing elders also get a burst of color. Oh, and remembering to brighten the day for siblings and your chosen family is a must — not to mention giving a little something for your adorable pets! At Rose Hill Florist in Nashville, Tennessee, we’re experts at using colors to make those special connections with stunning floral selections.
Pink Petals for Moms & Grandmoms
We adore pink, especially in flowers — it’s such a timeless shade! Whether you’re saying a sincere “Thank you” or want to shout “I love you” to your dear mothers and grandmothers, pink gets it right, full stop. Carnations are a fabulous pick, representing the unlimited love a mom has for her kiddos. Or you can go for classics like pink roses, which express deep admiration and sincere appreciation. Sophisticated peonies are also awesome presents, promising good fortune to those who are lucky enough to receive them.
Purple Blooms for Dads & Granddads
When we think of our fantastic father figures and grandfathers, what words do we think of? Regal and dignified, definitely! Purple flowers fit the bill perfectly, then — they project majesty and royalty. Irises symbolize courage and wisdom, making them a great choice to honor him. Or, consider lilacs, those timeless flowers with one of the best fragrances out there. If you’re leaning towards a tropical vibe, orchids are a noble choice and are sure to hit all the high notes.
Green & Blue Flowers for Brothers & Honorary Bros
One of the coolest things about flowers is their ability to create a serene mood on the spot, especially green and blue blooms. They’re also ambassadors of loyalty and dependability, just like our brothers (honorary totally counts). Give back to your bros with blue hydrangeas for a really relaxed vibe, complemented by the rugged touch of blue thistle. Complete the bouquet with green chrysanthemums to celebrate their trustworthiness and your friendship.
Peach Stems for Sisters & Honorary Sis
IYKYK: Having a sis or BFFs who are like sisters is a unique bond that’s worthy of treasuring and nurturing. Show your favorite sister that she’s fantastic with peach-colored blooms — they’re all the rage now and are guaranteed to make her day warm and happy. Fresh tulips are the way to go if she loves timeless flowers, as they’re super classic. To honor your friendship, alstroemeria is a great pick, as are the many petals of ranunculus, which we adore.
Orange & White Flowers for Your Furry Fam
Our pets are pure sources of joy — they’re adorable and loyal and have our hearts completely. Show them some love with a fresh arrangement of white and orange blooms, ambassadors of purity, excitement, innocence, and happiness. Be sure, of course, to pick pet-safe blooms for your buddy! We think white snapdragons are ideal — they have a unique form and add height. They look awesome with orange gerbera daisies, which are super bold blooms. It’s legit an excellent way to thank your pup or kitty for all the joy they bring.
Flowers can say what words sometimes can’t, straight up. With these color tips from Rose Hill Florist, you can send your family the perfect floral message, ensuring each bouquet is a perf expression of your feelings.
