When you order flowers, choosing the colour matters far more than it seems. Each tone sends a different message — and not always the one you think. This quick guide helps you choose well before you confirm your order.
Red: for when you want to be clear
Red leaves no room for doubt. It’s the colour of romantic love, passion and «I am completely in love with you». If you want the person receiving the flowers to understand it without you having to say it, red works.
Perfect for: Valentine’s Day, couple anniversaries, declarations of love, or simply reminding your person how you feel.
Watch out: Between friends or work colleagues it can feel too intense. If the message isn’t romantic, choose a different colour.
Pink: for everyday affection
Pink is the colour of sincere fondness without needing to be romantic. It’s warmth, gratitude and «I’m glad to have you». It works just as well for your mother, your best friend or your partner.
- Light or pastel pink: tenderness, delicacy, gentle love.
- Bright pink or fuchsia: joy, gratitude, celebration.
Perfect for: Mother’s Day, thank you, birthdays, «I love you» without the romantic weight.
Yellow: to celebrate and brighten someone’s day
Yellow is pure energy. Sunflowers, yellow roses, gerberas — these flowers catch the eye and lift a space instantly. They’re perfect when you want to convey joy with no romantic undertone.
Perfect for: friends’ birthdays, «keep going», openings, events, or simply brightening someone’s day.
Orange: when you want something more original
Orange has the warmth of red without the romantic intensity. It’s enthusiasm, it’s «you make my life better», it’s originality. An orange bouquet stands out precisely because it’s unexpected.
Perfect for: a first date (fresher than red), creative personalities, gifts you want to be remembered.
White: for the most important moments
White has something special: it is at once the simplest and the most elegant. At a wedding it means purity and new beginnings. In a moment of loss it conveys respect and solidarity. As a gift it says «you are special» without needing anything else.
Perfect for: weddings, condolences, gifts for people with classic or minimalist taste.
Lilac and violet: for someone you want to feel truly unique
Lilac and violet flowers are the least common, which is precisely why they say something red or pink cannot: «I see you as someone unique». These are flowers for people with personality, for gifts that want to break with convention.
Perfect for: creative or artistic people, when you want to stand out from the usual flower gifts.
What if I mix colours?
Mixed bouquets are the most free and versatile option. They let the message be more «I love celebrating you» without going into specific symbolism — perfect for birthdays, thank yous, or any occasion that calls for cheerful flowers.
If you’re not sure about the combination, tell us the occasion and we’ll propose the mix. It’s part of our work — and we love doing it.
💡 If you’re torn between two colours, write to us. Often a single sentence describing the person or occasion is enough for us to know exactly which bouquet will suit them perfectly.
