When choosing a bouquet, you often go by what you like. But did you know that in the language of emotion, the color of a flower is often more important than the species itself? The same flower in red might mean "I love you," while in yellow it says "You're a great friend."
We've put together a guide to the world of colors, so you always send the right message.
Choose a Bouquet by Color (In Stock)
Looking for passion, joy, or tenderness?
Tip From Florist Bára (Mixing Colors):
"Customers often ask about the color yellow, because there used to be a saying that it meant falsehood. But that's an old myth! In modern floristry, yellow is the color of the sun, energy, and joy. My tip? If you want to express several emotions at once, have a colorful mixed bouquet tied for you. It means 'Joy of life' and suits practically any occasion."
