The Meaning of Mother's Day Flower Colors

You can purchase Mother's Day Flowers in almost every color and shade imaginable, from the deepest red roses to pale white and purple orchids. Most people have a favorite color but not every flower color has the same meaning. Many are familiar with the fact that to send a red rose is a romantic gesture and that pink roses and carnations are traditional flowers for Mothering Sunday.  There are so many different colors of flower, what is the best to send and why?

Green flowers represent nature and a sense of renewal of health of energy. As a base color, they make a good addition to any floral arrangement but on their own look too dull and boring.

\"Flower Meaning\"

Pink is a good choice for Mother's Day. It's a very feminine, subtle and homely color. If buying roses for Mother's Day, pink is often the favored color. Camellias also brighten any bouquet by adding a touch of elegance. Pink conveys joy, innocence, youthfulness and grace.

The Meaning of Mother's Day Flower Colors

White is often chosen as a flower color. The color white is also associated with wedding bouquets because it represents innocence and purity. Like the color green, white flowers mix well with any other color and they can provide either a good base flower in a floral arrangement or the primary flower tone balancing others colors in the same display.

Yellow represents joy and happiness. The color yellow can often signal danger in the animal kingdom or 'food here' to the insects. It is a very exotic color.

Lavender like white represents femininity and elegance. This is partially because Lavender was the choice of flower that the wealthy used to scent themselves prior to the advent of modern-day plumbing and regular showers.

Blue is considered a soothing color with its calming floral tones. Like the color white, blue flowers also represent purity. Don't place blue and red colored flowers together unless they are both deep and striking shades.

Purple flowers are associated with royalty and the wealthy. In days gone by, purple flowers were always reserved by florists strictly for their wealthier customers. The giving of purple flowers conveys the feelings of importance and wealth.

Red flowers are heavily associated with passion and love. Although red flowers, usually in the form of roses, are commonly exchanged between intimate partners, it doesn't mean that they aren't appropriate for a Mom. Just look beyond their association and see red roses for what they really are, beautiful flowers.

Whatever color of flower you choose to give your Mom on Mother's Day, I am sure she will appreciate them. Just spare some thought to the color and type of flower and watch the smile on her face as she receives them.

Wedding Colors for 2012

Wedding colors change with the season, and with fashion trends. What's in one year can be out the next, and even if you're looking for a timeless theme for your wedding (and you probably should) you'll find that the years fashion trends govern the choices available, unless, of course, you have the budget for custom everything.

Each year the fashion planners publish a collection of wedding 'palettes', each one designed to be appropriate in every season and adaptable to all budgets. These are then sent to everyone in the wedding industry, you'll see them wherever you look, from glossy magazines to florists windows. Going with the fashion, rather than against it will usually make your wedding less expensive, but will it mean you end up with a 'cookie cutter' wedding, just the same as the girl next door's? We think not.

Tulips

Fashion needs to be considered, rather than followed slavishly, and there is plenty of room within 2012's wedding trends to find something that is both in fashion and uniquely you. Your photographs will be on display for many years, as a result brides often choose timeless designs for their dress, and follow fashion in the colors and designs of their flowers.

Spring Wedding Colors for 2012

One of the most striking of this years color palettes is 'Vineyard',a mixture of olive green, blue, lilac and purple. Perfect for spring, 'vineyard' style flowers are extremely romantic and highly fragrant, imagine a bouquets of lilacs in their own spring green foliage, or blue and lilac hyacinths with bear grass and pepper berries. Delicate lilac freesias will also provide the right color and scent, or choose a simple bouquet of white lilac, green foliage and trim with purple ribbon. Bridesmaids in lilac dresses with green sashes could complete the picture.

Wedding Colors for Summer 2012

If you're planning a high summer wedding, the most stunning of this years color palettes is Midnight Sun; a rich mixture of sunshine and shadow in the form of yellow, gold and black. The perfect flower has to be the sunflower, but if you prefer something smaller, yellow gerbera daisies would provide a very modern look, while trailing yellow oncidium orchids add an exotic, opulent feel to any bouquet. Other excellent color choices include billy balls, yellow iris, or for the classic bride, yellow scented roses. Most florists roses have little scent, but you can still buy the 'old fashioned' kind, with their stunning natural perfume, from David Austen Roses.

2012 Fall Wedding Colors

The perfect palette for autumn/fall has to contain red and orange, but there's no reason to stop there. 'Escape' is the ideal 2012 palette for this season, orange, brick red and turquoise with neutral accents. Like many fall themes this is ideal for the extrovert, deliciously colored dinner plate dahlias can be found in the perfect color combination, or if you plan a destination wedding, tropicals like orchids. Exuberant parrot tulips, dark red freesias and roses would be also be an excellent choice.

Winter Color Trends for 2012

For the winter bride, 'Neo Pop' is a color palette with a difference. Explore midnight blue, indigo and violet and add orange and brick accents. Deep blue velvet dresses with bouquets of wild parrot tulips and orange gloriosa lilies will pay tribute to the season or why not create a something truly original, white dresses for bride and bridesmaid teamed with bouquets of all shades, brilliant blue cornflowers, brick colored roses and violet orchids would be simply stunning.
