flower color meanings red rosesRed -   Red flowers symbolize romantic love. Not just that — red roses are about passion, desire, and even eroticism.


Dark Red – A deeper red flower symbolizes a deeper kind of love. These are the flowers you send to your wife of 20 years. Dark red flowers convey a message of strong true love. They also symbolize beauty and perfection .
Black – Who would send black flowers on Valentine’s Day? This color typically signifies a loss or a goodbye, so gift guides often tell you to save black flowers for breakups — but who sends flowers to someone they’re dumping?! Black flowers don’t have to mean good riddance — they also symbolize elegance, power, and mystery. Does your darling have a dark side? Maybe he or she would appreciate a unique bouquet of black flowers on what they might otherwise feel is an over-the-top, sickeningly sweet holiday. With black flowers, you’re telling the recipient that you appreciate their unique personality.

flower color meanings white orchidsWhite - The first association with anything white — dresses, flowers, diamonds, snow — is purity. In flowers, white also symbolizes family, so they’re a good color to send a family member or close friend. Combine them with red and you’ve got a bouquet symbolizing a loving bond. This Valentine’s Day, is marriage on your mind?

Yellow – Yellow is the color of friendship, so these are not the flowers to send to your boyfriend or girlfriend. A yellow flower symbolizes joy and happiness, so you might send these to a good friend as a “thinking of you” gift, or you could send them as congratulations — chances are, you know someone who got engaged this Valentine’s Day. When you combine yellow roses with red roses, you’re celebrating the beginning of a new relationship. This could be how you start to say “I’m falling in love with you.” 

Green - You know what they say about green m&m’s, don’t you? It fits, then, that green flowers are the color of fertility. Whether you want to start trying to expand your family, or you’ve been waiting to share big news with someone, green flowers are a good icebreaker.

flower color meanings pink bouquetPink - Girls, don’t send pink flowers to your boyfriend — this is just emasculating. But pink is a great color to send a lady! Pink flowers signify femininity, sweetness, and charm. A pink flower says “You’re a doll!” Put pink and white roses together and the bouquet will scream “wedding!” even though neither color on its own is traditionally a romantic flower.

Peach - Soft oranges and pinks are warm colors, so peach flowers say to someone “I’m so comfortable with you.” They signify appreciation, and sometimes gratitude. It’s a way of telling someone their kindness does not go unnoticed.

Orange - This strong color symbolizes fascination, and maybe a hint of mischief. Orange roses are the perfect gift from a secret admirer, but be prepared to reveal yourself soon. Having a secret admirer is fun for a while, but then it drives a person crazy! Maybe your orange flowers could be the start of a new relationship…


flower color meaning purple bouquetLavender - Purple is the color of nobility, so when you send your lover purple flowers, you are showing them that you put them on a pedestal. This unique color is also a symbol of trust — always an important component of any loving relationship.

Blue - Blue flowers are all about peace. We all want passion in a relationship, but calm is important, too. Blue skies, blue ocean, blue flowers — they all mean tranquility. Blue flowers can tell someone you trust them, you love them, and you want to be like this forever. Not necessarily a color associated with romance, but a romantic message indeed.

A Floral Studio arrangement requires no additional special care on your part. All of our flowers are specially conditioned to last longer and bloom brighter. We hand select our blooms from the best wholesalers, suppliers, and farmers’ markets from New York to Washington. If it doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t go into your arrangement

CEREMONY & RECEPTION

A Floral Studio designer will always visit your ceremony and reception site in advance of creating your final arrangements. This service is free of charge and absolutely essential to the creation of arrangements that will enhance your event. We’ll make an appointment with the site coordinator and while we’re there we’ll take a few measurements and snap some pictures for our files. This way we know that everything we design will work in terms of placement, color, and the general mood of your venue. The bride is welcome to accompany the designer on this visit, especially if she has special concerns she wants addressed, but it is not necessary.

In most cases The Floral Studio will rent you the containers used for receptions and we will return at the conclusion of the event to pick up all rentals. Whenever possible we endeavor to create designs that will allow you to remove the arrangement itself at the conclusion of the event so that the arrangement can be given to departing guests. For instance, arrangements for our crystal candelabras can be made in a disposable bowl that can not be seen when the arrangement is on display, but can be easily removed at the conclusion of the reception

All orders over $300 include a free consultation at the site of your event. This includes your home, a church, outdoor reception site, or a venue hall. We like to see where the flowers will be placed and how they’ll be used to enhance your event. We’ll come in and take some measurements, note color and design, and probably snap a few photos to keep on file while we work on your designs. We then deliver to the site and assist in set-up. At the conclusion of your event, we’ll even come back to disassemble and pick up any rentals free of charge.
