The Meaning Behind Flower Colors
Flowers often carry symbolic meanings. Not only the type of flower but also its color holds significance. Each color conveys its own message. Below, we’ll share the general meanings of flower colors, although interpretations can be personal or vary by culture.

White flowers
As you might expect, white flowers stand for purity, cleanliness, freshness, clarity and simplicity. Other meanings are innocence, virginity, perfection, natural love and piety. Suitable for: weddings and funerals.

Yellow flowers
Yellow flowers stand for energy, power, growth, cheerfulness and joy. Yellow also stands for warmth, sun and a new beginning. They also fit well with the start of spring. Suitable for: birthday and congratulations.

Orange flowers
Orange flowers symbolise cheerfulness, warmth, sociability, optimism, fun, strength, vitality and energy. This colour is suitable for a birthday and congratulations.

Red flowers
Red flowers are naturally associated with passion, seduction, romance and tenderness. It is therefore a very suitable flower colour to give as a present to a loved one. Suitable for: romance.

Pink flowers
Pink flowers stand for innocence, just like white. This colour also stands for romance and tenderness. With this colour you really say: "I find you sweet and loving" or "I love you". A pink bouquet is suitable for Mother's Day and for the birth of a girl.

Purple flowers
Purple flowers are mainly used for mourning, but also stand for dignity and seriousness. For example, suitable for: funeral or condolence bouquet.

Blue flowers
Blue flowers symbolise divinity and eternity, but also (again) innocence. Blue flowers can be given for example at the birth of a boy.

Green flowers
Green flowers symbolize young life and fertility. In addition, these flowers also stand for peace, prosperity and hope. For example, suitable for the birth of a child.

Seasonal Flowers and Their Colors:
Did you know that the changing seasons also bring their own unique meanings to flowers? We’ve highlighted them below by season.
Spring Flower Colors:
In spring, we see cheerful flowers like tulips and ranunculus in bouquets and nature. These are often bulb flowers, growing from flower bulbs.
After the ‘dark’ winter months, we crave more color, which is why bright spring flowers are so popular and uplifting.
Summer Flower Colors:
Summer brings a more vibrant feel. Bold, striking flowers in vivid colors steal the show. The yellow sunflower and blue delphinium create an exuberant atmosphere. These flowers are extra sturdy, perfect for withstanding the summer heat.
Autumn Flower Colors:
As the days grow colder and we spend more time indoors, we gravitate toward warm hues. You’ll often see shades of orange and deep red in autumn bouquets, perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere.
Winter Flower Colors:
In winter, the elegant amaryllis takes center stage. This strong, stunning flower stands tall in any bouquet and draws attention with its thick stem. You’ll often find amaryllis not only in bouquets but also as individual bulbs during the winter months.
Winter flowers range from festive reds to colorful blooms.
