Flowers are a celebration of life. With the uncertain times we live in, there’s nothing more uplifting than celebrating new life. The story you want your flowers to tell are of love, luck, new beginnings and rebirth… Remember, the birth of a baby is also the rebirth of a woman as a mother. Any one of the following is the perfect flower to give a new mother… Or, even better of course, put them together in a celebratory bouquet.

  • White carnations symbolise pure love and luck, which is something all new parents need.
  • Daisies represent purity, innocence and new beginnings… They also evoke feelings of happiness, joy and prosperity.
  • The beautiful yellow daffodil is known to mean new beginnings and rebirth.

As an alternative, or an addition, to the above, you could also choose to gift them with the flower that represents the birth month of their baby.

The perfect flower for an Anniversary

Roses are the standard when it comes to love or celebrating romance. Especially while we’re celebrating a special someone from far away, nothing says, “I love you” like a bouquet of roses. However, there are a ton of different blooms that celebrate love.

For instance, the Matsumoto Aster in red means “undying devotion” and is a “talisman of love and a symbol of patience”. What wonderful messages to share with the one you love! Or how about Hydrangeas? The pink hydrangea has ties to romance, heartfelt emotions, love, weddings and marriage. Where the purple hydrangea is a symbol of desire for deeper understanding, which is something every couple could use.

Beyond the symbolism, there is also a perfect flower for each anniversary year…
