More Than Meets the Eye

Flowers are beautiful on their own, but their colors carry powerful meanings that make your gift even more thoughtful. Choosing the right hue lets you express emotions without saying a word. At Beth’s Flowers, we love helping customers match the perfect flower color to every occasion.

🌹 Red Flowers: Love, Passion & Respect

Red is the most iconic flower color, symbolizing deep love and passion. Red roses are the universal choice for romance, anniversaries, and Valentine’s Day, but they also convey admiration and respect, making them perfect for honoring someone special.

🤍 White Flowers: Purity, Peace & Sympathy

White blooms represent innocence, purity, and new beginnings. They are often chosen for weddings, symbolizing unity and fresh starts. White flowers also carry a sense of peace and reverence, making them appropriate for sympathy arrangements and memorials.

🌼 Yellow Flowers: Friendship, Joy & Sunshine

Yellow is the color of happiness and friendship. Sunflowers, daisies, and yellow roses bring warmth and positivity, making them wonderful for birthdays, congratulations, and “just because” gifts. They brighten spirits like sunshine in a vase.

Soft and delicate, pink flowers symbolize admiration, appreciation, and joy. From pale blush to vibrant hot pink, they’re perfect for expressing gratitude, celebrating milestones, or simply showing someone you care.
