The meaning of flowers
Did you know that flowers speak?
At Dovedale Florist in Liverpool, we are experts in their language. We also know how to translate what you need into beautiful, affordable local flower deliveries.
When thinking about the meaning of flowers, possibly the first thing that springs to mind is a big bunch of flowers to say sorry. Or, finding a Liverpool florist when you have a birthday gift to buy.
But the meaning of flowers goes much further than asking the team at Dovedale Florist to create an anniversary arrangement.
So, what do you want to say?
How to choose the right flowers for your bouquet
Let’s start with the most obvious. If you want flowers that declare “I love you”, then you may well visit our Liverpool L18 florist shop to ask for red roses.
But even those can have other symbolism. Perhaps most famously the red rose in Beauty and the Beast. It counts down to disaster, as well as being a symbol of love and hope.
Do you remember the red rose petals, arranged around a young girl in the famous (and much copied) American Beauty publicity? They're a symbol of innocent beauty.
Clearly this versatile flower can mean a lot of different things and Dovedale Florist in Liverpool is delighted to include roses in bouquets for any occasion.
Some other flower meanings are a matter of opinion. Dovedale Florist in Liverpool has come across some common perceptions though. This includes bluebells for kindness, tulips for passion and lilies for a range of deep emotions. Yellow roses are often seen as a symbol of friendship, orchids for refinement and honeysuckle is associated with devotion.
Azaleas are the Chinese symbol of womanhood, while daffodils say spring and Poinsettia is forever bound up with Christmas. And of course, forget-me-nots speak for themselves!
Did you see the hauntingly beautiful movie Memoirs of a Geisha? Cherry blossom – which has cultural significance in Japan - features heavily. In one love scene, the tree sprinkles its delicate pale pink petals like a blessing.
