When you think of Valentine’s Day, your thoughts invariably turn to roses. What other flower has the power to invoke such diverse feelings and emotions! Roses come in an abundance of colors and hues, each conveying their own special meaning or message. Even the number of flowers or colors combined suggests an unspoken intention.
Yes, Valentine’s Day is for roses, but with a little understanding of rose colors and their meanings, you can select a fitting shade for your event and subtly underline your theme, whether celebrating a newlywed couple’s vows or the enduring devotion of a Silver Anniversary.
A few to consider…
Red – probably the most famous color, it shouts, “I love you!”
White – angelic, innocence; perfect for Dad to give daughters
Red and white together – unity; thank your parents for being such great symbols of love through the years
Yellow – symbolizes friendship, affection, and joy
Lavender – love at first sight…what more needs to be said?
A single rose stands for simplicity and love, two roses taped or wired together to form a single stem signify an upcoming engagement or marriage. A terrific way to propose!
