Whatever message you want to convey, let Pea Pod & Juniper give it that personal touch. A striped carnation means “I’m sorry, I wish I could be with you but I can’t.” It is important to be aware of the subtle differences in the flowers – for example a red rose means “I love you” but if the shade of red is too dark it will imply shame. A bluebell is a symbol of gratitude and a cattail is used to wish someone peace and prosperity.
If the two colors are mixed together in a bouquet it will symbolize a message of true love. This created a secret code language of flowers that people could use to give messages that they wouldn’t dare speak out loud.įlowers have been used to convey messages for a long time before than in the Middle East and Persia, but it was during the Victorian Era when ‘flower dictionaries’ began to be published which explained the meaning behind every plant.įor example, a white chrysanthemum represents truth and a red one symbolizes love. Sometimes the same flower could even have many different meanings, depending on how it was delivered or arranged. In the Victorian era, for example, each flower represented something specific and certain flowers could be combined to send messages of affection, interest and love. However, in time gone by flowers had a lot more meaning. When most people think of floral arrangements they consider them simply as a decoration – something beautiful to give as a gift, use as a table centerpiece or decorate a wedding.
