Sometimes, the perfect flower arrangement says more than words ever could! Whether you’re thanking your parents on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, showing grandpa and grandma some love on Grandparent’s Day, or just brightening your siblings’ or chosen family member’s day (they deserve it 100 percent!), choosing the right shade of blossoms can make a major impact. And, of course, our sweet pups and kitties deserve some love, too! At Busch’s Fresh Flowers & Fine Gifts in Jefferson City, Missouri, we’re thrilled to offer you a guide to picking fresh, pretty flowers that celebrate all of your faves.
Pink Petals for Moms & Grandmoms
Pink flowers are like wrapping yourself in your softest blanket — they bring so much warmth to our bones and gratitude to our hearts. They’re ideal for saying “Thank you for everything” or “I love you to the moon and back” to the wonderful grandmoms and mothers who’ve cared for you endlessly. Lush peonies rep prosperity and good fortune, while posh pink roses signify appreciation, joy, and admiration. And those cute carnations? They beautifully reflect a mother’s undying love for her little ones. So perfect!
Purple Blooms for Dads & Granddads
Purple flowers are just so regal; they’re dignified and majestic, which of course makes us think of our dads and grandpas. They exude sincere admiration and respect, making them a great choice for his bouquet. Purple orchids — intense tropical blooms — are full of noble beauty, while lilacs offer a delightful scent and old-fashioned charm. Finally, irises stand for courage and wisdom, making a bold statement that any dad will appreciate.
Green & Blue Flowers for Brothers & Honorary Bros
Green and blue blossoms are all about serenity, dependability, devoted loyalty, and tranquility — just right for the awesome brothers and honorary bros who always show up for you! Blue hydrangeas bring in a calming energy that soothes, while green chrysanthemums add vibrant life (and shout out the trust and friendship you count on). For a unique flair, include the rugged beauty of blue thistle, which will complete the bouquet.
Peach Stems for Sisters & Honorary Sis
Peach flowers remind us of perfect sunsets and life’s sweetness, much like your joyful relationship with your one-of-a-kind sisters (honorary totally counts, too). This on-trend peach shade also calls to mind sincerity and gratitude. To add elegant vibes, opt for plush ranunculus with their cozy layers, or go for awesome alstroemeria for a fun, friendly vibe. Plus, they’re the flowers of friendship, so fitting. If your sister is all about traditional elegance, however, a bouquet of tulips will be perfect for her.
Orange & White Flowers for Your Furry Fam
Give a nod to your furry pals with a bouquet of orange and white blossoms, which stand for purity, joy, innocence, and excitement — everything your pets are! While putting this adorable bouquet together, be sure to select flowers that are safe for them. Bold orange gerbera daisies are a great choice; they’re super colorful and non-toxic. Combine these blooms with white snapdragons, which are also safe for pets (and beautiful). This combo is a perfect reflection of the happiness your four-legged friend brings you.
Now that you legit know the perfect colors for every family occasion, you can craft bouquets that speak volumes. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just because, let the flowers from Busch’s Fresh Flowers & Fine Gifts do the talking.
