The Language of Flowers, Rewritten for Today
Victorian floriography gave every bloom a secret meaning. We've translated the classics for modern gifting.
In the 19th century, flowers carried coded messages — a whole conversation could be held in a bouquet. Many of those meanings still shape how we choose flowers today.
Roses
- Red — deep love and respect
- Pink — gratitude and admiration
- White — new beginnings and remembrance
- Peach — sincerity and appreciation
Tulips
Perfect, uncomplicated love. Yellow tulips have shed their old meaning of hopeless love and now simply say ‘cheerful thoughts’.
Orchids
Refinement, strength and enduring beauty — a fitting gift for milestones and professional achievements.
Peonies
Prosperity, romance and a happy marriage. Small wonder they're the most-requested wedding flower in our studio.
Sunflowers
Loyalty and adoration — and the simplest way to bring a Big Sky afternoon indoors.
