International Friendship Day’s on its way on 30th July, and it’s the perfect excuse to spoil your friends!
Here are some of our favourite flowers which symbolise friendship to treat your friends to this year:
Roses
Roses are super popular, and they’re beautiful in bouquets for any occasion. Each shade has its own special meaning, but when it comes to bouquets for friends, you can’t go wrong with yellow roses. They’re all about friendship and joy. Pink roses are also a great choice because they say, “I really admire and appreciate you.”
Even better, roses are available all year round, so you can surprise your friends with a bunch of roses whenever you like!
Lilies
The lily’s heady fragrance and elegant blooms make it a classic flower for bouquets. Orange lilies are great to send to friends, as they symbolise excitement, warmth, energy, and enthusiasm. Send them to celebrate an achievement, cheer your friend up, or just to thank them for being a great friend! Yellow lilies are another great choice; like many yellow blooms, they’re associated with happiness and joy.
Sunflowers
Sunflowers are always favourites in summer and autumn, and their meanings make them ideal in bouquets for friends. These vibrant and happy flowers have so many positive vibes; they symbolise friendship, happiness, luck, and warmth. Whether you want to cheer a friend up, celebrate a happy occasion, or just tell them you appreciate them, sending sunflowers is the way to go.
Alstroemeria
Alstroemeria look just like little lilies, so they’re also called Peruvian lilies or lilies of the Incas. But it’s not just their beauty that makes them special – alstroemeria also symbolise unbreakable friendships, devotion, and support, making them wonderful flowers for friends.
Here’s something even more fascinating – each petal of the alstroemeria also has its own meaning. These meanings represent the building blocks of any strong and lasting friendship: understanding, humour, commitment, patience, empathy and respect. Alstroemeria are the perfect way to celebrate all the best parts of friendship!
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are another top pick for friends. When it comes to meanings, each one is different – pink chrysanthemums send a message of friendship. Alternatively, opt for white chrysanthemums to convey a sense of loyalty and honesty, or yellow ones when you’re celebrating a happy occasion. Another great thing about chrysanthemums is that they are one of the longest-lasting cut flowers out there. They can fresh and vibrant for two, or even three weeks in a vase.
So, why not surprise your friend with some chrysanthemums? You’ll be sending good wishes, representing friendship or loyalty, and providing them with a long-lasting reminder of your care and thoughtfulness. It’s a win-win situation!
Gerbera Daisies
These little rays of sunshine are just the thing to brighten up any bouquet. We can’t get enough of the dainty germini varieties – they’re perfect for adding a cheerful pop of colour! Send your friend yellow gerberas to symbolise friendship and happiness, orange ones to convey warmth and enthusiasm, or pink ones to let them know you admire and appreciate them.
Freesias
Don’t underestimate freesias – these flowers may be small, but their fragrance is out of this world. They’ve got a beautifully sweet scent with hints of lemon and spice. Plus, freesias symbolise friendship, trust, and sweetness, so they carry a lovely, heartfelt message for friends. Why not send them to a friend who’s moving to spruce up their new place?
Irises
Irises’ unusual flowers are perfect for adding a quirky and unique look to bouquets. They symbolise trust, so they’re a lovely way to celebrate a strong friendship. On top of that, they also represent bravery, hope, and wisdom. So, if you want to shower your friend with compliments about their amazing qualities, irises are your go-to.
Keep an eye out for them in spring and summer bouquets. Oh, and here’s a fun fact: irises are one of the rare flowers that naturally come in blue. If your friend adores all things blue, don’t pass up the chance to brighten their day with irises!
Tulips
Tulips are one of our go-to flowers for friends when spring is in the air. Yellow tulips symbolise friendship and happiness, but also tell someone “there’s sunshine in your smile”. It really can’t get much cuter than that!
If you’ve got a friend who’s going through a hard time, or you just want to tell someone how much you care, pink tulips are also a great pick. They convey your best wishes and affection, making them a wonderful way to show someone that you’re there for them.
Hyacinths
Not a fan of tulips? You’re in luck, as they’re not your only option in spring! Blue hyacinths symbolise loyalty and sincerity, so they’re lovely way to thank a friend who’s always been there for you. Pink hyacinths work well for someone who make you laugh, as they represent joy and playfulness.
