Remembrance Bouquet, Remembrance flower meanings and collaborations<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This year, to show our appreciation, we have designed our own Remembrance Day bouquet. We are going to be donating 10% of each sale to a charity close to the British Armed Forces, to support soldiers and their families. We are also giving people the option to donate with any purchase made on Blossoming Gifts during Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

Our Remembrance bouquet<\/h2>\n

Our Remembrance Day bouquet is made using a beautiful flower arrangement of white oriental lily, delianne chrysanthemum, red rose, red anemone and pistache. The colours are chosen to represent remembrance. The reds symbolise the red poppies that grew out of the war-stained fields. The whites represent the international symbol of peace. The blues, greens and yellows are used to complement the main colours.<\/p>\n

    What is the flower meaning of the White Oriental Lily?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The use of the Lily in this Bouquet is used to symbolise that the soul of those who have left us is restored with innocence after death. Did you know that there is between 80 to 100 species of lily? It is also a symbol of purity throughout the bible.<\/p>\n

      \n

      What is the flower meaning of the Delianne Chrysanthemum?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The Delianne Chrysanthemum is used to represent optimism- that the war will stop at some point and peace will again prevail. The chrysanthemum was first used in China as a flowering herb and a headache remedy.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        What is the flower meaning of the red rose?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The Red rose symbolises love, therefore we should love each other and show no hostility. From the Greeks to Shakespeare, the red rose has always been used to show passion or love.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          What is the flower meaning of the red Anemone?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          By using the Red Anemone, it symbolises death and honours and respects those who have passed. Did you know that anemone (in greek anemos) stands for wind? The anemone is often known as the \u2018wind flower\u2019. They are also linked to the forsaken or those left behind. During Remembrance Day, we honour all.<\/p>\n

          Why do we celebrate Remembrance Day? How are we celebrating this year?<\/h2>\n

          Remembrance Day is a memorial day whereby we honour and pray for those who have served and died during war, and those who continue to serve. It is celebrated on the second Sunday in November to mark the end of the hostilities of war, which officially ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. This is why we take a two-minute silence on the 11th November at 11.00am. Remembrance Day is marked by the poppy; a flower that grew out of the war stained soil by the thousands. Used as a way of showing our respects to the soldiers, it also shows how even during the harsh surroundings of war, nature can still flourish.<\/p>\n

          If you are interested in purchasing a Remembrance Bouquet, you can do so on our store. We offer next day delivery 7 days a week until 6.30pm each day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
