PURPLE FLOWER BOUQUETS
Opulent, dramatic, elegant, and understated, Purple flower bouquets rank among the top-selling flowers all year round. No other colour combines richness and elegance with peace and tranquillity as purple flowers do. They span the spectrum from light lavenders and lilacs to dark vibrant violets and magentas. Across cultures, species, and time, purple flowers have a diverse, rich history, covering a multitude of meanings in the language of flowers .
THE MEANING BEHIND PURPLE FLOWERS
Purple flowers have a rich history as symbols of royalty and wealth. In ancient times, purple was a highly prized colour associated with gods and emperors. In Egypt, only the pharaoh’s family was permitted to wear purple. The Greeks dedicated lavender to Aphrodite, their deity of love. Christians reserved purple for priests’ vestments on somber occasions. In Thailand, purple flowers traditionally symbolise sorrow, yet The Victorians took the symbolism of purple flowers to a new level.
Deep purple blooms were sent as a message of adoration that was passionate and unattainable. Lilacs were given as a sign of new love and were often sent with an intimate letter or romantic poem. Today, purple flowers still send a message of love, and they are often sent to recognise successes and admiration.
WHY SEND PURPLE FLOWERS?
A purple arrangement is often an indulgent gift. It carries the connotations of being daring, luxurious, and elegant. Purple floral bouquets are usually sent as a token of admiration or gratitude. For messages of sympathy, a traditional purple flower arrangement strikes the right note of dignity. Their association with luxury, achievement, and education makes purple flowers perfect for graduations, birthdays, and celebrations of success.
