The season of gratitude has arrived once again, meaning there’s so much for us to be appreciative of. You likely have a lot going on with the kids coming back home from yet another semester and holiday gatherings with loved ones to plan for. Chances are you also have some milestone events on the horizon, like baby showers, birthdays, and graduations. Regardless of the occasion, incorporating fresh flowers from Gordon Boswell in Fort Worth, Texas as gifts and decor will boost the spirit of gratitude across the board.

Start with the Meaning of Colors

Purple Flowers

There’s more to purple flowers than their gorgeous violet or lavender color; they are also rich in symbolism. Purple is the color of royalty, so gifting blooms dressed in the shade shows your respect for someone’s status and successes — perfect for milestone occasions. Purple blooms also show sincere admiration, so that aspect is covered nicely.

Yellow Flowers

There are some people in our life who have staying power; no matter how much time passes, you always pick up on the same page. Say thank you to these incredible folks with yellow flowers that salute that longevity. Plus the bright, warm color highlights the brightness they bring to your amazing friendship.

Peach Flowers

Has someone been super supportive of you lately? Or have they done something kind that caught you by surprise and you want to return the favor? If so, peach is a great color for doing just that, thanks to their symbolism; they’re all about sincerity and sweetness. Plus peach flowers have a broad appeal, a bonus.

Then, Select Symbolic Stems

Hydrangeas

Whether you admire them growing in your garden or as part of a stunning floral arrangement, hydrangeas always steal the spotlight with their volume and beauty. Representing heartfelt emotion, they’re a meaningful addition to your most significant thank you gestures.

Calla Lilies

Calla lilies are like the supermodels of the floristry world — stunning, sleek, and elegant. Their graceful curves and long, refined lines bring an instant sense of sophistication to any floral design. Plus, with pink or yellow calla lilies symbolizing appreciation, they’re even more irresistible.

Succulents

While flowers are usually our favorite way to show gratitude, sometimes stepping a bit outside the box can send a special message. In this case, it’s the symbolism of succulents that we think is super fitting, as they’re ambassadors of strength and endurance. They also stand for selflessness and love, which is what thankfulness is about at its core.

Finally, Enhance Your Sentiment

White Stems

The color white is rich in symbolism, including purity, elegance, and thoughtfulness — qualities that certainly belong in a gratitude bouquet. In addition to adding meaning, white blossoms balance arrangements with a lot of color, lending serenity to the overall design. In other words, white flowers amplify your message visually and symbolically, rounding everything out.

When words alone can’t express your appreciation, flowers can. Let Gordon Boswell help you design a bouquet that says “I’m grateful” in the most elegant and meaningful way possible.
