Pastel colors are traditionally associated with Easter. “Why?” you may wonder. Well, here at Gordon Boswell, we think we know why. The pale, soft hues of pink, blue, green, yellow, and peach not only give us a feeling of calm and relaxation, but these colors are also uplifting and cheerful in a more gentle way. They reflect the early colors of spring and bring with it a sense of optimism, hope, and rebirth.

To help bring the freshness and wonderful characteristics of spring into your home, collect some pastel-colored blooms to put in a vase. Or, better yet, choose from one of our gorgeous pastel-colored arrangements perfect for Easter or Mother’s day.

Beautiful Pastel-Colored Flowers We Love Working With

Lavender Roses

The rare and exquisite lavender rose is often overlooked when one thinks of sending roses for romantic reasons. It’s understated elegance and unique color make them all the more captivating and alluring. Throughout their long history, they have taken on the symbolism of enchantment and representing love at first sight.

Lavender Carnations

Generally, the overall meaning of carnations is love and appreciation, though the purple carnation is known to represent capriciousness. Regardless of meaning, the soft colors of pale purple and lavender provide a soothing and lovely visual to add to any bouquet.

Light Pink Daisies

Symbolizing female energy, sweetness, love, and caring, the pale pink daisy is a fun and positive floral. With petals radiating around a circular center like the sun, the daisy is a flower that just makes you smile. We love incorporating this gently festive floral into many of our spring bouquets.

Sweet Pea

The beautiful and delicate sweetpea flower is a fragrant early spring flower with lovely soft-hued colors. It’s also the flower for the month of April. Cultivated for their sweet scent as well as their beauty as a flower to use in arrangements and weddings, the sweetpea symbolizes blissful pleasure.

Pink Roses

The gorgeous pink rose is something a softer and gentler sign of showing affection that its red counterpart. More for whispering “I love you,” rather than shouting it, the lovely and delicate pink rose is the perfect pastel floral to add to any spring arrangement – or any arrangement throughout the year as well. Also symbolizing sweetness, refinement, and elegance, a bouquet of nothing but pink roses is truly stunning.

Pink Stargazer Lilies

The striking stargazer lily is unique in how its white petals are painted in shades of pink from light to dark and then splashed with dots of magenta. As if created in a painter’s studio, the beautiful stargazer lily is a statement flower that adds pizzazz to any arrangement. Symbolizing innocence and purity, it’s the perfect flower for Easter!
