Congratulations Flowers | Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do We Say Congratulations with Flowers?
There are many ways to say ‘congratulations’, but none so popular as sending a bouquet of flowers to the person you’re celebrating.
We’ve long used flowers to communicate messages to one another; messages of love, sympathy, gratitude, adoration, appreciation, apology and, of course, congratulations.
Not only are flowers aesthetically beautiful and mood-boosting, but they’re also easy to order and send from anywhere in the world. They allow your presence to be felt even when you can’t be there in person to say congratulations — and that’s pretty special.
Today, most florists — including our team at Floraly — design occasion-specific bouquets so that you can rest assured that your flowers are sending the right message.
What Are Some Flowers That Say ‘Congratulations’?
So, which flowers symbolise congratulations?
Fortunately, there’s no shortage of blooms that say ‘congratulations’, so there’s something for even the pickiest of recipients. Let’s take a look at which varieties will suit the occasion you’re celebrating.
‘Congratulations on Your Wedding’ Flowers
While roses are typically thought of as a Valentine’s Day gift, they come in an array of colours besides red, making them the perfect gift for so many other occasions.
Yellow roses are symbolic of friendship and warmth, while pink roses represent happiness and admiration. White roses convey innocence and purity. With these meanings, it’s no surprise that these three varieties are commonly used to say ‘congratulations on your wedding.’
Whether you’re opting for a mixed bunch or sticking to the one hue, yellow, pink or white roses are the perfect way to congratulate the newlyweds.
‘Congratulations on Your New Job’ Flowers
If your loved one has just secured an amazing new job, peonies are the perfect way to say congratulations.
These beautiful blooms symbolist good luck and prosperity, as well as honour and happiness — themes that certainly align with a new job!
‘Congratulations on Your Grand Opening’ Flowers
When celebrating a loved one’s new chapter, the occasion calls for bright blooms. We’re talking about bold bouquets that spark joy and breathe new life into the home.
That’s what makes daffodils the perfect option when congratulating someone on their grand opening or new business venture. These cheery yellow blooms represent resilience, rebirth and new beginnings.
‘Congratulations on Your Pregnancy’ Flowers
If someone you love is expecting, gifting them a bunch of gerberas is the perfect way to say congratulations.
Gerberas are famously one of the most joyous blooms around. They arrive in a vast array of colours, each which carry their own unique meaning. For example, orange represents energy and enthusiasm, yellow symbolises happiness, and purple represents pride and respect.
These flowers will perfectly convey how happy you are for them and their bub-to-be!
‘Congratulations on Your Baby’ Flowers
When your loved one has welcomed new life into the world, clutter is the last thing they need. So instead of gifting them something that they’ll need to find a new spot for, go for a beautiful bunch of blooms.
They’ll brighten the hope but they’re not permanent, so they won’t take up any of that precious space that’s needed for nappies, swaddle cloths, and more nappies.
As for which flowers to choose, opt for a variety that is low-maintenance. Your recipient won’t have time to feed the flowers and replace their water to keep them fresh — they’ve got a newborn to worry about!
Enter: Australian Natives. These flowers are not only beautiful to look at, but they’re also very grounding, making them the perfect gift to bring a sense of peace and calm into the home when it’s needed most.
They’re also hardy and long-lasting, so your recipient will be able to enjoy them for a long time without tending to them often.
