With the holiday season upon us, your favorite florist in Manchester, Every Day Bouquet, is getting ready! From quick pick-me-ups to gorgeous centerpieces, there is no shortage of demand. However, we often find that it doesn’t matter what type of arrangement; there are a few seasonal favorites when it comes to flower selection.
Here, we’re providing you with a look at the top four requested flowers of the Thanksgiving season.
Sunflowers
Known for its tall stock and large, bright yellow blooms, the sunflower’s name was brought for its unique habit. With a tendency to reposition itself up to 180 degrees, this bloom will turn east to west throughout the day to face the sun. Thus, it truly is a sunflower.
However, the many meanings are a bit more complicated than the name. Depending on the culture at hand, this flower takes on several meanings. In Native American cultures, the sunflower represents harvest and bounty – perhaps this is why it has become a Thanksgiving favorite.
Orange Roses
As you know, rose color is a language of its own. Most everyone knows that a red rose symbolizes love, but what about orange? Vibrant and fiery, the orange rose symbolizes happiness and thought to bring peace and good health. Again, another fitting choice for the Thanksgiving season.
Red Carnations
Like the rose, red carnations symbolize love and affection. While we could make this meaning work into a season filled with gratefulness and joy, it’s a bit of stretch. Instead, we’re going with the simple fact that red, especially deep red, makes the ideal complement to the fall color scheme. Take this color and add it to one of the most delicately versatile blooms known to last for weeks on end, and there you have it, the perfect reason to incorporate red carnations into your Thanksgiving arrangement.
Yellow Lilies
A symbol of happiness and cheer, the yellow lily brings much to the table – no pun intended. Some say this flower also conveys a message of remembrance with its stunning, eye-catching petals. Beyond the meaning and visual appeal, lilies are also some of the most fragrant blooms.
This Thanksgiving, if you’re looking for that perfect something to adorn your table, stop by Every Day Bouquet.
