Sympathy flowers can be ordered from your online florist and show support and condolences to a bereaved person. Words can seem inadequate when a person close to you loses someone, but, when you arrange to send sympathy flowers, it is a beautiful way of saying to a bereaved person that you care and that they are in your thoughts. You feel their pain and can do very little to alleviate it, but the delivery of a floral bouquet does not intrude on their grief and can express your feelings far more eloquently than words alone.
There is no right sympathy flower to send and there is a vast arrangement of beautiful flowers in your online shop which would be very acceptable to send to the bereaved person. However, to make your delivery of flowers convey a unique and personal message, it is worth thinking about the meaning of the flowers and the following are especially suitable in this respect:
- Thrift: Sympathy
- Abor Vitae: True Friendship
- Carnation, Red: My heart aches for you
- Snowdrop: Hope and Consolation
- Hyacinth, white: I will pray for you
- Forget-me-not: Hope, Remembrance, Memories
- Pansy: Remembrance
- Rose, pink: Sympathy
Floral tributes offer sympathy to a bereaved person and have been used for centuries. At funerals, the Egyptians used poppies which denote sleep, rest and calmness. It has become a custom nowadays to place a sympathy flower on the hearse of a loved one to show remembrance.
The positive effect of colour and fragrance on a person’s mood has been proven and a delivery of fresh colourful flowers is a beautiful gift. A flower bouquet with mainly yellow flowers such as daffodils would convey warmth and would be the best colour to send to uplift a bereaved person. A more traditional floral arrangement might be a flower basket with predominately white flowers such as lilies which represent solemn peace. Mainly blue flowers would have a positive healing effect as the colour blue is used to represent heaven and can produce a calming, soothing effect making it suitable to be used as a sympathy flower.
The perfection and beauty of sympathy flowers or a floral wreath can help a bereaved person know that you are thinking of them and sharing their loss. A visit to your online florist is quick and you will be surprised at the variety of flowers which would be suitable to send.
With your knowledge of the bereaved family, you are sure to find a floral tribute which will be ‘just right’ for the occasion. There are many sympathy flowers to chose from – floral bouquets, flower baskets, flower sprays or a traditional wreath. Ordering flowers from your online florist is the fastest and most efficient way of arranging a delivery of flowers in this modern world – no traffic jams, no crowds of shoppers, no need to take time off work. You can make the selection of sympathy flowers from the privacy of your own home or office.
