The Secret Language of Flowers: What Your Bouquet Is Really Saying

You might think flowers are just pretty things you give on birthdays, anniversaries, or first dates... but they’ve actually been talking behind your back for centuries.

Back in the Victorian era, people used flowers to say what they couldn’t put into words. A single bloom could mean “I adore you,” “I forgive you,” or even “You’re on thin ice.” And honestly, not much has changed. Your bouquet still says a lot about you.

Let’s decode what your flowers might be whispering.

Roses: The classic love language. Red means passion, pink means affection, white means sincerity. If you’re giving a mix, you’re basically saying, “I like you, but let’s see where this goes.”

Sunflowers: These are the optimists of the flower world. Cheerful, loyal, and impossible to ignore; just like the person who gives them.

Tulips: The minimalist’s choice. Simple, modern, and effortlessly elegant. Perfect for the “I care, but I also have great taste” type.

Eucalyptus: Technically not a flower, but it gives your bouquet that “I know what’s trending” touch. It’s the floral equivalent of good perfume; subtle, grounding, unforgettable.

Peonies: The soft, romantic favorite. If someone gifts you peonies, they’re definitely the sentimental type who remembers anniversaries (and your coffee order).

At Suncrest Flowers, we believe a bouquet should speak your truth; whether it’s “I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” or “I just really like how this one looks on my kitchen counter.” Every stem we choose is intentional, curated, and fresh from local and in-season blooms.

Because flowers aren’t just decoration; they’re your message, beautifully delivered.
