COLOUR + FLOWERS = AMAZING!

I LOVE flowers! And not just because they look beautiful and smell divine, but because they are actually able to make a difference in our overall well being.

Flowers can do everything from improve our sleep and decrease our anxiety, to brighten our environment and improve our memory. Science and medical studies have proven flowers - whether a single stem or a large bouquet - will have a positive impact on us, so we should start including them in our daily lives now.

That’s the most important thing - to just have flowers in our environment as much as we can. But if you want to add another layer of ‘flower benefits’ to your health and well-being, consider the colour of the flowers too.

Every colour portrays a mood or feeling. Understanding what those ‘colour vibes’ are and how to pair them with flowers to make the most of their benefits is something you can eaisly do.

Here is a run-down of the emotion or feeling each colour portrays and an example of how to use them with flowers:

RED - Red represents love and courage, and is full of energy and excitement. A vase of red flowers in a creative work environment is sure to inspire and improve productivity.

ORANGE - Orange is a colour full of warmth and enthusiasm. It’s like liquid sunshine. If you work in an office, have a vase of orange blooms on your desk to bring some of that joy into the room.

YELLOW - Yellow is a cheerful colour full of optimism. If you are sending ‘get well’ wishes to someone, yellow flowers make the perfect choice.

GREEN - Green represents renewal, growth, and harmony. Choose ‘lime’ green flowers like zinnias or chrysanthemums to bring a pop of colour to the rest of a bouquet.

BLUE - Blue is a colour for calm and serenity. Pair pale blue flowers with other pastel coloured flowers and place in the bedroom to help with a restful nights sleep.

PURPLE - Purple is a colour of charm and dignity. Place an arrangement of purple flowers on your dining room table for a feeling of elegance.

PINK - Pink is the colour of compassion and nurturing. Place pink flowers on windowsills, mantle pieces, end tables, entrance ways, or anywhere you want to add a touch of pleasing beauty.

WHITE - White represents peace and simplicity. If you have a room that feels chaotic, add some white flowers to add a feeling of tranquility.

Remember - Colours + Flowers = Amazing!
