Pink Roses, Daisies and Carnations: A Soft and Elegant Bouquet Guide
What pink roses, white daisies and lavender carnations mean, and how to combine them into a graceful bouquet for Mother's Day, birthdays and more.
Soft pinks, whites and lavenders make some of the most graceful bouquets there are. Each flower also carries its own meaning, so the mix says something too.
Pink roses
Pink roses stand for gratitude, admiration and gentle affection. Lighter shades feel sweet and tender, which is why they are a favourite for Mother's Day and thank-you gifts.
White daisies
Daisies symbolise innocence, freshness and new beginnings. Their simple, crisp petals keep a bouquet from feeling too formal.
Lavender carnations
Lavender carnations are linked with admiration and uniqueness. They are also one of the longest-lasting cut flowers, often staying fresh for up to two weeks.
Putting it together
Pair the roses and daisies with lavender carnations and a little green foliage, such as variegated pittosporum, for a balanced look. A purple vase adds a regal finishing touch.
It is a lovely choice for birthdays, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and any occasion that deserves a touch of grace.
