Every Petal Speaks: Discover the Meaning Behind the Blooms
Introducing the Flower Meaning Guide from Rest in Blooms
Flowers are more than beautiful—they speak a language of their own. For centuries, people have turned to petals, colors, and scents to express what words sometimes cannot. Whether you're sending flowers in grief, love, or celebration, knowing what each bloom symbolizes can make your gesture even more meaningful.
That's why we created the Flower Meaning Guide—a beautifully simple, free tool that helps you explore the hidden messages in popular funeral and sympathy flowers.
What the Flower Meaning Guide Offers
- A searchable library of common sympathy and memorial flowers
- Meanings for popular blooms like lilies, roses, orchids, carnations, and more
- Guidance on flower color symbolism (white, red, pink, yellow, etc.)
- Suggestions for cultural and religious flower meanings
- Ideas for pairing flowers based on message or personality
Why Flower Meaning Matters
When you're honoring a life, expressing grief, or showing support, the meaning behind your bouquet can deepen the impact of your gift. A white lily can express purity and peace. A red rose can honor enduring love. Carnations may say, “you are remembered.”
Using the Flower Meaning Guide ensures your floral choice speaks not only with beauty, but with purpose.
Who It's For
- Anyone choosing flowers for a funeral or memorial service
- Friends and family sending sympathy flowers
- People who want to match blooms with memory, personality, or tradition
- Curious souls who love the language of nature
Whether you're planning an arrangement or just learning, this guide brings intention to every bloom.
