In the final part of our short blog series on the hidden meanings behind the colours of flowers, we take a look at purple, lavender and white flowers!
Purple Flowers:
The Symbolic meaning of purple flowers are associated with power, wealth, dignity and life’s luxuries.
Purple has such a strong meaning or power that it was first known as the colour of royalty. Purple fabric used to be so outrageously expensive that only rulers could afford it. The dye came from the Phoenician trading city of Tyre (now modern-day Lebanon) where the fabric traders obtained it from a small mollusk that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean Sea. More than 9,000 mollusks were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian purple.
Purple flowers are also known to bring energizing and stimulating vibrant colour to any bouquet and are viewed with admiration.
Lavender Flowers:
Lavender flowers are particularly a symbol of elegance, femininity, beauty, admiration, grace and refinement.
By giving someone a bouquet of beautiful coloured lavender flowers this indicates that they are looked up to and seen as being refined, classy and a lady. What a compliment to get bouquets of these beautiful colour flowers.
White Flowers:
When you look at white flowers you automatically know that the meaning behind them is purity, innocence and pure love.
But its symbolism is known for humility, sincere feelings and reverence.
The most popular white flowers are the Gardenia, Rose, Daisies, the graceful Calla Lily, and the Peace Lily to name a few.
