Sending Comfort in Difficult Times

Choosing the right flowers for sympathy can be deeply personal. Often soft in colour and gentle in fragrance, these arrangements are designed to bring a sense of calm and solace.

Choosing the Right Sympathy Flowers

The gesture of sending with sympathy flowers is not about making a grand statement – it’s about expressing support and care. Here are a few options often chosen:

• Bouquets: Ideal for sending directly to someone’s home, often in pastel tones with soft greens and whites.

• Wreaths & Sprays: Typically sent to funerals or memorial services to honour the life of the deceased.

• Potted Plants: A longer-lasting alternative that can continue to grow and offer comfort long after the ceremony.

• Arrangements in Vases or Baskets: Elegant and low-maintenance, perfect for display without requiring further attention.

When selecting sympathy flowers, consider the personality of the recipient or the person being remembered. Gentle whites, calming blues, and soft pinks are traditional, but vibrant colours may be suitable for someone who celebrated life with joy and brightness.
