4 Ways to Say Sorry With Flowers
When you've offended someone and made an error in judgment, you want to rectify the situation quickly. If someone is undergoing a painful situation, you want to offer comfort and condolences the best way you can. Many people choose to say "I'm sorry" with flowers. Flowers are often meant to lift peoples' spirits and have been used to express many emotions for centuries.
Because each type of flower conveys its own personal message or emotion, you want to make sure you send your sincere apologies with the right bouquet. Marine Florist can help you design the ideal flower arrangement to express your regrets, or you can help design your own arrangement by incorporating any of the following blooms.
1. Lily of the Valley
This decadent and impressive bloom sends a clear message of restoring happiness in your relationship. If you've offended someone to the point of disturbing your relationship with them, then lily of the valley will tell the recipient you are intent on making things right and only hope for their well-being.
Combine lily of the valley flowers with yellow roses. Yellow roses convey a message of innocence and happiness — indicating that you meant no true harm.
2. Purple Hyacinth
This particular flower is brilliantly hued and uniquely shaped. It also expresses deep regret and allows you to express how remorseful you are in a thoughtful way. Use this bloom if your actions have hurt someone. By sending this variety of flower, you can let someone know that you were in the wrong and want to make things right again.
Ivy is a lovely bloom to pair with the purple hyacinth. Ivy represents fidelity and commitment, which tells the recipient that you will never make the same hurtful mistake again.
3. Scarlet Geranium
The geranium is a common flower that is easy to grow, and each hue of this cheerful bloom carries its own meaning. In the event of expressing an apology, the scarlet variety is your best option.
Scarlet geraniums tell a simple message: that you are sorry and offer your condolences. This is a tender bloom to add to a bouquet when you want to express your sorrow for the loss of a loved one or another devastating occurrence.
To add more color and meaning to your bouquet, add the white poppy to your flower arrangement. This flower offers comfort and condolences to make your concerns even more clear and genuine.
4. Star of Bethlehem
If you have truly done someone wrong and fear that your relationship with them is destroyed forever, then the Star of Bethlehem is a wise bloom to choose. The meaning of this powerful flower is reconciliation, which tells the recipient that you are hopeful for the future and wish to start over again.
This bloom is best sent alone so you don't convey any mixed messages. However, you can add a few ferns — a blooming fern is believed to symbolize riches and happiness — as a way to soften the demeanor of the person you have wronged.
Telling someone that you are sorry can feel very difficult to do. Your florist can help you arrange a beautiful assortment of flowers to convey your message. You can further customize your intentions by sending a heartfelt note with the arrangement to tell the recipient how much you truly care.
Flowers have been used for centuries to convey a variety of emotions — sorrow and regret being a few of them. At Marine Florists, our florists can arrange an attractive and personalized bouquet. Discuss the types of flowers you wish to send to someone with our friendly representatives today.
