Blooming Appreciation: How to Arrange a Thank-You Floral Gift


What does gratitude season mean to you? Is it getting ready for the kids to leave the dorms and come home once again? Perhaps it’s getting your holiday planning started so you can be ready when it’s go-time. Or maybe you’re anticipating the momentous occasions that are on your calendar, like milestone graduations, important birthdays, baby showers, and more. To up the appreciation ante for all of these big moments, let The Blossom Shop in Charlotte, North Carolina help you find the flower arrangements that sing “thank you” loud and clear.

Start with the Meaning of Colors

Purple Flowers

They call the color royal purple for a reason: It’s the hue fit for kings and queens. That’s why we love gifting violet flowers to loved ones who’ve accomplished something big or who are marking a major milestone. Purple blossoms are also tied to elegance and refinement, meaning your thank you gesture will be sophisticated and sincere.

Yellow Flowers

Sometimes the best way to say thank you is with the brightness and joy that only yellow flowers can bring. These sunny blooms shed light on the friendships that sustain us the most. We especially love gifting them to the folks who have always been there us (and always will be).

Peach Flowers

While super bright and bold colors like red and yellow often steal the show in flower arrangements, peach blooms are just as lovely. They also have symbolism that’s great for showing appreciation, including sweetness and sincerity, a perfect combination. So if someone has been a major support to you, you know what shade to pick!

Then, Select Symbolic Stems

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are one of our favorites for their many lovely qualities. Their full, round blossoms give floral designs an impressive volume and their delicate patterns offer subtle beauty up close. Most importantly, they’re known for conveying heartfelt emotion, making your gesture truly special.

Calla Lilies

What flower do you think of when it comes to pure elegance in every context? If calla lilies were your answer, we completely agree. With their smooth, graceful lines, they bring an elevated poshness to any bouquet. Yellow and pink calla lilies, known for symbolizing appreciation, are especially perfect for a bouquet that’s given with sincerity.

Succulents

We think it’s so inspiring when those we love are there for us when we’re experiencing hard times. It says so much about their character while being super inspiring. Show them your deepest gratitude with succulents, which symbolize selflessness and love — the things that make the world go around. They also represent resilience and never giving up, no matter what.

Finally, Enhance Your Sentiment

White Stems

The last part of putting together the perfect gratitude bouquet is adding in white flowers, which serve two functions. For one, they are packed with meaning, ranging from purity and humility to honesty and thoughtfulness — all wonderful sentiments. For two, they complement the many hues and textures of the bouquet, providing balance and serenity that completes the look.

When a simple “thank you” doesn’t feel like enough, let flowers take over. Partner with The Blossom Shop to create a stunning bouquet that says it all with beauty and emotion.
