Assorted Color Flowers

Colorful flowers make a cheerful gift for someone who can't pick a favorite color. This small collection holds two multicolor designs, a fall bouquet and a mix of long-stem roses, each hand-tied by a local florist near the recipient.

One suits a romance or a birthday, the other a fall gathering, and the guide below compares them.

Choosing a colorful bouquet

Two multicolor bouquets

Deluxe Elegance Long Stem Assorted Roses puts red, pink, yellow and orange roses in one vase with baby's breath, in 24, 36 or 48 stems, for an anniversary, a birthday or any time one color feels too narrow. Fall Devotion Bouquet is the seasonal pick: sunflowers, roses and daisies in red, orange and bronze, cooled by white hydrangeas and pops of blue and fuchsia, full enough to anchor a dinner table. Exact shades can shift with the season, and the florist may swap in a flower of equal or higher value to keep the bright colors. In the language of flowers, each color adds its own note, with red often tied to love, yellow to joy and orange to enthusiasm. For more mixes, browse mixed bouquets.

Colorful bouquet questions

Are rainbow flowers real?

Rainbow roses are real roses, usually white ones dyed by drawing colored water up through split stems so each petal takes a different shade. The two bouquets here get their color a simpler way, by gathering differently colored blooms together in one vase.

What is a mixed bouquet called?

Florists usually call it a mixed or assorted bouquet, and a loose, natural-looking one is often described as garden style. A multicolor bouquet of one flower, such as assorted roses, is typically named for the flower. You can also shop single-color roses.

What color combinations work in a colorful bouquet?

Warm groups like red, orange and yellow feel energetic, while pink, purple and blue feel cooler and calmer. A little white or green between bold shades gives the eye a rest, which is why white hydrangeas and greenery show up in so many bright mixes.
