Choosing pink flowers

Blush, rose or hot pink

The shade shapes the message. Pale and blush pinks are often linked with gentleness, admiration and sympathy, while bright and hot pinks read as joy and celebration. Pink Petals layers blush gerbera daisies with deeper rose tones, lilies and bells of Ireland in a glass bowl, and Blushing Beauty Bouquet goes bold with hot pink roses, lavender carnations, blush pink lilies and hydrangea. When you mix colors, cool pinks pair well with purple and blue, and warm pinks with yellow, orange and deep red. For the softest end of the range, see our pastel flowers.

The pink blooms you'll see most

Roses appear in more than half of the 123 pink flower arrangements here, and Ultimate Pink Roses lets you send one, two or three dozen long stems. Lilies and carnations each show up in more than 25 designs, followed by gerbera daisies, hydrangea and alstroemeria. Six designs feature peonies, including Secret Garden Peony Bouquet, which mixes them with anemones, ranunculus and scabiosa. Peonies usually arrive partly closed and open over several days, and because their natural season is short, mostly late spring, the florist may swap in a flower of equal or higher value when they're scarce. Browse peonies on their own, or long-lasting carnations.

Mother's Day, new babies and sympathy

Pink is a favorite for moms. Marvelous Mom Bouquet pairs pink roses with purple Asiatic lilies, and Mother's Dream combines light pink roses, lavender carnations and purple stock. Mother's Day always falls on a Sunday, so pick Saturday or an earlier date, and see all our Mother's Day flowers. To welcome a baby girl, our Designer's Choice for the occasion lets the florist build around gentle pinks and warm whites. Pink has a quiet place at a funeral too: pink carnations are often tied to remembrance, and Timeless Traditions Pink Carnation Standing Spray pairs them with baby's breath on its own easel. Our pink and white sympathy flowers collect more.

Pink flower questions

What do pink flowers symbolize?

Pink flowers are generally linked with grace, gentleness, gratitude and admiration, though the exact meaning depends on the flower and the shade. Pink roses often say thank you, pink tulips suggest caring and good wishes, and pink peonies are tied to romance and good fortune.

What color flowers say I'm sorry?

There's no single apology color, but soft pink and white are common choices because they feel sincere rather than showy. Pink suggests warmth and affection, and white suggests peace. Deep red can read as romance, so save it for a partner and let the card do the explaining.

Which pink flowers last the longest?

Carnations, alstroemeria and chrysanthemums are among the longest-lasting cut flowers and often stay fresh well over a week with clean water. Roses and lilies usually last about a week. Peonies and tulips are lovely but shorter-lived, so a pink bouquet built on them is one to enjoy right away.

Will my pink bouquet look exactly like the photo?

Most designs come very close. Each design is arranged by hand, and pink varies naturally from blush to deep rose, so tones can shift a little. When a flower, color or container runs short, the florist can substitute one of equal or higher value while keeping the overall look.
