3 Reasons Why Pink Flowers Are So Popular
It’s time to once again visit our floral rainbow , this time focusing on the colour pink.
If I could choose only one colour flower to have for the rest of my life, without a doubt I would choose pink. And it turns out I’m not the only one who feels this way, as pink is one the most popular colour choices for fresh flowers. Here are three reasons why we love pink flowers:
Pink is seen as a positive colour: Pink represents compassion, nurturing, affection, and admiration. And depending on whether the flowers are light pink or bright pink they create a different mood or emotion.
Soft pink flowers have a gentleness and daintiness to them that creates a sense of calm and serenity. A great place to have light pink flowers is in the bedroom where they add a feeling of peace and tranquility.
Bright pink flowers are strong and dramatic creating a feeling of energy. If you want to be more motivated and productive at work, make sure you have some bright pink flowers on your desk.
A large variety of flowers come in the colour pink: Pink flowers are also popular because there’s such a wide variety of pink flowers they’re always available. The choices are almost endless. I couldn’t possibly list them all here, but these are my suggestions for ones I think you might like.
Roses, alstroemeria, gerbera, lilies, carnations, chrysanthemums, snapdragons, gladioli, tulips, sweet peas, ranunculus, hydrangea, peonies, and dahlias.
Pink flowers look great on their own, or mixed with other flowers: The versatility pink flowers have is yet another reason why they’re so popular. A monochromatic arrangement always looks great, but it’s also fun to mix pink flowers with other colours. But here’s something to keep in mind: not only do pink flowers come in light and bright shades, they also come in warm and cool hues. The success of how your overall arrangement looks will partly be based on what you pair together.
Warm pinks have a tint of yellow. Think of peach, salmon or coral. Warm pinks look great paired with orange or yellow flowers.
Cool pinks have a tint of blue. Think of fuchsia or hot pink. Cool pinks look great paired with purple or blue flowers.
To create the most cohesive look, use either all warm hues or all cool hues in your arrangement.
Top designing tip: To create an arrangement with a natural, balanced look leave the stems of the lighter coloured flowers longer than the brighter coloured flowers. Having the brighter shades lower will anchor your arrangement, while the lighter colours higher up will create an airy feeling.
My favourite pink flowers are tulips and sweet peas in a soft pink. What are your favourite pink flowers and do you prefer them in a light or bright shade?
