Make the art of flower symbolism your jam with our fun guide to selecting the right blooms for the job! Whether you’re saying thank you with a sly smirk to your parents because they didn’t ground you (this time) on Mother’s and Father’s Day, showing legit admiration for your sweet grandparents on Grandparent’s Day, or humorously pointing out why you’re everyone’s favorite on Siblings Day (only teasing!), flowers are a fantastic way to say everything you’re feeling. At Griffins Floral Designs & Wineshop in Columbus, Ohio, we’ve got all the details on which stems knock it out of the park every time.

Send Love & Gratitude to Your Parents

Celebrating your parents and letting them know you appreciate all their sacrifices? We love to see it! We also recommend choosing roses and peonies to do it right as they’re literally symbols of love. For an extra sweet gesture, include gorgeous ranunculus, long-lasting lilies, and swanky peach blooms to express your thanks. No matter if it’s some special day or you’re simply feeling the love, these flowers will say, “Mom and Dad, you’re legit the best!”

Show Your Respect & Admiration for Grandparents

When you’re shopping for blooms for your grandparents, go for pure class with orchids and irises; they add a sophisticated splash of color and beauty to the arrangement. Or, if you want to lean into a springtime vibe, daffodils are low-key perfect for spreading that sunny cheer. And purple asters? They’re the crown jewels, perfect for showing your grandparents they’re basically royalty. These flowers are a great way to express respect, admiration, and love to your sweet gramps and grannies.

Celebrate the Cheerfulness & Wisdom of Aunts & Uncles

For those super cool aunts and uncles who never fail to impress, choose a bouquet that’s full of as much charm as they are! Opt for indigo blooms like delphinium, iris, anemone, and thistle; these stems are a perfect way to honor all that wise life advice they’ve been giving you since forever. And, because they bring joy and laughter to the party, add lively yellow stems and tropical blooms like birds of paradise to match their sparkling personalities.

Thank Siblings & Cousins for Their Friendship & Strength

Need to show your siblings and cousins they’re appreciated for always being there? Surprise them with a sweet bouquet that’s as awesome as they are. Start with snapdragons and chrysanthemums, symbolizing their ability to stand strong through anything. Add in vibrant yellow blooms and pretty alstroemeria as a nod to the years of solid friendship. Polish it off with some eucalyptus for that fresh, cool vibe. Trust, this bouquet high-key celebrates the strength and friendship of your closest crew!

Spread Peace & Positivity to Your Chosen Fam

Give props to your chosen fam — those friends who feel a hundred percent like siblings and soulmates. Treat them with a colorful bouquet that serves peace and love. Deck it out with the boldest hydrangeas and sunflowers, flowers that beam with a bright yet calm energy that’s sure to zhuzh up any design. Accent with some cheerful gerbera daisies for a happy pop. These stems are your way of saying, “Thanks for the zen vibes you always bring,” and yes, we’re feeling it!

Family is the best; they’re your first friends and lifelong crew. Showing them love with a stunning arrangement of flowers from Griffins Floral Designs & Wineshop is the perfect way to say, “Thanks for being my rock.” Let us help you put together something that’ll genuinely hit different.
