Guide to Choosing Flowers for Your Loved One · Meaning of Color, Number and Message

Sending flowers to your loved one is the most elegant way to say what words cannot express. But each color, each number, and each type of flower carries a different meaning. Here's a Last Summer Florist guide to help you make the right choice.

1. Messages by Color

• Red rose: Passionate love, romantic commitment. The most classic choice.
• Pink rose: The beginning of a sweet love, admiration. Ideal for a first date.
• White rose / orchid: Purity, eternal commitment. Perfect for weddings and marriage proposals.
• Yellow rose: Friendship, joy. When you don't want to send a romantic message.
• Peach / coral tones: Warmth, appreciation. Says "being with you is wonderful."

2. Meaning of Flower Count

• 1 stem: "You are unique and special"
• 3 stems: "I love you"
• 9 stems: "Forever"
• 11 stems: "You are precious"
• 21 stems: "I am devoted to you"
• 25 stems: "Congratulations, celebrating you"
• 50 stems: "This love is unconditional"
• 99 or 101 stems: "Love of my life, marry me"

3. Choosing Flower Type by Meaning

• Romantic love: Anastasia red rose
• Gentle beginning: Pastel tulip or pink rose
• Luxurious and unique: White Phalaenopsis orchid
• Seasonal surprise: Florist's surprise selection

4. Message and QR Card

At Last Summer Florist, we include a handmade card with every arrangement and an optional QR code. When your loved one scans the QR code, they'll see your written note and, if you wish, a video message. This detail makes the flowers unforgettable.
