Choosing the perfect words to celebrate your favourite family members is cool, but have you tried expressing your feelings with the vibrant language of flower colours? We always thank our sweet mom on Mother’s Day and give our awesome dad props on Father’s Day. We also give our fab grandparents petals on Grandparent’s Day. Folks who are next level spread joy to their siblings and chosen family — and of course, we’d do anything for our adorable fur babies! At Ital Florist in Toronto, Ontario, we’ve got all the tips on how to use colour to serve love and happiness with beautiful blooms.

Pink Petals for Moms & Grandmoms

Pink is such a timeless colour, especially when it comes to flowers, and we can’t get enough of it! Whether you’re saying “thank you” to your grandmothers and mothers or going for a heartfelt “I love you,” pink does the job beautifully. Carnations are perfect — they’re symbols of a mom’s unlimited love and affection for her kids. Or go super classic with pink roses, which express admiration and appreciation. And let’s not forget luxe peonies — they bring good luck to everyone who receives them.

Purple Blooms for Dads & Granddads

What words pop into your head when you think of your amazing dads and grandpas? How about regal and dignified? Purple flowers are the perfect fit, then — they serve royal and majestic energy. Irises symbolize wisdom and courage, making them an excellent choice to make him feel 100 percent honoured. Or, you could go old-school with lilacs, which have one of the most heavenly fragrances. For a tropical touch, consider orchids, which are the epitome of nobility and are bound to impress.

Green & Blue Flowers for Brothers & Honorary Bros

Flowers have a magical way of instantly creating a serene atmosphere, especially when they’re blue or green. These colours also symbolize loyalty and dependability — traits our brothers, be they honorary or blood, definitely embody. Say thank you with blooming blue hydrangeas for a chill vibe accented with the wild charm of blue thistle. Add some bold green chrysanthemums to celebrate your friendship and show your appreciation for their trustworthiness.

Peach Stems for Sisters & Honorary Sis

IYKYK: Having sisters or besties who are basically sisters is one of life’s greatest gifts. Let your super special sis know she’s the absolute best with some peach flowers — they’re totally in right now and will definitely bring a smile to her face. If she’s into classic blossoms, fresh tulips are an awesome option — those timeless beauties. To celebrate your treasured bond, alstroemeria is a great choice, or surprise her with ranunculus and their gorgeous, layered petals.

Orange & White Flowers for Your Furry Fam

Pets bring us so much joy — they’re loyal, adorable, and totally have our hearts. So why not surprise them with a fresh bouquet of orange and white flowers? These colours stand for happiness, excitement, purity, and innocence. (FYI, be sure the stems you select are safe for pets!) White snapdragons are perfect — they stand tall and have a shape unique to the floral world. They look amazing with orange gerbera daisies, which we love. What a sweet way to show your fur baby how much you adore them!

With this guidance from Ital Florist, you can effortlessly send the perfect floral message to your fave family members. Each colour tells a story — make sure yours is filled with love, appreciation, and all the right feels.
