Want to give flowers? Excellent idea ! It is a delicate attention that always pleases!
But before you rush to your favorite florist, know that all flowers have a meaning with their own symbolic language.
Depending on the message (love, joy, sadness…) that you want to convey, you will not choose the same flowers.
Did you know, for example, that yellow roses refer to infidelity? Oops... And that giving 12 red roses is a marriage proposal ?
So why not compose your bouquet of flowers according to what you want to say, as if you were writing a letter? To compose your message, discover the subtle language that flowers speak!
