by Helen Marie Fish on August 19, 2024

Kindness is one of the most underrated qualities, so when someone is particularly supportive to us, it’s natural to want to show we’ve noticed.

Whatever you’re feeling thankful for, flowers remain one of the best ways to show your gratitude. Their colour, beauty and scents bring joy to people’s lives at any time of year. Instead of just sending a card, it’s a poignant way to show just how much their actions meant to you.

Giving flowers as a way of thanks is a tradition that has spanned centuries and transcends cultures.

In fact, it’s a tradition that can be traced back to ancient times. Did you know that in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, flowers were often associated with the gods? They were therefore used in religious ceremonies as offerings of thanks or devotion. Flowers were believed to carry divine significance, so giving them was seen as a way to express reverence and gratitude.

In the mediaeval age, the symbolic use of flowers deepened.

The practice of giving flowers as a form of communication blossomed during this period. The language of flowers, or floriography, emerged, where specific flowers carried particular meanings. This was especially popular in the Victorian era when the exchange of flowers became a nuanced and coded form of communication.

Each bloom, colour, and arrangement had its own significance, allowing individuals to convey messages that might have been too bold or inappropriate to express in words.

During the Victorian era, the practice of floriography reached its peak in the UK.

People would often give small bouquets, known as tussie-mussies or nosegays, to express sentiments of love, sorrow or gratitude. The choice of flowers in these arrangements was critical, since different flowers symbolise different emotions. For example, the white lily was a symbol of purity, while the red rose represented passionate love.

When used as a thank-you gift, people tended to select flowers like the pink carnations, which symbolise gratitude and appreciation.

The tradition of giving thank-you flowers in Britain is one which continues to endure.

Whether you give someone a simple bouquet of daisies or a more elaborate arrangement of roses and lilies, it can make them feel valued. No matter if it’s a colleague, friend or relative, a bouquet of flowers will brighten up even the most mundane day.

The symbolism of flowers has a rich history, with each flower carrying specific connotations. You might want to discuss the message you want to convey with our florists in West Yorkshire.

For instance, chrysanthemums are often associated with friendship and well-wishing, making them a popular choice for thank-you gifts.

Similarly, sunflowers, which symbolise adoration and loyalty, are another favourite for expressing gratitude. The choice of flower can also be influenced by the season, with daffodils in spring, roses in summer, and chrysanthemums in autumn each carrying their own seasonal significance.

While traditional flower symbolism remains important, Amaryllis Floral Design can also personalise and help select flowers based on your personal preferences or the specific occasion. We make it easy to take a more creative approach to flower giving. Perhaps you want to give less traditional flowers or create bespoke arrangements that reflect their unique relationship with the recipient.

Show your thanks in a special way.

In today’s fast-paced world, where much communication is done via email or text, giving flowers as a gesture that people remember.

You’re giving them a moment of beauty and thoughtfulness that can be cherished long after the flowers have faded. Many people like to take photos of your flowers at their best, so they will remember your kindness in difficult times. In other words, unlike sending a text message of thanks, it’s a gift that reverberates long afterwards.

Giving flowers as a thank-you gesture is not just limited to family and friends.

We appreciate it’s a common practice at work, where flowers might be given to colleagues, clients or employees as a token of appreciation for their hard work or support. We can help you find flowers which express your gratitude in a way that words alone cannot fully capture.
