5 Great Carnations by Post Occasions

Celebrating a New Baby Born in January

The arrival of a new baby is a joyous occasion, and what better way to celebrate than with a bouquet of beautiful carnations?

As previously mentioned, carnations in January are particularly special, as they are the birth flowers for this month, making them extra significant.

Pink carnations, symbolising a mother's undying love, are perfect for a baby girl, while light blue ones celebrate a baby boy.

These flowers not only add a splash of colour but also represent new beginnings and pure love, which make them ideal when welcoming a new life into the world.

Anniversaries

While roses are often seen as the go to choice when showcasing love for someone, carnations are growing in popularity as an exciting alternative.

These flowers are seen as a symbol of love and fascination, making them an excellent choice for anniversaries.

Each milestone year has its colour, red carnations for passionate love in the early years, white for the purity and loyalty in a maturing relationship, and deep red for a love that has withstood the test of time.

It is always worthwhile doing a check to see which colour is right for your year, especially when celebrating a big milestone.

Sending a bouquet of these flowers by post can rekindle the romance and show enduring affection.

Graduations

A graduation is a pivotal moment in one's life, marking the achievement of academic goals and the start of a new chapter.

Brightly coloured carnations can symbolise pride and success.

Opt for a mix of vibrant colours like yellow, orange, and pink to represent the joy and optimism of this occasion.

These bright colours are also ideal for creating a celebratory mood, which should always be present at events like this.

Sending these as a surprise by post can be a wonderful way to show your support and congratulations.

Mother's Day

Carnations and Mother's Day have a historical connection, with the tradition dating back to the early 20th century.

Pink carnations are traditionally given to motherly figures as they signify the undying love between a mother figure and their child.

White carnations are often chosen to honour a mother who is no longer with us.

This Mother's Day (which is coming up soon so don't forget to preorder your bouquet today), sending a bouquet of carnations by post can be a heartfelt way to express gratitude and love for the mother figure in your life, no matter the distance between you.

Get Well Soon Messages

Bright and cheerful, carnations are the perfect flowers to send for a 'get well soon' message.

The uplifting colours of yellow or mixed pastel carnations can bring a smile and a sense of warmth to the recipient, offering them comfort and positive vibes during their recovery.

When someone is feeling unwell or has been going through a hard time and simply needs a bit of a pick me up, surprising them with a delightful bouquet of bright and beautiful carnations is a great way to help lift their spirits and make them feel better.
