What floral bouquet is best to choose when I want to send sympathy flowers? How do I choose the perfect floral arrangement? These questions asked by individuals and companies who want to send messages of love and remembrance to someone mourning a loss are answered often by the floral designers at Adele Rae Florists. Floral bouquets and flower arrangement sent to funeral homes in time for services or sympathy flowers sent to a residence after the cemetery or memorial services express a great deal between the sender and the recipient.

Both flowers and plants are appropriate to send as expressions of caring and connection to community support when choosing sympathy flowers.

What you send can reflect what the person who passed valued and loved. Here are a few ideas on how you can personalize the sympathy flowers and message you send:

• 1)Elements of nature such as foliage, branches and natural materials to remember the person who loved being active outdoors
• 2)Plants or dish gardens are long lasting and can represent someone’s love of gardens
• 3)Floral bouquets or flower arrangements for the beauty of it in favourite colours or blooms

Colour choices in sympathy flowers can be influenced by culture or by the personality of the lost friend.

While white blooms and soft colours are often the choice for sympathy flowers, bolder colours also appear in floral arrangements. Italian tradition, as one example, includes red, white and green flowers like the national flag. Other cultures favour sympathy flowers in white and purple.

The Burnaby-based florist’s online and in-shop choices of fresh cut flowers, bouquets and floral arrangements as well as distinctive ceramic dish gardens with easy care and long lasting plants offer a suitable choice for any expression of sympathy. Read what a flower’s colour represent here.
