What kind of flowers to give to a newborn baby?

You have decided to give flowers but… you still don’t know which flowers? The most suitable flowers for the birth of a child are the ones you can find in the following colors: pink, white, and blue. The white ones represent purity and innocence, and there is nothing more innocent and pure than a baby! Pink flowers are more appropriate for girls and blue for boys.  Regarding the types of flowers to give, we recommend the following:

• Roses: Roses are the queens of the garden and you can find them in different colors. A nice composition of roses in an appropriate color can be the perfect gift.
• Orchids: White orchids are another ideal option for the birth of a baby. They are elegant flowers that bring naturalness and that by themselves are capable of filling the hearts of both parents.
• Nards: You can also find nards in different colors, even blue. You can’t go wrong with this gift!
• Chrysanthemums: chrysanthemums are a symbol of nobility and in the right color they are very appropriate. You can also combine them with other products.
• Hydrangeas: they are flowers that provide a lot of volume and, in addition, are perfect to combine with other flowers. You can find them in different pastel shades and they are ideal as a gift at births!
• Gardenias: Giving gardenias at a birth symbolises purity and joy, reflecting the baby’s innocence with their delicate white flowers.
• Carnations: The traditional flower of the Mediterranean that you can give in different colors. By themselves, they will create a voluminous and fresh bouquet worthy of a new life.

From Verdissimo we encourage you to try giving away floral compositions made with preserved products because they will be a lasting present since they maintain their beauty over time without the need for maintenance.

What color of flowers is given in a birth?

Did you know that each color has a different meaning? That’s why there are colors suitable for occasions like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries… and others suitable for births.

To know which colors to choose for a birth, you have to understand the symbolism of the main colors:

• White: symbolizes purity.
• Yellow: symbolizes joy.
• Blue: symbolizes calmness.
• Pink: symbolizes innocence and femininity.
• Violet: symbolizes spirituality.

Among all these, which color would you choose? We love white flowers for births, mainly because there is nothing purer than a newborn. However, you can also create a combination of white and yellow flowers, as yellow will add joy to the arrangement.

Pink flowers can be an option, especially if you want to convey femininity. As we mentioned before, it is also the color of innocence, so it can be a great idea for some births.
