This blog will be talking about the story behind gifting yellow flowers for friendship day as well as a brief mention of when Friendship Day came about and how.
Why do Flowers Matter?
To grasp why yellow flowers are often chosen for Friendship Day, it’s crucial to recognize the underlying reasons we give flowers at all. Essentially, flowers hold deep meaning and significance. Each type of flower has different meanings, and has a specific quality to it. Through these floral gifts, emotions are expressed such as joy.
So send greeting cards that express your feelings; and you can have fun doing it! The Natural Friendship Day was originated in 1919 by the Hallmark company. It was meant to be an occasion where you and your friends could trade cards wishing each other a happy friendship day; sadly by the year 1940 this idea completely dried out. Next, in 1998, at the UN, the character Winnie the Pooh became the Representative of Friendship around the world. In 2011, the month of April, the UN officially acknowledged this special day. In 1998, Winnie the Pooh was named the global Ambassador of Friendship by the UN. Originally, this was celebrated on July 30th, though many countries now observe it on the first of August each year.
Friendship Day has evolved beyond simply exchanging cards; people now give their friends various gifts, ranging from flowers to desserts.
Meaning behind Yellow Florals?
The yellow rose became the official symbol for the friendship day. This flower means different emotions like happiness, and friendship for instance.
Yellow lifts the spirits of people. It’s a striking color that is linked to warmth for instance. Yellow is a vibrant color that often evokes the feeling of sunshine.
Yellow is also a very zen color and is a very happy color. Gifting these flowers for friends who love self care and appreciate those quiet moments for themselves, these yellow flowers are right for them.
Unlike pink and red flowers, which symbolize passion and love, yellow flowers are associated with Friendship Day in much the same way red roses are linked to Valentine’s Day.
Which Flowers to Give on Frienship day?
There are many bright, sunny flowers perfect for gifting, such as sunflowers, which convey emotions like happiness and admiration.
You can give this flower to your friends for different reasons such as it’s a classic addition to your floral arrangement, whether it be be arranged on it’s own, or surrounded by different florals that complement sunflowers.
Yellow roses are another great choice. They can be beautifully arranged in a vase with orange and green accents, alongside flowers like freesia and spray roses, to create a stunning bouquet.
