It’s well-known that flowers improve happiness; from receiving them in the post to seeing them on your desk, at Bunches we know that bright blossoms can make your day in so many ways. But it isn’t just the flowers themselves that make us happy – colours play a key part in how you feel!

According to the London Image Institute, colour theory makes links between colours and emotions. Warm colours like red and yellow can bring feelings of happiness and passion, while cool colours such as blue and green are calming. Let’s have look at the feelings flowers may bring:

• Yellow is famous for making us feel happy, but is also associated with joy, communication, and creativity. Why not send some happiness with our Sweet Sunshine Letterbox flowers?

• Orange means success, excitement, and pleasure, which we at Bunches think is best shown with the Secret Garden bouquet.

• Red has long been associated with love, passion, energy, and anger (although we hope that isn’t something you feel when looking at Bunches’ blooms!). For a long-lasting, sustainable option, why not consider the Ruby Red Dried Posy?

• Pink is linked to love, innocence, compassion and optimism, which we think is well-captured by our Pink Parfait Letterbox blooms.

• Purple is a luxurious colour which our minds associate with relaxation, imagination, and ambition. Damson Delight is a gorgeous gift to go with these lovely feelings.

• Blue makes us feel calm, serenity, peace, and trust. A popular choice for this is our Blue Moon bouquet.

• Green comes to our minds when we think of serenity, joy, balance, and healing. This Pinstripe Calathea is the perfect potted plant to send these sentiments to someone you love.

• White is linked with comfort, calmness, simplicity and hope. Consider our elegant Peace Lily to match this mood.

• Brown makes us feel comfort, resilience, and dependable. Although it isn’t a popular colour choice for flowers, our wide selection of hampers and letterbox gifts can provide comfort with their eco-friendly brown boxes and the tasty treats inside!

Of course, at the end of the day, you know best what will make your loved ones happy; yellow may usually spark joy, but if purple is their favourite colour, then that will be the best choice!
