Flower Therapy

Whimsical
Fun-loving, free-spirited, playful feelings are conveyed by the whimsical palette, which is characterized by bold, contrasting colors. Floral arrangements featuring these hues set an upbeat tone and are ideal for birthdays, graduations, promotions and other celebrations.

Flower Therapy: Whimsical Palette

Flowers Featured
Professional florists call this casual garden style arrangement "vegetative" for duplicating nature as flowers would grow in a garden. Fuchsia stock, royal blue delphinium, yellow-orange spray roses, pink tulips, Italian ruscus and yellow-orange bell-like sarasonia ring out over golden-yellow mini gerberas, lime-green pompons and hot pink mini carnations.

Below are a few flower recommendations for each of the Whimsical palette colors. Call or visit a professional florist for even more flower options.
