Expert Florist Advice On The Best Thanksgiving Flowers As Gifts
Thanksgiving is a great time to show appreciation to those who brighten our lives—whether it’s family, friends, or loved ones. While it’s mainly celebrated in the U.S., more people in Malaysia are embracing it too. If you’re looking for a way to say ‘thank you’ this Thanksgiving, why not choose flowers? In this article, I’ll explain why flowers are such a meaningful gift, and how, as the best flower shop, White On White can help you find the perfect bouquet for someone special.
The Power of Flowers: A Universal Language of Gratitude
Flowers have been used for centuries to convey emotions and sentiments that words often cannot express. When you give Thanksgiving flowers, you’re not just offering a beautiful bouquet—you’re sending a message of love, appreciation, and respect. As our founder, Mr. Thong Weng Seng, always says, ‘Flowers are nature’s way of helping us speak from the heart, especially when words aren’t enough.’
Studies show that flowers can uplift moods and reduce stress, making them the perfect gift for a season of gratitude. In fact, the American Society of Florists reports that nearly 80% of people said receiving flowers made them feel special and appreciated. This is especially meaningful during Thanksgiving, a holiday centered on showing thanks to those who have positively impacted our lives. Whether it’s your family, a friend, a colleague, or even your host for Thanksgiving dinner, flowers are a heartfelt and meaningful way to say ‘thank you.’
Thanksgiving Flowers: The Perfect Gift for Any Occasion
In Malaysia, Thanksgiving may not be a national holiday, but more and more people are finding their own special ways to celebrate—whether it’s a cozy dinner at home or a festive gathering with friends. Gifting flowers has become a popular tradition, as the country embraces more diverse holiday celebrations.
When you order Thanksgiving flowers for delivery, you’re doing more than just giving a gift—you’re adding a personal touch that makes the moment even more meaningful.
Imagine surprising a friend in Penang with a beautiful autumn-themed bouquet to thank them for hosting a Thanksgiving dinner, or brightening your family’s home in Ipoh with a lovely arrangement. With Thanksgiving flower delivery, you can send your gratitude from anywhere in Malaysia, no matter the distance.
Don’t Give Just Any Flowers This Thanksgiving—Here’s What to Pick
When it comes to choosing the perfect Thanksgiving flowers, we want something that reflects the warmth, gratitude, and coziness of the season. Flowers not only add beauty to any space, but they can also carry meaningful symbolism. Let’s explore some classic flowers traditionally associated with Thanksgiving, and why they might just be the ideal way to show your appreciation
Chrysanthemums (Mums)
Let’s talk about chrysanthemums, or mums. These flowers are the true stars of autumn, known for their rich hues of deep reds, oranges, and yellows. In Malaysia, chrysanthemums are widely appreciated, especially for their vibrant colors, which evoke the feeling of cozy evenings and the warm hues of autumn. While it’s true that in Chinese culture, chrysanthemums, particularly white chrysanthemums, are often associated with condolence and remembrance, this association is not shared by all colors. Brightly colored chrysanthemums, like red, orange, and yellow, symbolize joy, friendship, and loyalty—making them an excellent choice for expressing gratitude, especially during Thanksgiving.
Sunflowers
Next up, sunflowers. These blooms are all about positivity and cheer. With their golden-yellow petals and big, friendly faces, sunflowers are the embodiment of gratitude and warmth. They’re not just flowers; they’re like little rays of sunshine. Did you know that sunflowers actually turn to face the sun as it moves across the sky? It’s like they’re always reaching for the light, just like the people in our lives who brighten our days.
Sending sunflowers to someone who’s made your year brighter (maybe a family member or a long-time friend) is a wonderful way to show your appreciation this Thanksgiving. They’re also great for a Thanksgiving table centerpiece—something that will instantly brighten up the room and make everyone smile.
Orange Roses
Now, let’s chat about orange roses—the unsung heroes of the rose family. While red roses are often seen as the symbol of love, orange roses carry a different kind of meaning. They symbolize warmth, enthusiasm, and appreciation. In fact, did you know that orange roses are often given as a symbol of gratitude and admiration for someone’s achievements? It’s a perfect way to acknowledge the hard work or kindness of someone special.
Picture this: You’re sending an orange rose bouquet to a colleague who helped you finish a big project or to a relative who always goes the extra mile for you. Orange roses say, “Thank you for all that you do,” and the vibrant color is sure to make anyone feel special and appreciated.
Marigolds
If you’re looking for something that screams autumn, marigolds are the perfect choice. With their bright, fiery orange and yellow tones, marigolds capture the essence of the harvest season. These flowers are often used in traditional harvest celebrations because they represent warmth, creativity, and vitality.
Fun fact: Marigolds are known to have natural insect-repelling properties, which is why they’re often planted in gardens to help keep pests away—talk about a flower with a purpose! Think of marigolds as the perfect pick for someone who brings that warmth and energy to your life—maybe an aunt who always throws the best family gatherings or a friend who’s always there to lend a helping hand. They’ll appreciate the thoughtfulness behind these cheerful blooms.
Gerbera Daisies
Last but definitely not least, we have gerbera daisies. These flowers are full of life—bright, bold, and happy. Their cheerful, vibrant colors like orange, red, and yellow are perfect for celebrating the joy and happiness that come with Thanksgiving.
Gerbera daisies are actually one of the most popular flowers in the world, ranking among the top five cut flowers used in floral arrangements! They symbolize beauty, appreciation, and happiness, making them ideal for friends or family members who brighten your days. If you’ve got someone in your life who just radiates positivity (maybe a sibling or a close friend), gerbera daisies are the perfect way to show them how much you value their uplifting presence in your life.
