International Women’s Day will soon arrive on March 8th! It’s our annual nod to incredible women worldwide, celebrating their wins and taking a moment to reflect on the challenges that are still out there. It’s the day we honor the women who’ve been guiding stars in our lives, those who’ve paved the way for us to chase our dreams and live our best lives. Think about the women and allies in your life, the communities that have shaped you, motivated you, and kept you going even when you felt like hurkle-durkling for the whole day. IWD is also painted in colors that are rich in meaning: deep purple for justice, lively green for hope, and pure white for new beginnings. It’s also the perfect colorway for a springtime bouquet that expresses your gratitude and optimism for what lies ahead. At Flair Floral, the best flower shop in South Shore, we’re here to celebrate extraordinary women, allies, and even yourself with your favorite fresh blooms.

Roses

Picking out the right roses to celebrate IWD can effortlessly spread messages of love in all it’s forms. From admiration and gratitude to friendship and excitement for the future, roses have so much to say thanks to their wide array of colors. An obvious combo for IWD is purple, green, and white, but don’t limit yourself to the basics. Get creative and look towards roses that blossom in dark pinks, exuberant oranges, trendy peaches, and mellow yellows for a warm, happy, and relaxing vibe that expresses your sincerity.

Tulips

As winter makes its way out the door and we welcome the sunnier and warmer days of spring, IWD enters that chat alongside tulips — both bringing hope and a fresh start or new beginnings. With a splash of color, tulips are undoubtedly celebratory blooms! Gifting a bunch of tulips to a friend, family member, or mentor is a fun and chic way to honor their achievement and acknowledge the bright future ahead. Dive into the endless hues and varieties of tulips to create a bouquet that mirrors the diverse beauty and amazing spirit of those you admire.

Gerbera Daisies

Gerbera daisies are the epitome of a good mood. Their vibrant petals are like a shot of joy, optimism, and cheer straight to the heart, making them a flawless choice for an IWD celebration. As if you weren’t already convinced, gerbera daisies are also a symbol of purity, reflecting the pure intentions of IWD and the remarkable feats of women and allies.

Peonies

Experience the quiet luxury and full opulent blooms of peonies this IWD. These flowers radiate prosperity and endurance, much like the women we admire and look up to — those advocating for impactful change and leading by example. With an impressive vase life, peonies represent resilience as well as luck, happiness, and good fortune. They’re a gift of support and encouragement for any woman in your life, keeping that fire burning and their momentum going.

Orchids

Orchids have this fantastic quality of growing and blooming in a multitude of shapes and colors, each one steeped in its own meaning. Their modern tropical charm makes them universally appealing, capturing the hearts of a diverse crowd — not limited to the fantastic women and allies honored on IWD. So, whether you’re embracing a contemporary design or expressing gratitude with grace, orchids are an iconic choice.

Mimosa Flower

Mimosa flowers, symbolizing sensitivity and sensibility, have been the quintessential emblem of IWD for decades — since 1946 to be exact. They exude a coziness reminiscent of daisies and favorite accent stems, including wax flowers, goldenrod, alstroemeria, and gold aster. These warm, yellow flowers transform any springtime arrangement into a celebration of joy and sisterhood, echoing the powerful values of friendship and trust.

Flair Floral is helping you turn IWD into an occasion that’s both profoundly meaningful and aesthetically beautiful with the freshest blooms and symbolic arrangements.
