Many people mistakenly believe that the meaning of yellow flowers is separation or betrayal. But in reality they do not carry any negativity. And florists all over the world create the most beautiful bouquets of yellow flowers. You can learn about what they mean and what message they carry from a whole branch of science - fluorography, which reveals the language of flowers.
The history of fluorography
The original idea of sending messages using flowers originated in the countries of the East. Not only the shade of the buds mattered, but also their number and the way the bouquet was decorated. Later, these traditions were adopted by Europeans, and in the 17th century special dictionaries were created that interpreted the flower language. Having come to Russia, this language acquired its own meaning, “absorbing” national characteristics.
It is noteworthy that in different countries the same flower could symbolize completely opposite phenomena. For example, the lily in ancient Rome meant wealth and success, but in Egypt they decorated the bodies of dead girls. In France, lilies symbolized the power of kings and the strength of their power, and in Germany they were considered the flowers of suicides.
So how do you determine the true message in a bouquet and the meaning of yellow flowers when interpretations vary so much? Not only the meanings adopted by individual countries are of great importance, but also the own associations of the person or group of people to which he belongs.
What flowers should I use?
Of course, the main element when creating a bouquet is flowers. They personify a special cheerfulness and inner strength. With the help of flowers you can express certain thoughts by choosing the right composition.
- Roses are the most popular flower, most often used to create wedding accessories. Roses are rich in their assortment. It would seem that one flower cannot have such different species characteristics. These include dwarf yellow roses, classic lush buds, and lace flowers. All this refers to one plant. As a result, thanks to the large assortment, it is possible to create an original composition. Dwarf roses will emphasize the tenderness, beauty and sophistication of the bride’s image. The classic version will add rigor and elegance in detail. Lace flowers will create a certain charm and a special note of intrigue. The bride in this look will turn out to be a flirtatious person who prefers romantic ruffles to strict flounces.
- Mimosa is one of the flowers that is not usually used for weddings. In a mono bouquet, mimosa looks quite simple. But if you add it to wildflowers, it will take on a special color. At the same time, mimosa will become the center of such a color composition. With the help of the main plant on March 8, you can express the sensuality, vulnerability, and femininity of a girl. This is exactly the flower that is associated with a good mother, a faithful wife and a devoted friend. By choosing this option, a woman tries on all the roles, trying to match the ideal qualities of the fair half of humanity.
- Tulips are a truly spring flower that absolutely all women love. This is the plant that creates a rather dual image. By pulling a large bouquet of tulips with a thread, you can look, on the one hand, elegant, sophisticated and even strict. But on the other hand, the choice of tulips will speak about the romantic soul of the young lady. Tulips are good because they can stand for quite a long time. When creating a flower arrangement, newly opened inflorescences are used.
- Sunflower is an original and creative option that is suitable for organizing a summer wedding. It will look ideal for outdoor registration. It turns out that the bouquet seemed to have just been picked from the fields. In this case, the brightest and sunniest petals of the plant are used.

What do yellow flowers say?
If you believe fluorography, the yellow color of flowers does not symbolize the extinction of previously burning feelings. Quite the contrary, it is customary to give them when the relationship becomes stable. And the love of a man who presented such a bouquet to his woman can be described as strong, coming from the very heart.
During the time of Catherine II, there was a whole “Register of Flowers”. The meaning of yellow flowers in it was this: sun, warmth, sharp mind. It is not without reason that such bouquets are often chosen as gifts by optimistic people with a strong character who are not afraid of life’s difficulties.
In Japan, such yellow compositions are given when people want to wish well to the recipient. There this color is a symbol of light. It is also loved in the UK, because due to constant cloudiness there is a lack of sunlight there. The main meaning of yellow flowers is goodness, warmth, wealth and success.
How to arrange a bouquet?
There are several possible color options for decorating a wedding composition. They are repelled by the image you desire.
The very first and no less popular option is a mono-bouquet in a single color. For example, a sunny and rich yellow shade is used, with which the entire composition is created.
This image is laconic, strict and at the same time festive. It is ideal for minimalist style weddings. You will only have two colors - yellow and white. At the same time, yellow exists only in the form of a wedding accessory, thereby the bride emphasizes her romantic mood and a particularly colorful image.
In addition to the yellow tint, it is worth adding other color combinations to the bouquet:
- blue;
- red;
- violet;
- blue;
- any pastel shade.
A composition made in contrasting colors looks best. On the one hand, it is a bright and rich yellow, and on the other, an energy-filled blue color. In this combination, yellow can stand out as the main shade, or be just a light addition that creates a special mood.
Daffodils
Strict flowers with a straight stem and their delicate, fragrant buds evoke a feeling of homeliness and tranquility. Their petals symbolize respect, attention, willingness to help, and care. A person who receives a bouquet of daffodils can interpret this as a compliment - the giver considers it a symbol of solar warmth, the personification of light and a state of comfort.
