Colour Psychology: What Your Bouquet Says About You

Flowers have long been celebrated for their beauty and the joy they bring into our lives, but did you know that the colours of the flowers you choose can also reveal a lot about your personality and mood? At Clapham Flowers, we carefully craft our bouquets to not only be visually stunning but also to evoke specific emotions and atmospheres. In this post, we’ll explore the fascinating world of colour psychology in floristry, diving into what the colours in our bouquets say about you and how they can influence your mood and environment.

The Power of Colour in Floristry

Colour plays a crucial role in how we perceive the world around us. Each colour has its own unique wavelength, which can affect our emotions and behaviour in different ways. This is why certain colours are associated with specific moods or feelings. In floristry, the choice of colour in a bouquet is more than just an aesthetic decision; it’s a way to communicate and evoke particular emotions in the viewer. Let’s explore the colour palettes of some of our popular bouquets and what they might say about you.
