White flowers are known for representing purity: types of white flowers and their significance

White flowers are a timeless bloom that may brighten anyone’s day. But have you ever thought about what they mean?

Nothing looks fresher than a bouquet of white flowers! Flowers will appear gorgeous and vibrant in any area, whether they are on your dining table, on your living room windowsill or your bedside table. Every flower and colour has its symbolic meaning. Come, let's check out the meanings of different white flowers and when to send them.

What do white flowers represent?

Purity

For generations, white has been associated with purity, which is why brides typically wore white gowns on their wedding day. People in the Victorian era would send white flowers to express their honest and pure intentions to be loved ones.

Cleanliness

Because it has no hue, white is arguably the most neutral colour you can get. Overall, it represents perfection and cleanliness! When you come into a hospital and see the pure white walls, flooring and furniture, you immediately assume the environment is clean and antiseptic.

Innocence

Because white is supposed to be pristine and free of stains or imperfections, it is seen as a symbol of innocence. That is why white flowers are used to decorate a room for religious rituals such as weddings or baptisms; to symbolise the innocence of the occasion and the persons involved.

Types of white flowers

White Orchids

Orchids, in our opinion, are a must-have in any home. And white orchids instantly provide that popular clean, smart and minimal style.

White lilies

They are a total treat with their particular smell that will fill a whole space. They are excellent for displaying in a hallway so you can see them the moment you walk in the door.

White roses

White roses are always our favourite, even though the queen of hearts may not be a fan! White roses are always a lovely option and are ideal for the Christmas season as well as for spring and summer house freshening.

White gerbera daisies

White gerbera daisies are among the cheeriest flowers available and are guaranteed to make someone smile. These flowers exude charm and look stunning in any home. They remind me of sunny summer days spent outside. They are also considered birth flowers for April, so sending white gerbera daises to any April baby will be a big hit!

Although white flowers lack the benefit of striking colour to draw the eye, this does not imply that they are any less significant in the language of flower gifting.
