Choosing the right flowers can often speak volumes; no words are needed!

(And hey, we can’t forget our furry little family members who capture our hearts!) Here at Beneva in Sarasota, Florida, we’re excited to share our top picks for fresh, colorful stems that honor your nearest and dearest.

Pink Petals for Moms & Grandmoms

Think of pink flowers as you would your go-to cozy blanket — they radiate gratitude and warmth. They’re just right for telling the incredible mothers and grandmothers in your life “Thank you so much” or “I love you beyond measure!” Sophisticated peonies are all about prosperity and good luck, while gorgeous pink roses express appreciation, admiration, and joy. And those adorable carnations? They famously symbolize a mom’s never-ending love for her children. Just perfect!

Purple Blooms for Dads & Granddads

There’s something so incredibly royal about purple flowers; they’re majestic and dignified, much like our father figures like dads and grandpas. They’re all about respect and admiration, making them an excellent pick. Purple orchids can bring a noble touch to his space, while lilacs have a sweet scent and a certain nostalgia. With their symbolism of wisdom and courage, irises make a statement that shows any dad that you’re his number one fan.

Green & Blue Flowers for Brothers & Honorary Bros

Green and blue stems evoke feelings of peace, calm, loyalty, and dependability — ideal for the brothers and buddies (who basically are your bros) who always have your back! For a super relaxing feel, opt for blue hydrangeas, which channel that energy perfectly. If you’re after something more vibrant, we suggest green chrysanthemums, reps of trust and friendship. Add accent blooms like blue thistle to complete the arrangement with a bit of rugged charm.

Peach Stems for Sisters & Honorary Sis

Peach flowers have a soft, nurturing vibe that make us feel happy and warm, similar to your bond with your sisters (either blood or honorary; we love both). The trending color also stands for sincerity and gratitude. For an extra sweet touch, choose plush ranunculus blooms with their layered, sumptuous look, or delicate alstroemeria (ambassadors of friendship) for a friendly, playful feel. If your sis prefers a classic style, she will adore a bouquet of pretty tulips.

Orange & White Flowers for Your Furry Fam

Celebrate your adorable pets with a lively mix of orange and white flowers, which invite joy, excitement, purity, and innocence — just like your furry friend! When putting together this bright bouquet, remember to choose pet-safe flowers. Orange gerbera daisies are perfect — they’re non-toxic and super vibrant. Complement them with white snapdragons, a second safe (and cute!) option. This delightful arrangement mirrors the love and happiness your pets bring into your home and heart.
