Behind the Meaning: The Language of Flowers Collection

Living in a time with communication readily accessible at the tip of our fingers it’s hard to imagine a world in which you can’t say what you want to say when you want to say it. If we take a look back just a little over a hundred years ago there were certain things that needed to be left unsaid. During the reign of Queen Victoria, British citizens were expected to uphold standards that deemed some conversations inappropriate. Meaning that you were not free to openly flirt with your crush and you couldn’t tag your bestie in relatable memes.
 
These strict social standards lead to the popularization of floriography, the language of flowers. Even though flowers have had meanings associated with them for centuries, it was during the Victorian era that the general public was let in on the secret with the publication of flower dictionaries.
 
While it’s wonderful to be able to say what’s on our mind and in our hearts whenever we please there’s something to be said for the magic of the unspoken message. In honor of these special messages, we’ve created the Language of Flowers Collection.
