Pink is the colour we send more of than any other, and it covers far more ground than people expect — from a pale blush that reads almost white to a hot fuchsia that carries a room. Just over a hundred pink bouquets, boxes and baskets sit in this collection, and the pink you have in your head is almost certainly one of four quite different ones.
Pink Flower Bouquets: Four Shades, Four Different Gifts
Blush is the palest of them — garden roses, lisianthus, pale hydrangeas, a hint of cream running through. It reads soft and formal rather than romantic, which is why it is the pink of weddings, christenings and a hallway table. In low evening light it can look almost white, so if the flowers are going into a dark room, ask for a few deeper stems through it.
Baby pink is the one people search for by name, and it is not the same thing as blush: it is clean and cool, with no peach or apricot in it. It is the pink of a new baby, a first birthday and a girl’s christening, and it sits best with white and pale green rather than with anything warm. Our new baby flowers lean heavily on it.
Mid pink is the safe gift pink and the one most birthday bouquets are built on — warm enough to feel affectionate, quiet enough for someone you do not know well. If you are buying for a colleague, a neighbour or a friend’s mother, this is the pink to pick. Most of our birthday flowers live in this band.
Hot pink and fuchsia are loud and celebratory, and they read as fun rather than romantic. Spray roses, gerberas, cerise carnations and lisianthus carry this end of the range. Sent to an office or a party, a fuchsia pink bouquet is the one people photograph.
Which Flowers Give the Best Pink
Almost everything does, which is why the collection is this large — but the shade each one gives is quite different, and choosing the flower is really how you choose the pink. Roses and garden roses cover the whole span from blush to cerise and hold their colour longest. Peonies, in their short season, give the softest and most generous pink there is. Hydrangeas bring dusty, antique pinks and enough volume to build a whole arrangement around one head. Carnations are warm and slightly dusky and last longer in a vase than anything else on this page. Tulips give a clean, matte pink in spring, and chrysanthemums and lisianthus fill in everything between.
If you would rather not choose a single shade, our pink and white collection is the combination we are asked for second most often, and mixed bouquets put pink alongside cream, burgundy and green.
Pink Flower Delivery Across London and the UK
Order by 10 PM and we deliver pink flowers the same day across London and Greater London, seven days a week — Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, Fulham, Southwark, Islington, Canary Wharf and the surrounding areas. Orders placed after the cut-off go out the next morning. Pink flowers delivery to the rest of the UK takes two to three working days, and those arrangements travel upright with the stems in water rather than flat through a letterbox, so they arrive already arranged. Pink roses delivery is the single most requested version of this — if that is what you are after, the rose collection is the faster place to choose from.
Looking After Pink Flowers
Pink is the colour that shows age first: as the petals lose water the pigment goes papery and the edges brown before the flower actually wilts. Cut two centimetres off the stems at an angle, change the water every two days and keep the vase off a sunny windowsill and away from a bowl of fruit — ripening fruit gives off ethylene, and pink roses in particular blow open overnight next to it. Our vase-life table gives the realistic number of days for each of the flowers above, and the flower care guide covers the rest.
Pink Flowers — Questions We Are Asked
Which pink should I choose?
Think about the room as much as the person. Blush and baby pink are soft and formal and suit a wedding, a christening or an elegant hallway. Mid pink is the safest gift pink. Hot pink and fuchsia read as fun rather than romantic and work for a party or an office. If in doubt, ask for blush with a few deeper stems through it; that combination almost never misses.
What is the difference between blush and baby pink?
Blush carries a little cream or peach in it and looks almost white in low light. Baby pink is cooler and cleaner, with no warmth at all, and holds its colour under electric light. They photograph very differently, which is why people who wanted one are sometimes disappointed by the other — if it matters, say which in the order notes and we will build to it.
Which flowers come in pink?
Roses and garden roses, peonies in season, hydrangeas, carnations, lisianthus, tulips, chrysanthemums, ranunculus and gerberas all give good pinks. A pink carnation is warm and dusky; a pink lisianthus is cool and papery; a pink hydrangea is dusty and antique. Same colour name, three completely different gifts.
Can I ask for pink and white together?
Yes, and it is the second most requested combination after pink on its own — pink and white roses, pink and white peonies in season, pink and white carnations. We keep a separate pink and white collection if you would rather choose from ready-made ones, and a white collection if you decide to drop the pink altogether.
Do you deliver pink flowers the same day in London?
Yes. Order by 10 PM and a pink bouquet goes out the same day across London and Greater London, seven days a week, including Sundays and bank holidays. Anything ordered after the cut-off is delivered the next day. If the flowers need to arrive within a particular window, put the time in the order notes and we will confirm it before we cut.
Can I send pink flowers outside London?
Yes — we send pink flowers to addresses across the rest of the UK, where delivery takes two to three working days. Those arrangements are set into water for the journey and arrive standing and already arranged rather than flat-packed, which is the main practical difference between us and a letterbox subscription.
How much is a pink flower bouquet?
Hand-tied pink bouquets start at £39, and a balloon set a little below that if you are adding to a gift rather than sending flowers on their own. The middle of the collection sits close to £140 — a full hand-tied bouquet or a boxed arrangement — and the largest statement pieces, a hundred and eighty spray roses among them, run past £1,000. Delivery is charged at the flat rate shown in your basket and is free once the order passes the free-delivery threshold.
What if the flowers arrive looking wrong?
Send us a photograph within three days at info@floritta.uk and we will replace the arrangement. It is worth checking first whether the stems simply need a fresh cut and cold water — roses that travelled in a warm car often look tired for an hour and then lift completely — but if something genuinely arrived damaged, we would rather send a new one than argue about it.
