Spring floral trend: tulips

Spring is in the air and popping up from the ground. Tulips, considered a herald of the new season, are one of the first flowers to bloom.

We’re beginning to see tulips everywhere - in fashion, design, and (of course) gift-giving. Simplicity is big trend this year, and what better way to convey simple elegance than with tulips?

We love tulips because they symbolize the return of warm weather and a breath of life from Winter’s grasp. They make the perfect gift because of the energy and warmth they convey, and they come in a rainbow of colors. From light pinks and warm oranges, to deep purples and vibrant yellows, there really is a tulip for any color palette.

To say happy birthday, to send a wish to get well soon, to convey sympathy, or say congratulations, or just because, tulips are the gift you can’t go wrong with.
