Fresh Wholesale Carnations - Colored Carnations


The scientific name for carnation is “dianthus” which roughly translates as “flower of the gods” or “flower of love.” With a name like this, it is no surprise that carnations are popular wedding flowers. Carnations sport a ruffled, full appearance that provides depth and interest to any bouquet. Choose large carnations for a bold, dramatic look, or mini carnations to introduce subtle sprays of excitement throughout the arrangement. Available in a wide range of colors, carnations will surely match your color scheme and infuse your bouquet with life.

Carnations are the most popular flowers for school fundraisers, usually on Valentine's Day. Their beautiful appearance combined with their low price makes them ideal for fundraisers.

 

Carnations are favored by florists and flower lovers because of their delicate appearance and their long life span.  In clean water, colored carnations can live up to 21 days.  Because they can live for a considerably lengthy period of time, carnations are ideal for floral arrangements- they spread good cheer and happiness long after the event is over.  Likewise, carnation bouquets can bring a smile to one’s face long after they received the bouquet. 

Pink carnations were among the first to be discovered, and have maintained their popularity despite the emergence of more uniquely colored carnations.  Pink carnations are popular Valentine’s Day flowers, either mixed with roses or as lush bouquets all on their own.  The delicate shade of pink carnations looks delightful when mixed with brighter pink flowers such as hot pink roses and is a beautiful complement to other lightly colored flowers such as green hydrangeas. 

Red carnations are also ideal for Valentine’s Day bouquets, as their robust color and wild, fire-like shape is representative of passion and love.  White carnations, in contrast, represent purity and innocence, and can be used to reflect feelings of a flirtation or budding romance.  Taken together, the contrast of colored carnations creates a vibrant carnation flower arrangement that is perfect for events from weddings to fundraising dinners and anything in between.

Carnation flowers are artistic, impressive and affordable, which is another reason why they have remained popular throughout the years.  Whether you choose colored carnations or a monochromatic carnation flower arrangement for a gift or event, your guests and recipients will love how carnation flowers can make a statement without saying a word.
