Graduation is an important life event. Your graduate could be graduating from high-school, college, or even graduate school (my son, when younger, once referred to this as gradual school. Out of the mouths of babes and innocents, eh?), and you want to acknowledge this important transition. Flowers are always appropriate, but what are the right flowers for graduation?

Rest assured, whatever message you want to send to your graduate, you can send it with a careful choice of flowers. Flowers traditionally given to graduates are often, by tradition, a mix of both subtle and vibrant colors. We heartily recommend an exuberant and boldly-colored well done bouquet, or if your graduate has done particularly well, and you want to make a splash, try the honor roll bouquet, in bright yellow and royal purple. Same day delivery is available from our recommended online florist for both of these items.

If your graduate is a young woman, and you’d like to take things up a notch, you really can’t go wrong with pink flowers, since they symbolize happiness. And let’s face it, graduation is a very happy occasion and a perfect reason to give your graduate a gorgeous pink lily bouquet to make the occasion, and to let her know how proud you are of her.
