Romantic White

In the Western World the colour white is synonymous with purity and innocence.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, choose beautiful white roses. Whilst a single red rose is used to say “I love you”, white roses represent unity, virtue and the pureness of a new love. As a symbol for young love and new beginnings, white roses are frequently seen in bridal bouquets. White roses are also used to symbolise honour and reverence – making them the most perfect Valentine’s Day flowers.

The colour white provides clarity and a pureness in all things. A calm white background filled with beautiful flickering candlelight will create the most relaxed, contented mood.

White is wholeness and completion – white is not stark, but true and absolute. White helps to aid mental clarity, encouraging us to clear clutter or barriers. White evokes purification of both thoughts and actions and really does facilitate fresh beginnings.

White is the colour for all seasons – both inside and out. A snowy winter contrasts pristine snow covered landscapes with a snuggly white interior. February sees the romantic aspects of white come into their own around Valentine’s Day, and Spring brings on fresh new life; with bright, airy, positive notions.
