For a June birthday, summer flowers are especially sweet. Just because it’s hot outside, doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy beautiful blooms inside. Office flowers are an instant mood changer, and summer flowers never fail to do the trick!

So how do you send flowers for a June birthday?

The official birthday flower for June is the rose. This is the best choice for this month, roses are always a favorite! Below are examples of beautiful rose arrangements you can send from your local florist.

(Simply click an arrangement above and add a sending zip code. Flower Shop Network will connect you to a real local florist to send the order. It’s that simple!)

If roses aren’t your style, choose flowers in June’s birthstone color — Alexandrite or light pink. Flowers in these color schemes include: gladiolus, roses, snapdragons, gerbera daisies, tulips and more.

There are also specific colors depending on the birthday week your friend was born.

May 25th – June 3rd – Cream

June 4th – June 13th – Grey

June 14th – June 23rd – Maroon

June 25th – July 4th – Red

You can use any one of these, together with aquamarine, to create a personalized March birthday flower arrangement that is sure to please any March baby.

Don’t forget a great birthday card message!

ALEXANDRITE PINK FLOWERS

June’s favorite flower color is Alexandrite pink. This year, we are spotlighting unique flower colors for you to use in custom flower arrangements, wedding bouquets, centerpieces and anywhere else you might need great-looking flowers. To make the chosen colors a little more interesting, we are starting with birthstone colors. Last month’s was emerald green, and this month it’s Alexandrite, or light pink. (Click here for all of our color of the month posts)

The most sensational feature of the Alexandrite gemstone is its surprising ability to change its color. Purpleish in daylight, Alexandrite turns a soft shade of pink, purplish-pink or raspberry red in incandescent light. This unique optical characteristic makes it one of the most valuable gemstones of all, especially in fine qualities.

When creating your wedding bouquet,

When creating a color scheme using Alexandrite pink, use the color wheel as your guide! Above you see three examples. The first is the complementary color of Alexandrite pink — pale green, which is sure to bring out the subtle tones of the pink. The second is a triad (3) of color complements to light pink. Soft yellows and pale aquas make the perfect pastel combination. You could also go with split-complement colors, meaning the two adjacent colors to the complementary color. So Alexandrite pink mixed with light green and pale aqua.

This is a great flower guide for brides looking for unique color palettes and unusual flowers for their wedding. Continue reading “Alexandrite – Light Pink Flower Guide” »
