It’s that time of year, and we’re so ready for it! The holidays are on the horizon (are you even ready?!), and your college crew’s heading home (stock up on snacks, stat). Maybe you’re busy planning epic celebrations — graduations, birthday parties, weddings, baby showers — you name it! Either way, gratitude season is in full effect. So, time to get your flower game going strong! Gorgeous bouquets and showstopping centerpieces? Yep, Flowers & Fancies in Owings Mills, Maryland has your back to help you show appreciation with sophistication and style.

Hydrangeas

When it comes to gratitude gifting, hydrangeas are our go-to bloom and you should totally hop on the bandwagon. Not only do they shout “thank you” but they also bring in those sincere, heartfelt feels that make your appreciation shine even brighter. Pro tip: Choosing the right color can really elevate the whole experience. Purple hydrangeas? They say “I admire you” in a way that’s seriously next-level. We’re obsessed!

Orchids

When you want to show strength, love, and beauty, orchids have it all on lock. These elegant blooms are like a love letter in flower form, radiating appreciation and admiration — making sure the recipient feels seen (we’re all about it!). Want to make it extra special? Go for purple orchids to show serious respect, or blue for a mindful touch — both are perfect for heartfelt moments. And let’s not forget, orchids are effortlessly posh, so your gesture will be strong and stylish.

Roses

Let’s be real, roses are the ultimate flower icon — beauty, fragrance, they’ve got it all. And they’re pros at saying “thank you” without even trying; just use their range of colors to get your message across! Yellow roses are all about celebrating friendship (ideal for so many moments), while pink roses keep things sweet and appreciative. Want to go big? A mixed bouquet proves you definitely understood the assignment.

Chrysanthemums

Mums are an easy pick for gratitude season, and it’s no wonder why: They’re totally tied to autumn (it’s when they bloom, after all), the time when we’re all about reflecting on what we’re thankful for. Plus, with those deep reds, rich oranges, pretty pinks, and vibrant yellows (colors that pop), their petals do all the talking. Symbolizing respect, friendship, and joy, chrysanthemums are perfect for showing sincere and deep appreciation.

Lilies

Lilies are wonderful for so many occasions — seriously, they last for a long time in a vase and always look fresh. If you’re trying to show sincere gratitude, they do it beautifully, especially when you add color meanings to the mix (surprise, surprise). Pink lilies bring the spirit of elegance and generosity (talk about perfect for your recipient). And yellow lilies? They’re all about happiness, health, and gratitude. Total win!

Flowers get the message across, 100 percent. But if you’re looking to really drive home your appreciation, Flowers & Fancies has symbolic blooms that speak so much louder than words.
