3 Lucky Flowers for Good Fortune this Chinese New Year

Now that the new year is finally here, it only means one thing — Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Come the 22nd of January, Chinese New Year is the perfect time to reconnect with friends and family, and come together to exchange well wishes. Seen as the most important holiday for those who celebrate it, is it not only an opportunity to honour ancestors and traditions but also a great way to welcome a new beginning and wish for good fortune in the upcoming year. While it is customary for friends and family members to give red envelopes during this holiday, flowers are also often gifted as a symbol of appreciation and gratitude. But as we all know, flowers innately have their own special meanings attached to them. This means that giving your loved one any random floral gift box or flower bouquets you find in online shops in Singapore might not necessarily be traditional symbols of luck, prosperity, joy and spiritual growth. But fret not! Here at The Interior Collections, we have compiled a list of the top three flowers to gift that will be the perfect token of love that just might also spread good fortune to your recipients as you usher in a new year on a high note with them.

1. Peonies

Peonies are a symbol of wealth, honour, and luck in many cultures. In China, for example, they are known as the "king of flowers" and are often used in traditional wedding arrangements. In Feng Shui, these fluffy pink flowers are thought to symbolise new love and the revival of a relationship, due to their ability to enhance love and romance. 

In the language of flowers, peonies symbolise luck, prosperity, happiness, love, and good fortune. As such, they make great floral gifts during Chinese New Year. If you are looking to give these perfectly lucky flowers to a loved one, consider our Blush flower bouquet that consists of fresh peonies, tulips, roses, matthiola and fillers.

2. Orchids

Orchids are known for their elegant and delicate beauty. But more than that, they have a rich history of symbolism and meaning. In terms of Feng Shui, they are known to activate positive chi energy and are said to have the ability to increase the levels of happiness within a space while fostering good relationships between family members. In many other cultures, orchids are also associated with love, beauty, and fertility. Often seen as a symbol of strength and resilience due to their ability to thrive in a variety of environments, these rare and delicate beauties perfectly represent strength and determination. 

Believed to bring good luck and prosperity, these exotic and elegant blooms which have long been associated with fertility, wealth, luxury and good fortune make great gifts or can even be displayed in your home. If you are looking to add a touch of elegance to your flower bouquet, and bring positive energy and good luck to your recipient’s life, check out our Charm flower bouquet that features fresh white orchids amongst other florals.

3. Lilies

Ever heard of the Chinese proverb, "When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other”? Known to be one of the most calming, peaceful, and happy flowers ever to exist, this stunning beauty also has a long history of cultural and religious significance. In many cultures, lilies are associated with good fortune and blessings and generally symbolises purity, innocence, and the restoration of life. Often associated with fertility, lilies are also often given as gifts to celebrate new beginnings or to wish someone luck in their endeavours. 

If you are looking to gift these beautiful and fragrant flowers to a loved one to bring a touch of beauty and positivity to their life, consider our Classy flower bouquet that comes with a bunch of fresh white calla lilies.
