Celebrate Their Achievement with School Colors!

Your child’s college graduation is a huge milestone, and you want to celebrate it perfectly! As a mom, you've been there every step of the way, from late-night study sessions to cheering them on at games. Now it’s time to show your pride with a thoughtful gift that reflects their hard work and school spirit. What better way to do that than with graduation flowers in their college colors?

Choosing the right flowers can feel overwhelming, especially when you want them to be meaningful and impressive. Forget the generic grocery store bouquets! We're here to guide you through selecting the perfect blooms that capture the essence of their school pride and academic success.

Why School Colors Matter

Flowers in school colors aren't just pretty; they’re a vibrant symbol of your graduate's journey and achievements. These colors represent school traditions, camaraderie, and the countless memories made during their college years. Giving flowers that match these colors shows you understand and appreciate their unique experience.

Plus, let's be honest, Mom-to-Mom... those school colors are going to look fantastic in all the graduation photos!

Top Flower Choices by Color

Roses: A Classic Choice with a Colorful Twist

Roses are timeless and elegant, making them a fantastic option for graduation flowers. While red roses symbolize love, you can choose roses in various colors to match the school's palette. For example, yellow roses are perfect for schools with gold or yellow in their colors, symbolizing friendship and new beginnings. If the school colors are red and white, a mixed bouquet of red and white roses creates a stunning and sophisticated arrangement. Expect to pay around $80-$150 for a beautiful rose bouquet.

Carnations: Budget-Friendly and Versatile

Carnations are a cost-effective yet beautiful choice, perfect for creating volume and texture in a bouquet. They come in a wide array of colors, making it easy to match almost any school's colors. For a school with blue and white, consider a mix of white carnations with delphinium for that touch of blue. These can be a great choice if you’re looking to stay within a $50-$100 budget without sacrificing visual appeal. Plus, they're surprisingly long-lasting!

Orchids: Elegant and Exotic

For a touch of luxury and sophistication, orchids are an excellent choice. While they might be a bit pricier (ranging from $100-$200+), their unique beauty and long-lasting nature make them a worthwhile investment. Phalaenopsis orchids, with their delicate petals and graceful stems, can be found in white, purple, and even dyed shades to match specific school colors. A single stem or a small arrangement of orchids can make a powerful statement. If your graduate is having a party, check out our tips for graduation party flower decorations for other great ideas.

Sunflowers: Cheerful and Bright

If the school colors include yellow or gold, sunflowers are a no-brainer. These cheerful blooms symbolize adoration, loyalty, and longevity – perfect sentiments for a graduate embarking on a new chapter. Sunflowers are also relatively affordable and can brighten up any space. A sunflower bouquet can range from $60-$120, depending on the size and additional flowers included.

Presentation Matters: Make It Personal

The way you present the flowers can elevate the gift even further. Consider adding a ribbon in the school colors or including a small personalized note. You could write a heartfelt message about how proud you are of their accomplishments or share a funny memory from their college years. These small touches make the gift even more meaningful.

Timing is Everything: Order in Advance

Graduation season is a busy time for florists, so it’s essential to order your flowers in advance to ensure you get the best selection and timely delivery. Aim to place your order at least one to two weeks before the graduation ceremony. This gives the florist ample time to create a stunning arrangement that perfectly matches the school colors and your preferences.

Caring for Graduation Flowers: Keep Them Fresh

To ensure the flowers last as long as possible, provide your graduate with some simple care instructions. Trim the stems at an angle, remove any leaves below the waterline, and change the water every one to two days. Keep the flowers in a cool location away from direct sunlight and drafts. With proper care, graduation flowers can last for up to a week, serving as a beautiful reminder of their accomplishments.

Consider a Graduation Gift Basket

If you want to go beyond just flowers, consider adding a graduation gift basket. Include items that your graduate can use as they start their next chapter, such as a personalized journal, a high-quality pen, or a gift certificate to their favorite coffee shop. Pair this with a smaller, yet elegant, flower arrangement to really make it special. Plus, a little caffeine might be exactly what they need as they start their job search!
