Pink and purple roses are excellent choices for expressing a crush, conveying a message of admiration and infatuation without being as intense as red roses which symbolize passionate love. Red roses, while representing love, might be considered too strong a statement early in a budding relationship. Therefore, a more subtle approach with pink or purple roses is often preferred.
Choosing the Right Color
The color of flowers can significantly impact the message conveyed. Here's a breakdown of color options:
-

Red Roses: While undeniably romantic, red roses are associated with deep love and passion. These might be too intense for expressing a crush, especially in the early stages.

Other Options: Bouquets with a mix of colors, such as those featuring berry tones (e.g., mums, roses, snapdragons), can be a joyful and appropriate alternative. The "Orange Crush" bouquet, for example, utilizes vibrant colors to communicate enthusiasm and joy. (Flowers by Coley)
Beyond Color: Consider the Flower Type
