Have you ever received a bunch of flowers and felt truly elated, excited and happy? Do you feel delighted and incredibly grateful too? Well most people feel that way when they receive a beautiful bunch and there are actual scientific reasons behind why we feel this way when we get flowers. Here’s a particular study that we found super interesting that you can read here!
But long story short…
Flowers have been scientifically proven to make people happy. From boosting your mood or lowering stress, there’s nothing quite like a bouquet of colourful blooms to elevate your space – and your mood. More than half of the beauty is because of the blushing blossoms in countless hues.
Essentially, when you receive flowers it gives you a connection to nature and takes you out of your fast-paced environment for a while, giving you a sense of peace can calm. But it’s not just the actual flowers; the colours make you happy too. This is done through a process called colour therapy which is all about harnessing the power of colours to fire up your emotions. So, there’s no doubt that flowers are a great gift for any occasion. No matter what your struggles are, flowers are always there to act as great mood-lifters and make things pleasant by their mere presence. And we aren’t just saying that cause we’re a florist, but all of us here in the Happy Bunch team truly find happiness in blooms, which makes us even more excited to share these joys with you.
