Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossom

FillerSpring

The cherry blossom is spring's very symbol: it covers whole trees in bloom for one brief season, then scatters like snow. It joins a bouquet branch and all, dotted with small blossoms — carrying with it the very air of a spring day spent standing under the trees.

The story of its meaning

The Cherry Blossom Branch means "A pure heart". Its brief peak — blooming in full, then falling without regret — was read as unadorned sincerity. In Japan it is loved through hanami, the blossom viewing; in Korea, through the festivals of spring.

Meanings by color

When to gift it

It suits a Spring Picnic bouquet, or the first gift between lovers whose story begins in spring. Hand the season itself to someone setting out in springtime — a new school, a new term.

Pairing tips

A branch material, it draws natural lines through a bouquet. Add Pink Tulips and Sweet Pea to complete spring's pastels, or Baby's Breath to make the cloud of blossom fuller still.
