Baby's Breath
FillerAll seasons
Baby's breath bears countless tiny white blooms, small as millet grains, at the tips of threadlike branches — until it looks like mist. Tied alone it becomes a cloudlike bouquet; tucked beside other flowers, it becomes the backdrop that frames the star.
The story of its meaning
Baby's Breath means "A clear, pure heart" — exactly the clean impression its dustlike white flowers give. The way it quietly fills the spaces between showier blooms is often read as pure devotion, too.

Pairing tips
An all-purpose filler that suits any main. Contrast beside Red Roses, tone-on-tone beside White Lilies — a neutral material, it fills out a bouquet's density without ever upsetting the color harmony.
