White Orchid Bouquet “Innocence, Purity & Hope”

Description

Orchids have a reputation for being symbols of fertility and elegance, different colored orchids have a diverse range of symbolisms. Out of all orchids, the white orchid meaning has been something that people have long had strong opinions on. Orchids were always highly prized because of their rarity and beauty. However the color-coded associations that they developed had broader cultural connotations. Thus, the white orchid meaning is heavily drawn from the characteristics generally associated with that color. These are:

• Innocence
• Purity
• Hope
• Reverence
• Refinement

As they were also so expensive, they became a popular gift upon the birth of a child, for those who also wanted to show off a bit. For the Victorians in England,  the white orchid was seen as a sign of wealth, and in Japan, it was particularly treasured by royalty.
