White Flowers

White Flowers, Hand-Tied in Cape Town Since 1999

White is the most versatile colour in the flower world. It carries romance and sympathy, celebration and quiet comfort all at once, which is why our Claremont florists arrange more white blooms than almost any other shade. Below you will find hand-tied white bouquets, vase arrangements and single-stem statements, each cut fresh on the morning it is sent and finished with a free handwritten card. Here is how to choose the right white flower for your moment.

White Roses for Romance and Remembrance

Few blooms say as much with so little as a white rose. They carry both new love and heartfelt sympathy, which makes them one of our most requested flowers all year round. The Pure Snow Rose Bouquet and the White Oasis Rose Bouquet are two of our favourites, while the Classic White Bouquet and Pure Elegance Bouquet mix roses with soft complementary blooms. For deeper colour, browse our full range of roses and red roses, or read our guide to wedding flower symbolism to help you choose.

White Lilies and Their Gentle Fragrance

White lilies are the scent of ceremony. Their trumpet blooms open slowly and fill a room with fragrance, which is why they are loved for both sympathy tributes and celebrations. The Lush Lily Flower Bouquet, Lily Bouquet and St Joseph Lily Flower Arrangement show them at their best. Explore every stem in our dedicated white lilies collection, and see which blooms made our list of the world's best smelling flowers.

White Orchids and Sculptural Vase Arrangements

For something more architectural, white orchids bring a modern, sculptural calm to any room. Pair them with our White Purity Vase Arrangement or the serene Tranquility Flower Arrangement, made to sit beautifully on a bedside table. Discover the full range in our orchids collection, and keep blooms lasting longer with our guide to caring for flowers in a vase.

A White Flowers Bouquet for Weddings and New Babies

White is the colour of fresh beginnings. For a christening or a new arrival, the gentle Baby Girl Gift and Baby Boy Gift pair soft blooms with a keepsake, while our Angelic Flower Crown and Elegant White Bouquet are made for flower girls and blushing brides. Our florists have gathered plenty of ideas in the best baby gift ideas and the power of flowers. You can also send a hand-tied White Delight Posy or browse all our flower bouquets and posies.

White Flowers for Sympathy and Quiet Comfort

When words are hard to find, white flowers speak gently on your behalf. The Heavenly Grace White Wreath offers a dignified tribute, and our sympathy flowers and funeral flowers collections are arranged with the same care. If you are writing a condolence note, our condolence messages guide can help you find the right words.
