What flowers bring good luck?
Is your beloved one embarking on a new chapter in their life? Do you want to bring them good fortune as they start their job, get married, or move into their first home? Then send them good luck flowers. Flowers aren't just for marking milestones and celebrations, they are believed to bring happiness, fortune and boost the chi at home. These claims are based on Feng Shui ancient stories, traditions, and symbolism. Below are 10 types of good luck flowers you should never miss!
Orchids
If you need more reason to love orchids and not just for their bright, colorful blooms and easy-to-maintain nature, you will be pleased to know that they symbolize fertility, beauty, and creativity. Many Feng Shui practitioners believe that gifting orchids to a relative trying to conceive or a loved one who has just miscarried would bring positive energy, hope, and healing to their lives. It would also enhance fertility by promoting harmony and balance in the home. Each color of an orchid represents a different form of good luck. For example, pink orchids represent fertility and virility. They are commonly used as wedding gifts and centerpieces to wish and bring newlyweds the fortune of bearing a healthy baby.

Hydrangea
Hydrangeas are lush, have full blooms, and symbolize gratitude, abundance and harmony. When your friend buys their first house, a great housewarming gift would be a bouquet of blue hydrangeas to promote peace and emotional well-being in their new home. The Feng Shui tradition attributes them to good fortune and emotional health. To welcome such prosperity and harmony into your work environment place a bouquet of pink hydrangeas at your office entrance.

Daffodils
Daffodils are the flowers used to signify new beginnings and prosperity. In New Year celebrations, a bouquet of these bright yellow blooms symbolizes wealth and happiness, perfect for bringing in positive vibes. Just remember, gifting a single daffodil is believed to bring bad luck, so always go for a bunch. Beyond New Year celebrations, they are the ideal gift to congratulate someone on a new job. They are also a great way to uplift a friend or family member during challenging times.
Peonies
Peonies, the flower of riches and honor, is the most sought-after flower for good luck. Brides would include them in wedding bouquets to attract a blissful and prosperous marriage, while homeowners place fresh peonies at the entrances of their homes to welcome success and prosperity. In Chinese culture, peonies imply wealth and high status. They also believe that it enhances career growth and financial success. Therefore, it is not unusual to see a painting or a potted peony plant in a workspace.

Carnations
Carnations are the flowers you gift to loved ones, celebrating milestones and new beginnings because many cultures associate them with success, prosperity, and happiness.

Sunflower
Some cultures believe sunflowers create a lucky and uplifting atmosphere because they radiate joy, optimism, and positive energy, key attributes for attracting good things. Sunflowers are also linked to wealth, financial success, and fortune. Farmers, for example, see them as a sign of bountiful harvest and growth, much like how a thriving business owner views profits. Gift a sunflower bouquet to a friend launching a startup or celebrating a promotion to encourage prosperity. You can also place a vase of sunflowers in your home office to spark motivation or keep one on your work desk to set a positive tone for productivity and success.

Lavender
Keep at the entrance of your home or office for luck and to dispel any negative energy as you go about your day. Long ago, people carried dried lavender to attract financial luck. Today, some business owners place lavender near cash registers for abundance. Apart from succeeding in business, some people claim lavender strengthens bonds and brings happiness to relationships. Others go as far as tucking a small sprig under their pillow for romantic dreams. You can opt for lavender oil if you do not want to carry fresh or dried flowers around. Pour a few drops on your wrist to attract good energy and prosperity.
Sweet Peas
Sweet Peas are magnets of good energy. Their potent, sweet fragrance is said to chase away antagonistic forces. Many cultures also think they can protect you and your family from bad luck and misfortune. They’re like nature’s little mood boosters, filling the air with a scent that instantly lifts your spirits. It's no wonder people love placing sweet peas near entryways or in bedrooms, where their fragrance can create a peaceful, feel-good atmosphere.
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are a beloved flower in many Asian cultures. For the Chinese, it represents a long and fortunate life. They would gift them during festivals and special occasions to wish friends and family good fortune. In Japan, chrysanthemums are the emperor and the imperial family crest. Historians believe that the flower was first adopted as the imperial family crest in the early Kamakura period(1185-1333) through the influence of Emperor Go-Toba(1183-98), who liked the floral design and often used it.
Marigold
Marigolds are symbols of remembrance, protection, and prosperity. During Diwali, people string marigold garlands across doorways to invite good fortune and ward off negativity, believing their bright orange and yellow hues attract positive energy. In Dia de los Muertos, families create ofrendas (altars) adorned with marigolds, their vibrant petals guiding the spirits of loved ones back home for a heartfelt reunion.
Beyond festivals, marigolds can be used in everyday rituals. If you're setting personal goals, try writing your wishes on paper and placing them beneath a marigold bloom as a symbolic gesture of growth and manifestation.
Occasions for sending good luck flowers
Life is filled with memorable moments like big job interviews, exams, and career-defining sports competitions. In such times, having flowers for good luck can help attract the positivity and fortune you or your loved one needs for success. Gifting flowers that are good luck also expresses your wishes, boosts the confidence of the recipient, and reminds them that they are not alone. Here are some more occasions where good luck flowers would be much appreciated.
Grand opening
The grand opening of a business or the launch of a product is a significant milestone for any business owner. If your friends or family fall into that category, send them a bouquet or an arrangement of sunflowers, peonies, and lilies to encourage them and wish them the best in their venture. These flowers are said to attract prosperity and success. Peonies are a well-known symbol of wealth and high status in Chinese culture. Keeping them at the place of business invites prosperity.
Exams and competitions
Preparing for an exam or competition is stressful for students and athletes. A thoughtful way to motivate and encourage them is to send a bouquet of sweet peas, lavender, or sunflowers. Sweet peas and lavender would chase away opposing forces intended to distract your loved one from their course. Sunflowers create a lucky and inviting atmosphere around them to attract favors. They are also great mood lifters.
Promotion
Every job promotion is a significant career change worth celebrating. Carnations, daffodils, and hydrangeas are the perfect flowers to convey admiration and congratulations while wishing the person continued success. They are excellent choices because they signify ambition, prosperity, and progression.
Life milestones
You can send a friend or relative a bouquet of lavender, marigolds, or hydrangeas as a housewarming gift to celebrate the milestone of owning their first home. Lavender brings peace and good fortune, while hydrangeas invite abundance and harmony into their new abode. Marigolds draw blessings and prevent misfortune from befalling your loved one.
Weddings
Weddings are a time of love, joy, and new beginnings. Sending a bouquet of orchids is a great way to wish the newlyweds good luck on their journey together. Orchids represent fertility, beauty, and virility. Many cultures believe they can cause a young married couple to bear healthy babies and enjoy peace and prosperity in their marriage.
Graduations
Graduations are proud moments that mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Flowers express your pride and admiration for the graduate's hard work. Carnations and peonies are excellent options because they symbolize success, happiness, and achievement.
New job
Gifting flowers to a loved one and starting a new job is a great way to boost their confidence to succeed in their new role. Flowers like chrysanthemums and sunflowers embody resilience, upward progression, and new beginnings. A bouquet in warm tones like orange and yellow can fill their first day with much-needed positivity and enthusiasm.
Recovery and wellness
Flowers like daisies, lavender, and carnations bring comfort and uplift the spirits of someone recovering from an illness or surgery. Daisies bring a lot of cheer to an already gloomy situation, lavender makes them feel more relaxed as they heal, and carnations express your heartfelt love and concern for their health and recovery.
Before a big trip or adventure
A thoughtful way to wish a friend safe travels and success as they travel for work, studies, or on a personal journey is to send them some bluebells, gladiolus, and daisies. These flowers represent strength, protection, and good luck. A small bouquet or a potted plant, such as a lucky bamboo, is a lasting reminder of your well wishes.
Tips for writing messages to accompany good luck flowers
Although good luck flowers are a perfect standalone gift, including a personal note makes things even more special and heartfelt. Here are some tips for writing messages to pair with flowers that bring good luck.
Keep it short and sweet.
A simple, uplifting message can be as powerful as a long one. Instead of going into a long monologue, go straight to the point and express your love and wishes in not more than three sentences.
Personalize it
Personalizations are effective when there is a story behind the occasion. For example, you can include all those pivotal moments that have led up to their big win if your loved one is finally graduating after repeated failures and setbacks. This would make the message more meaningful.
Maintain a positive tone.
Keep the message optimistic and uplifting. This is important, especially when the recipient is about to face a challenge like a job interview or a major exam. Remember that they are already nervous about the upcoming event and need all the support and encouragement they can get.
Sign off with warmth.
Close the message with a touching ending like ''sending you all my best'', ''I am here for you, always'' or ''can't wait to celebrate more wins with you'' instead of a generic one like ''best wishes''.
