International color expert Leatrice Eiseman, who has earned international
acclaim for her five book titles, including Colors for Your Every Mood and
The Color Answer Book, has unearthed the philosophy of Flower Therapy.
Eiseman believes that certain color combinations � easily expressed in
floral arrangements - can stimulate and relax the senses, release happy
memories and enhance our moods.


The following are Eiseman�s five emotional color palettes that are
expressed through color combinations in floral arrangements and
the flowers that bring them to life:

 
 


�An artful floral arrangement has the ability to convey a feeling or create
a mood without using words, just color.�
~~Leatrice Eiseman

Nurturing:  A true sense of caring is created by a
combination of colors that are fragile, soft and
tender.  Arrangements in pastel shades and soft
colors make us feel safe, snug and loved.
Examples:  Tulip, Rose and Freesia in soft,pastel
shades.  Perfect for a new mom or sick loved one.
~~ Anyone who would benefit from a loving embrace
.

Romantic:  A sensation of intimacy, nostalgia and
comfort is captured in this color palette.  Warm
colors such as delicate pinks and lavenders make
this arrangement perfect. 
Examples:  Gerberas,lilacs, sweetpeas, peonies,
among others.
~~ These flowers express loving sentiments to
mothers, sisters and brides-to-be.

Sensuous:  Rich, luxurious color combinations of the
sensuous palette set the mood for sophisticated,
passionate and even seductive settings.  Robust reds
 and purples (even hot pinks) are at the soul of this
dynamic floral feeling.
Examples:  Roses, carnations and Lilies.
~~  A sensuous arrangement is taylor made for a special
evening or elegant dinner party.  Anywhere you want to
feel elegant and extravagant.
Tranquil:  Serenity and relaxation are the essence of
this color scheme. Its peaceful palette, reminiscent of
sky and sea, is dominated by clear, light shades of green,
misty blues and other cool hues. A vase of tranquility is
perfect for busy moms, harried professionals and those
who seek a moment of calm from life�s stressful situations.
Examples:  Hydrangea, larkspur and pussy willow.
~~  A vase of tranquility is perfect for busy moms, harried
professionals and those who seek a moment of calm from life�s stressful situations.
 
Whimsical:  Fun-loving, free-spirited, playful feelings are
conveyed by the whimsical palette, which is characterized by bold, contrasting colors.
Examples:  Alstromeria, Kermit pompoms and Ranunculus.
~~ Set an upbeat tone, ideal for birthdays, graduations,
promotions and other celebrations with this fun color palette.
