Every year on October 10, World Mental Health Day reminds us how important it is to slow down, check in, and care for our emotional well-being, both our own and others’.
And while there are many ways to show support, few gestures speak as softly and sincerely as 'thinking of you' flowers.
We’ve seen it countless times in our Irvine and Lake Forest shops, a simple bouquet can turn someone’s day around. Flowers have a proven impact on mental health, helping reduce stress and anxiety while boosting happiness and connection.
Their colors, scents, and natural beauty gently shift the atmosphere, whether at home, work, or bedside.
How Flowers Help Lift the Mood
Soft pink roses and peonies bring calm and comfort. Sunflowers radiate optimism and energy. Lavender and eucalyptus promote relaxation, perfect for winding down after a busy day. Each bloom tells a story of care and presence, something everyone needs a little more of.
We’ve had customers tell us that receiving a surprise bouquet during a rough week was exactly what they needed. It’s amazing how something so simple can spark lightness and help someone feel seen.
A Thoughtful Way to Support Loved Ones
This October, consider sending flowers to someone who could use a reminder that they’re not alone, a friend, a colleague, or even yourself. It doesn’t take much to make a difference.
Many of our regulars even sign up for flower subscriptions, keeping that gentle lift of color and joy blooming all month long.
Let’s use this World Mental Health Day to spread a little more kindness, one bouquet at a time.
