Mother's Day Carnation Colors?
Question:I was wondering if anyone knew what the colors symbolize. On Mother's Day we plan on handing out carnations at our restaurant and do not want to offend anyone if handed the wrong color. Or does it even matter?
Answers:
my mother likes yellow
i think their pink or white and it mean appreciation and love. I don't think any of the mom's would be mad. I think they will love ya for it!
Traditionally, a person wears a white carnation on
Mother's Day in memory of their mother who has died.
Colored carnations are worn by people honoring their
mother who is alive. Since you cannot be sure whose
mother is dead or alive, just don't have any white ones.
Red if the mother is still alive, white if deceased. Ask the customer if they want white or red, don't ask if their mother is dead.
