“Ordered from them at 3pm on a Thursday for delivery on Friday. The order was exactly as it looked online, and delivery was prompt with no issues what so ever. My mom was excited to receive her flowers on her retirement day, and I was excited that Forest of Flowers took care of her and made her day even better. Thank you! Highly recommend. Very easy process for anyone”
“I have sent flowers to my Mom & friends work a couple times now and the bouquets have been flawless every time.

“I've shopped at this flower shop for several yrs and have followed up with the recipients of my gifts. Everyone was very happy with their arrangements. My latest purchase was for the funeral of a dear friend. What a beautiful arrangement. Thank you to all who work here.”
While there’s no official retirement flower (flower symbolism goes way back, long before retirement parties were a thing), there are many blooms that beautifully express the feelings behind this special occasion: new beginnings, heartfelt thanks, deep admiration, and best wishes for the future. Here’s why we’ve handpicked the following flowers for our retirement bouquets and arrangements.
Roses are always a classic, and certain colours make perfect sense as a retirement gift. Pink roses express gratitude, appreciation, and admiration, which says ‘thank you’ for the recipient’s years of service. Yellow roses symbolize friendship and joy, celebrating the special bonds you share as a ‘work family’. But honestly, a rose of any colour instantly makes a bouquet stand out, showing the recipient they’re truly special.
With a history of symbolism spanning nearly 2,000 years, carnations are full of meaning. White carnations represent pure love and good luck, while light red ones show admiration. Adding carnations to a retirement bouquet is a beautiful way to tell your coworker that they’re loved and respected, and that you wish them the very best in their future endeavors.
You’ll spot lilies throughout our retirement collection, from brightly coloured Asiatic lilies to elegant white lilies. Lilies are show-stopping blooms that look stunning in any arrangement. Asiatic lilies, in particular, are associated with life, energy, wealth, and prosperity, which are wonderful sentiments to send to a retiring coworker as they set off on their next adventure.
What could be more cheerful than a daisy? These sunny blooms are all about new beginnings, making them a perfect symbol for retirement. We adore daisies and include them in many of our flower arrangements for their vibrant colours and the positive energy they bring.
Symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings, daffodils are lovely way to celebrate a coworker taking the big leap into retirement. Daffodils offer a bright and optimistic send-off.
Let our professional designers hand-craft a stunning arrangement of our freshest seasonal flowers. Our Florist’s Choice Daily Deal allows you to personalize your gift based on colour and flower type for the perfect retirement send-off. Or, choose from a variety of carefully crafted arrangement options filled with the best retirement flowers. Dish Gardens such as our “Tropical Planter” and “Anthurium Planter” make for a gorgeous and long-lasting decor piece, guaranteed to stay fresh with minimal upkeep. Bouquets such as “Enchantment” and the “Cool Blue Hydrangea and Lily Arrangement" come in stunning and timeless vases, making them a beautiful gift for any retiree.
Brightly coloured arrangements make for fantastic flowers for a retirement party as they symbolize excitement for what’s to come. Vivid orange and yellow blooms can be found in the “Gorgeous Gem Tones” and “Sunshine Surprise” arrangements to represent respect, compassion, and joy. These retirement flowers are an excellent choice to showcase your admiration for a dedicated and fulfilling career. To take your gift to the next level, consider adding celebratory balloons, a box of chocolates, or a congratulatory card.
Saying goodbye to your work family is tough. Show your soon-to-be retiree extra love and support beyond the retirement party with a Fresh Flower Subscription! It’s a thoughtful way to send a regular reminder of your appreciation, long after they’ve left the office. Choose from weekly, bi-weekly (every other week), or monthly deliveries for 3 months, 6 months, or a full year.
Every hand-tied bouquet is created with care, using the freshest seasonal blooms, and is sure to brighten their new chapter.
