Do You Ever Feel Like Flowers Speak to You?
There’s something quietly captivating about tulips. They don’t shout for attention the way roses or sunflowers do—but instead, they seem to speak softly, with colour and form, like they’re gently whispering what you might be too shy to say yourself.
That’s exactly what we love most about working with tulips at Hello Flowers!.
Whether we’re preparing Birthday Bouquets, curating Get Well Soon Flowers, or handcrafting wedding bouquets, tulip bouquets always rise to the moment with grace.
From our years as florists, we’ve learnt that tulips aren’t just pretty—they’re purposeful.
And choosing the right tulip colour can turn a beautiful bouquet into something truly personal.
Here is everything we’ve learnt about picking the best tulip colours for every occasion.
Why Tulips Are Our Go-To for Any Occasion
Among all the flowers we’ve worked with, tulips are easily one of the most versatile.
They blend beautifully with almost any bouquet style, from cheerful mini bouquets for a birthday surprise to sophisticated bridal arrangements.
Their natural elegance and wide colour range make them ideal for both grand gestures and small, meaningful gifts.
And because tulips are grown in local and regional farms across seasons, we’re able to include them in our Same Day Flower Delivery in Singapore service—which many of our customers rely on when time is tight but intentions are heartfelt.
What Tulip Colours Mean—and Who They’re Perfect For
❤️ Red Tulips – Deep Love and Devotion
We often recommend red tulips to customers looking for an alternative to roses. They’re perfect for anniversaries, proposals, and romantic surprises. Their bold tone suits those with strong personalities and deep emotional ties.
💛 Yellow Tulips – Cheer, Positivity, and Recovery
There’s a reason we frequently include yellow tulips in our Get Well Soon Flowers. They exude joy and optimism. For friends who need encouragement or colleagues celebrating a win, yellow tulips are a golden choice.

🩷 Pink Tulips – Gratitude, Sweetness, and Affection
From Birthday Bouquets for mum to thank-you tokens for mentors, pink tulips are warm, gracious, and heartfelt. They pair wonderfully with baby's breath or white lisianthus for softness and grace.

💜 Purple Tulips – Creativity, Royalty, and Admiration
Purple tulips are bold and memorable. We’ve used them in graduation bouquets and farewell arrangements for artists, teachers, and team leaders who made an impact.
🧡 Orange Tulips – Enthusiasm and Confidence
Energetic and warm, orange tulips are brilliant for promotions, achievements, or simply brightening someone’s day. Their vibrancy speaks to bold, outgoing personalities.
Matching Tulips to the Occasion
Whether it’s a grand celebration or a subtle nudge of care, tulips are suited to it all. One customer recently told us that the pink tulips she received after surgery made her feel “seen”—and that’s exactly the impact these flowers can have.
For Birthdays
You can never go wrong with a colourful medley. We love creating Birthday Bouquets with bright mixes of yellow, pink, and purple tulips to reflect the joy of the day.
Mini Bouquets are popular too—especially for classroom or workplace surprises.

For Recovery
Yellow and white tulips are soothing yet sunny—ideal for hospital deliveries or post-operation recovery gifts.
And with our Same Day Flower Delivery in Singapore, you can send encouragement the moment you hear someone’s feeling under the weather.
We’ve also written about get well soon flowers if you’re unsure which colour tulip to choose.
For Weddings
We often suggest pale pink, blush, or white tulips for wedding bouquets.
They symbolise new beginnings and blend effortlessly with roses, ranunculus, and foliage for a full, romantic effect.

For Achievements
Purple and orange tulips are strong, proud colours. They’re often picked by customers celebrating graduations, job offers, or moving into a new home.
For Apologies or Just-Because
White or pink tulips in a hand-tied kraft wrap send a quiet, meaningful message—especially when you don’t know what words to use.
How We Arrange Tulips at Hello Flowers!
Tulips have a natural way of moving—even after they’re cut, they grow slightly and lean toward the light. It’s something we’ve always found beautiful, so we design with that movement in mind.
When styling mini bouquets, we let the tulips arch naturally, surrounding them with soft greenery or delicate blooms like waxflower.
For bigger bouquets, we sometimes cluster tulips in tonal shades for impact, or spread them across the bouquet like brushstrokes on a canvas.
See how we express this in our Mini Flowers Bouquets article, featuring Thea—our tulip bouquet for life’s transitions.
Same Day Tulip Delivery in Singapore—Your Last-Minute Gifting Lifesaver
Sometimes, life just doesn’t go as planned. Maybe you forgot a birthday. Maybe your friend had a rough day. Or maybe you just want to brighten someone’s evening.
That’s where our Same Day Flower Delivery in Singapore service makes all the difference. We’ve helped countless customers send tulips at the last minute—without sacrificing beauty or quality.
You can learn more about how our express delivery works and what’s included in our tulip selection by reading our Same Day Flower Delivery Guide.
Choosing the Right Size and Style
Size really does matter—at least when it comes to bouquets.
A grand Birthday Bouquet overflowing with tulips is perfect for milestone celebrations, while our popular Mini Bouquets deliver just the right touch of affection for everyday moments.
We often help customers choose based on where the flowers will be displayed. If it’s going on a small table, a compact posy in a jar might be best.
For something more formal or dramatic, a large spiral bouquet with statement wrapping might be the way to go.
A Quick Word on Tulip Seasonality in Singapore
Tulips aren’t native to tropical climates, but thanks to import partnerships and modern floriculture, we’re able to offer them year-round.
Still, their availability may peak during cooler months or key floral holidays—so it’s always best to check in early if you're ordering around Valentine’s, Mother’s Day, or Christmas.
FAQ: Quick Tulip Questions
Are tulips safe for pets?
Tulips can be mildly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. We recommend keeping them out of reach if your pet loves to nibble.
How long do tulips last in a bouquet?
With clean water and proper trimming, fresh tulips can last up to 5–7 days. Just remember to re-trim the stems every couple of days.
Can I request specific colours?
Absolutely. Just drop us a note at checkout or via WhatsApp and we’ll do our best to customise your bouquet to suit your message.
Final Thoughts: Let Tulips Do the Talking
Tulips are loved by many—not just because of how they look, but because of how they feel.
There’s something in the way they tilt, bloom, and stretch that makes them seem alive in a different way.
Maybe it’s because tulips speak in colour, and every hue says something different.
From cheerful Birthday Bouquets to heartfelt wedding bouquets, from comforting Get Well Soon Flowers to spontaneous Mini Bouquets, tulip rise to every occasion with quiet elegance.
And for those moments when words aren’t quite enough—let tulips say it for you.
