The UAE National Day or Eid Al Etihad is upon us, and this can only mean one thing: grand-scale celebrations and festivities galore! Emiratis don’t hold back on the joyful gatherings, and why should they? It’s a time to honour the unification of the seven emirates, an occasion that embodies unity, harmony and visionary spirit since 1971. As much as it’s a loved and cherished ceremony, it’s also greatly monumental to those celebrating.
While lavish fireworks and spectacular air shows are the main event, large malls, shopping stores and neighbourhood residences can all be seen elaborately decked out with UAE flags proudly showcasing their patriotic spirit. The nation becomes a kaleidoscope of red, green, white, and black (rightfully so!)
Whether you’re presenting a gift for the UAE National Day or elevating your own interiorscape for the occasion, flowers always bode well. Let’s look at some of the top flower gift ideas to celebrate the UAE National Day with loved ones.
Drawing inspiration from the national flag, a thoughtful floral ‘phenomenon’ would be to use flowers inspired by the colours of the flag.
Let’s delve into the colours of the UAE national flag, their connotations and how you can translate them into stunning floral arrangements. Each colour carries a powerful symbolism, red representing courage and sacrifice. Red roses, red tulips, red gerberas and anthuriums are perfect choices to capture this bold statement. Green symbolises growth and prosperity; lush green chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, foliage, eucalyptus or ferns are all ideal to capture the essence of prosperity and success. White stands for peace and purity, and white lilies, roses, or orchids denote just that. And finally, black reflects strength and resilience. Black dyed carnations or even packaging or accents like ribbon and flower boxes can achieve this overall patriotic look. For a hint of authentic national heritage, incorporate Tribulus Omanense for a nod to resilient local blooms.
By choosing flowers that echo these shades, you can create arrangements that are not only stunning but also meaningful.
An arrangement of Red roses, white lilies, and green chrysanthemum in a black flower box is a beautiful statement piece as a gift or a striking focal point in your own home. Red roses, white orchids, green hydrangeas tied beautifully with a black ribbon are another elegant option ideal for celebratory gifting.
Why not red gerberas, white lilies and green ferns in black wrapping? Or white roses, red tulips and green foliage in a sleek black floral vessel? If mixing and matching flowers and colours is not your vibe, then solid coloured arrangements with a small UAE flag and note can also capture the essence of the mood.
At the end of the day, what matters most is the thought behind your gift. This UAE National Day, whether you’re gifting to a loved one or elevating your own home, a beautiful flower arrangement goes a long way.
