The Day of the Dead, also known as All Saints’ Day, is one of the most emblematic and colorful holidays in Mexican culture.
In this celebration, full of meaning and tradition, flowers play a fundamental role in honoring and remembering loved ones who have passed away.
What flowers to choose for this November 1st and 2nd?
The Day of the Dead is characterized by the creation of colorful altars to commemorate the deceased. Flowers are placed in them that, with their aroma and beauty, attract and guide the souls of loved ones back to the earthly world.
But there are two species that stand out and cannot be missing from your altar this year:
Cempasuchil: with its vibrant orange tones and distinctive shape, it symbolizes the sun and life. It is the most iconic flower of this holiday, since its fragrance is believed to guide souls.
Velvet Flower: with its deep red tone, it represents mourning and eternal love. Adding it to any Day of the Dead floral arrangement is a wise decision if you want to feel the emotions of this celebration on your altar.
At Premium Florist we have the perfect arrangements to decorate and honor your loved ones. Whether you live in Mexico City or any other place, a combination of zucchini, marigolds and velvet flower will be ideal to remember with love the people who accompany you from beyond.
Celebrate the Day of the Dead with an altar
We want to help you build a beautiful, moving, personalized altar.
Maybe this is your first time creating one, so here are some tips to get you started:
Choose a special place for the altar within your home. Make sure it is visible and accessible, so souls can find it.
Add photographs, food and personal items of your loved ones to connect with their memory and tastes. You can also incorporate sugar skulls and bread of the dead as an offering.
Take a moment to remember and reflect on shared experiences. Light some candles.
Select from our floral arrangements the option that you like the most. We have a wide variety of styles for this day, for example wicker baskets or charming bouquets that will reach any Mexican city, such as Monterrey or Puebla.
Let the flowers be a hug to the soul!
Decorate your home with beautiful flowers
Flowers are more than a metaphor for life and death, they are offerings of love and respect to those who are no longer here. If you want to incorporate this symbolism into your home (and not just on the altar), you can do it in a variety of ways.
For example, through a wreath to hang on the door of your house and welcome the souls of your loved ones when they return to this world.
Another idea is to decorate your table with arrangements that include marigolds and traditional flowers. Place them in the center, at your meals and family gatherings, to keep the memory of each loved one alive.
If you are in Guadalajara or any other city in Mexico, on our website you will find a special combination of marigolds and lilies. It will be a perfect centerpiece for this November 1st and 2nd!

At Premium Florist, we believe that flowers are not only a gift to the living, but also a heartfelt offering to those who are no longer with us.

Go ahead and honor your loved ones in the most beautiful way!
