Graduation Day 2025 is a milestone worth celebrating, marking years of hard work and the start of new adventures. At Flower Patch, we believe flowers are the perfect way to say “Congratulations!” to graduates in Utah and beyond. From vibrant bouquets to elegant leis, our Utah-grown floral arrangements add joy and meaning to this special occasion. Here are seven inspiring ways to celebrate Graduation Day with flowers, crafted by our expert florists in Salt Lake City and Provo.

Why Flowers Shine on Graduation Day

Flowers have long been a tradition for graduations, symbolizing achievement, joy, and new beginnings. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (DoFollow), millions of students graduate each year, and flowers remain a timeless gift to honor their success. Whether you’re attending a ceremony in Utah or sending a bouquet from afar, Flower Patch’s arrangements make Graduation Day unforgettable.

7 Ways to Celebrate with Flowers
  1. Gift a Personalized Bouquet: Choose a bouquet in the graduate’s school colors, like blue and white for the University of Utah. Our Designer’s Choice Graduation Bouquet includes roses and carnations tailored to your grad’s style.

  2. Present a Corsage or Boutonniere: A white rose corsage or sunflower boutonniere adds flair to graduation gowns. Present it before the ceremony for photos.

  3. Decorate the Party: Use our Vibrant Graduate Centerpiece, featuring yellow tulips and blue irises, to brighten graduation parties in Salt Lake City or Ogden.

  4. Send a Surprise Delivery: Can’t attend? Order our Congratulations Bouquet for same-day delivery to Provo or beyond. Visit our Flower Patch Shop to schedule.

  5. Honor with a Lei: Inspired by cultural traditions, our orchid leis symbolize affection and success, perfect for draping over graduates during ceremonies.

  6. Add a Heartfelt Note: Include a message like “Proud of You!” with our Custom Arrangements. Call 801-747-2824 to personalize.

  7. Give a Lasting Gift: Opt for a potted orchid plant, symbolizing growth, for graduates moving to dorms or new homes.
