Pink flowers are used as a symbol of love and awareness. For decades, pink flowers have been used to decorate weddings as a symbol of love.[1] They can also be used as a display of love at funerals, as demonstrated at the funeral for Anna Nicole Smith.[2][3]

More recently, pink flowers have come to symbolize breast cancer awareness.[4]

They may also be used as an expression of thanks,[5] or just enjoyed for their aesthetic beauty.[6][7]
