Brown flowers are warm flowers and when used in arrangements, they tend to bring out the beauty in other flowers. Usually are used in funeral arrangements, as they are a little bit dark and sad.

    * Brown flowers may also be mixed with red flowers. These arrangements will look very passionate and fervent.
