Flowers have always been a favoured expression of friendship and love.
Prior to bridal bouquets,
brides carried bunches of garlic herbs and grains to drive
evil spirits away, as they walked down the aisle. This
practice, thankfully evolved and was replaced with flowers,
symbolizing fertility and love.
Today, floral choices are endless. Choose a wedding
specialist to assist you review some of their previous work,
before you hire them.Which colour, which variety, which type??
will all be defined by the theme you chose for your wedding day,
the cost and the season of the year. You will want to use your
flowers to tie everything together, including your bridal gown.
An experienced florist will discuss the style and look you wish
to achieve. You may want to bring in some examples of ideas that
have caught your eye from wedding magazines, as well as sample
swatches of your gown, your bridesmaids attire, the setting of
the wedding and your table linens, to understand what you are
hoping to achieve.
The Language of Flowers:
Give red and white roses to your fiance on your wedding eve
(happy love and unity)
Meet your inlaws for the first time with heather,
(admiration) daffodils, (regard, not love) or bouquets of morning
glories. (affection)
For your bridal shower, choose centrepieces of acacia
(friendship) and yellow lily (gaiety)
For the groom at the wedding, have his friends give him a
sprig of ivy (fidelity)
Decorate the church, chapel, or garden with lilies
(purity of heart), ivy (fidelity).
Your bouquet will express unspoken emotions when you
include: blue violet (faithfulness),
orchids (beauty and love), myrtle(joy) or
iris (promise in love).
