Say It With Flowers
Did you know that flowers have a secret language all their own? Each flower has a symbolic meaning, based on the type of flower, as well as the color. The Victorians, romantics that they were, developed a highly refined language as a way to send secret messages between men and women. Add a special layer of meaning to your wedding by selecting flowers with a message.
Roses are one of the most popular wedding flowers, and each color has its own special meaning. Red roses stand for passion, yellow for friendship, and pink for joy of life. Color combinations can send different messages than single hues; red and white roses symbolize unity, and joy is the meaning of the red and yellow roses.
Other traditional wedding flowers include lily of the valley, which mean sweetness, calla lilies for beauty, and red tulips for declaration of love. The sophisticated orchid represents love and refinement. Hoping for wealth and prosperity in your marriage? Include stalks of wheat, which represent that happy situation.
The color scheme that you select for your flowers can be carried into the rest of the wedding. The pure and elegant look of an all-white wedding would be further enhanced by dressing your attendants in the palest pastels accented with tasteful pearl bridesmaid jewelry sets. If you love the passionate message of red roses, give your attendants bridesmaid jewelry sets created with brilliant red Swarovski crystals. Keeping a consistent color palette throughout the event will give your wedding a very harmonious feeling.
Still undecided about which flowers to use? If you hope to have a large family one day, then choose orange blossoms, which have long been a wedding favorite because of their association with fertility. Or send a message to your sweetie that, “I am dazzled by your charms” by carrying a bouquet of ranunculus. The secret language of flowers is a charming old custom that would be wonderful to include in your wedding.
