Use Wedding Flowers as Your Signature
There is usually no wedding that is celebrated without flowers. It does not matter where you live or what your religion is, there is one thing common to almost all weddings–wedding flowers.
Did You Know That Each Flower Leaves a Message Behind?
Once upon a time in Europe, young men used flowers to convey their feelings and emotions hoping for an encouraging sign from the one whom they wanted to court. Each flower said something; each flower had a symbolism. You could also use this symbolism to create the theme of your wedding.
The red rose– this flower when red in color symbolizes an open and passionate invitation of love. When you choose the red rose for your wedding flowers you want to tell the world how passionate you are about one another, how much in love, how much committed to each other you both are.
The white rose– white is the color of purity, innocence, beauty, virtue. When used as wedding flowers, they symbolize purity of love and openness that comes with innocence and virtue. It symbolizes fidelity, infinite and enduring love.
The daisy– there is no way you can lay your eyes on a daisy and not instinctively smile. This flower is just that – it forces you to be happy. When daisies are used as wedding flowers they symbolize delight, joy, ecstasy in finding one another, in knowing and feeling each other’s love.
Daisies also mean romance and purity of thought. Very often the daisies are associated with the ladybug (a little red insect with round tiny black dots on its back) which in turn means marriage. The legend goes that when a ladybug lands on a young lady she would be married before the year ends.
Calla Lilies – these wedding flowers trace heir origin to Greece where some of the most beautiful legends about love, devotion and commitment has been romanticized. These flowers symbolize beauty in an elegant way, sophistication, and practicality. These flowers normally leave an impression of unbeatable charm and even a little arrogance.
There are plenty of other flowers with which you can make your wedding as special as you dreamt it would be. For best impact of your efforts do not forget to print a little note explaining the meaning and symbolism of the wedding flowers you chose so your guests would understand and appreciate your efforts.
