Choosing Wedding Flowers With Meaning
Shaan Randow
You know you want vibrant colors, beautiful accents and flowers
that represent who you and your groom are. However, unless you
have a particular flower in mind, choosing your wedding flowers
can be a difficult challenge.
Some brides choose their wedding flowers by what they symbolize
and also by what is in season when your wedding is taking place.
Choose your wedding flowers carefully and take your time. Think
about where you met, were there flowers that you think about
and hold in your memory? Walk through public gardens; visualize
the flowers you see in your wedding. Which ones stand out? Talk
to friends who garden and ask their opinions as to what flowers
would look great in your wedding. Or if you have decided on
wedding colors, choose flowers that would accent and make these
colors prominent.
When choosing wedding flowers for bouquets and arrangements,
check out Calla Lilys, which are large yellow or white tropical
flowers. These are in bloom during the spring and summer months
and mean magnificent beauty. Delphinium flowers are also in
bloom during the summer months and come in shades of white and
blues and are a popular wedding flower. Delphinium means
swiftness and lightness.
Other common flower choices to look at when choosing your
wedding flowers are Lilies of the Valley, which are traditional
wedding flowers. They are small, white, and bell-shaped and are
commonly used with other flowers in arrangements. Their meaning
is happiness. A simple, and yet perfect meaning to any wedding.
For all year round flowers, try choosing wedding flowers that
have a strong meaning, with a subtle look. Chrysanthemums have
several different varieties to choose from, such as spider,
miniature buttons and pom-poms. They come in different colors
and mean wealth, abundance and truth. Carnations are another
popular choice for weddings and come in either full-size or
miniature blooms. Available in red, white and pink they can
also be dyed to match the colors of your wedding. The meaning
of carnations is love and devotion, which fits a wedding
perfectly.
When choosing wedding flowers, also think about fillers for
bouquets. Ivy is the most popular filler and has been used for
generations. It is available year around and means fidelity,
friendship and marriage, which is a good start to include in
your wedding.
More traditional flowers to consider when choosing wedding
flowers are the common rose and stephanotis. Roses are used in
full blooms or buds and are available in a variety of colors.
These are famous for bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. Their
meaning is love, joy, and beauty, which fit right in with a
bride and groom uniting as one. Stephanotises are
trumpet-shaped blooms in white and pink. They are available
year around and mean marital happiness.
Some people believe that the flowers used in weddings,
dependent on their meaning, can bring luck and good fortune to
the couple who chose them. When choosing your wedding flowers,
go with those that stand out to you and ones that would look
beautiful in your wedding photos. And remember, you can never
really go wrong when you include flowers in a wedding.
