Choosing Wedding Flowers With Meaning
By 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.
