The Language of Flowers – Every bloom tells a story – let your wedding bouquet speak the language of love.
Flowers have long been a symbol of love, beauty, and new beginnings, making them an essential part of any wedding celebration. But did you know that each bloom carries its own unique meaning? The tradition of floriography, or the language of flowers, allows couples to infuse their wedding day with symbolism and deeper sentiment. Whether you’re drawn to classic roses, whimsical wildflowers, or elegant orchids, choosing flowers with meaning can make your wedding bouquet and floral arrangements even more special.
Roses – Love, Passion, and Commitment
A timeless favourite, roses are synonymous with love and romance. Red roses symbolize deep passion, while white roses represent purity and new beginnings. For a soft and romantic look, blush and pink roses convey admiration and sweetness, making them a beautiful choice for wedding bouquets and centrepieces.
Peonies – Prosperity, Happiness, and Good Fortune
Peonies are adored for their lush, full blooms and delicate fragrance. These flowers symbolize prosperity, happiness, and good fortune—ideal sentiments for the start of a marriage. Their romantic ruffled petals make them a dreamy choice for bouquets and table arrangements.
Lilies – Elegance, Devotion, and Purity
Lilies, especially white ones, are a symbol of purity and devotion, making them a perfect fit for wedding ceremonies. Calla lilies, with their graceful and elongated shape, also represent elegance and sophistication, adding a touch of refinement to any floral design.
Baby’s Breath – Everlasting Love and Innocence
Often used as a delicate filler flower, baby’s breath represents everlasting love and innocence. It’s a versatile bloom that can be incorporated into bouquets, floral crowns, and table decorations for a soft, ethereal feel.
Tulips – Perfect Love and Happiness
With their sleek and classic appearance, tulips are a wonderful choice for a wedding. Red tulips symbolise deep love, while white tulips signify forgiveness and peace – both meaningful elements in a marriage.
Orchids – Strength, Beauty, and Luxury
Exotic and elegant, orchids represent strength, beauty, and luxury. They add a touch of sophistication to wedding florals and are available in a variety of colours, each carrying its own special meaning. White orchids symbolise purity and grace, while purple orchids convey admiration and dignity.
Forget-Me-Nots – Remembrance and True Love
As their name suggests, forget-me-nots are a beautiful symbol of remembrance and true love. These delicate blue flowers can be woven into bouquets, boutonnieres, or table settings as a subtle yet meaningful touch.
Daisies – Innocence, Joy, and New Beginnings
Daisies exude a cheerful and youthful charm, symbolising innocence and new beginnings. Their simple, sunny appearance makes them a lovely addition to a rustic or boho-inspired wedding.
Lavender – Devotion and Serenity
Lavender not only brings a soft, romantic fragrance but also symbolises devotion, peace, and serenity. Incorporating lavender into your wedding florals can add a calming presence to your day and leave a lasting impression on guests.
Personalising Your Wedding Flowers
Choosing wedding flowers with meaning is a beautiful way to personalise your special day. Consider mixing and matching different blooms to create a bouquet that tells your love story. You can also honour loved ones by incorporating flowers that hold sentimental value or have special family significance.
