Flowers That Represent Love for Your Bridal Bouquet!

Choosing the right wedding flowers may seem overwhelming with all the different types available. Well, let me help you make your choice easier!

The key is to understand the language of flowers and you'll be set with a beautiful bouquet that is full of love and affection.

What is the Language of Flowers?

During the Victorian Era, the Language of Flowers was established as an ultra-romantic language between lovers. Who wouldn't want to be courted with flowers, a form of poetry without words?

For years, the greatest way to express "I love you" has been with the delicate beauty of flowers. Many people buy flowers because of their meaning, yet not all flowers represent love in the same way.

Do you want to profess your undying love to your partner without saying a word?

Well, there's no better time than now to learn the romantic language of the Victorian Era!

Be surrounded by perfect love bouquets!

Many couples today continue this romantic tradition by creating beautiful wedding bouquets and centerpieces with different flower meanings.

While flowers associated with love, such as roses and carnations, are popular, there are many more meaningful characteristics to consider, such as new beginnings (daffodil), faith (iris), and perseverance (hydrangea), which would create a dreamy bouquet for your wedding!

Even so, it's important to note that not all flowers are friends in a wedding.

Remember to steer clear of flowers with negative connotations, such as begonia, which means "beware," and tansy, which means "hostile thoughts."

Let's take a look at what these pretty plants mean before choosing the perfect bouquet!
