There are a lot of different flowers that you can
use as a wedding flower. However, did you know that throughout history
these flowers have stood for different meanings. Thus, if giving
flowers as wedding favors or anything like that, you will have to know
the different meanings of the different flowers. All wedding flowers
have different symbolic emotions and, of course, affections that are
attached to them. Even silk wedding flowers have their own meaning
behind them. Although most of these meanings came about during the
Victorian Era, these meanings hold true for today's time as well. When
you get done reading this, you should have a better understanding of
the meanings of different wedding flowers.
Now, a few wedding flowers could be open to
interpretation today. However, you are going to find that most flowers
fall under the guidelines that we are going to talk about today. If you
ever find a wedding flower that does not, then it may be a new wedding
interpretation of that flower. Keep in mind that knowing these
different meanings does not only help you when doing wedding flower
favors, but also with your wedding bouquet.
First of all, you have the rose flowers. Each
different color of rose flower has a different meaning. Whether they
are silk wedding flowers or not, if they are roses, they should follow
these rules. Red ones stand for passion and love. A white rose is, of
course, going to stand for innocence, and a pure love. If you have pink
roses, then those are going to stand for perfect happiness! The yellow
rose is the one you have to be careful of. The yellow one stands for
friendship. Thus, these make for good wedding favors, but not so much
to use in your wedding. Then there is one more rose, which is the
thornless rose. This is one that means love at first sight.
Some other wedding flowers you may want to know
about would be the Gardenia. This is a flower that is suppose to stand
for love, or a secret love. An orchid is something that stands for
beauty and, of course, love. However, nowadays it can also stand for
refinement, thus, the meaning of that one is left up to you. The Blue
Violet is a favorite among people, because it stands for 'I'll always
be true'. The last two that we will talk about is the Forget me not,
which stands for true love and, of course, good memories, which makes
sense, because you would not want to forget those memories. Last, we
are going to talk about the Red Chrysanthemum. This is a flower that is
suppose to show sharing.
There are many other flowers, but these are some of the most commonly
used in weddings. What you have to do is make sure that you pick out a
flower that is prefect for you. The flowers not only have to go with
the theme and feel of your wedding, but they also need to say what you
want to say. Flowers are a great way to get points across that you have
a hard time saying.
