If you plan to walk down the aisle anytime soon, you should be
aware that the flowers you carry might say more than you
intended.

That's right; most flowers carry a meaning, or a special
significance that has been passed down from generation to
generation.

We can trace this "flower talk" back to the Victorian Era. It
was improper in those days for a man to come out and tell a
lady how he felt, so he would choose a flower with special
meaning and send it her instead. Because the meaning of flowers
was so well known, the woman receiving them understood the
message as clearly as if it was written on a piece of paper.

Today, many people don't speak "flower talk," but on a day as
important as your wedding, you should place a special emphasis
on what the flowers that you carry mean.

Let's start by looking at a few of the most popular wedding
flowers, and then examine their meanings.

Roses

There is a reason that roses are the most popular choice of
flowers for brides. A white rose stands for innocence, beauty
and charm-just the traits every bride wants to portray. A bride
that chooses red roses for her wedding flowers is sending a
message of passion and of fiery love. If dark pink roses are
used for a wedding, the couple is expressing a thankfulness
that they found each other. An ivy colored rose stands for
fidelity in the marriage-something every new couple strives
for.

Tulips

If you are having a spring wedding, there is simply no better
way to express your love for your future spouse than by
carrying a bouquet of tulips. They are not only beautiful, but
speak of an undying love.

Daisies

Daisies are many people's favorite flower, but not a lot of
brides use them in their wedding décor. They might if they
understood their significance! Daisies stand for romance and an
innocent spirit. Does that describe you?

Calla Lilies

These graceful flowers are reminders of our past generations
when grace and beauty were the rule. Associated with elegance
and charm, a calla lily would be the perfect flower if you
wanted to create a sophisticated atmosphere for your wedding.

Now that we've looked at some of the most popular flowers,
let's talk about how to use them to create just the right
wedding event for you.

If you want a fairy tale type wedding, then you can't go wrong
with roses-lots of them - Combine pinks-both dark and soft -and
white and ivy colored ones. Be sure to wrap them in lots of
sparkling tulle that matches the other colors in your wedding.

For a more sophisticated affair, use calla lilies. You can
carry a single stem for a simple look, or a large bouquet for a
stunning effect. Be sure to combine these flowers with
elegance-both in the wedding party's attire and the surrounding
decorations.

For a more casual event-such as a beach wedding-use daisies to
make your guests feel cheery and at home. You can tie them with
pretty ribbons that match the other colors in your wedding's
décor, and then mix them with loads of baby's breath.

Finally, there simply is no better flower for a garden wedding
than the tulip. Choose soft pastel colors to create a spring
wedding, and then combine them with lots of feathery greenery,
white linen and adoring looks!

As you can see, the flowers that you choose for your wedding
will definitely set the mood. Knowing that, before you select
your flowers, determine what type of wedding and reception
event you want to have. Once you do that, choosing the flowers
will be a breeze!
