Discovering Each Flower Meaning
What Message Does Your
Wedding Bouquet Convey?
Each flower meaning had special purposes in Victorian times. A demure girl could send a "message" to her beau just by the flowers they exchanged! Today you can send the same loving message to your groom by the flowers you use to fill bouquets, wedding decorations and centerpieces.
