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.

Gratefulness and Sincerity - Hydrangea

This water-loving bloom should always have a constant water source to keep it as fresh as possible until the wedding day. These luscious blooms have large clusters of lavish petals and come in wonderful shades of white, green, blue and pink.

Faith, Wisdom and Valor

The iris has been prized through generations by Greeks and other folklore. In Greek mythology, Iris was a messenger between heaven and earth. So this lovely bloom carries a message to your beloved of the faith of your love. The deep purple of the iris below have striking yellow throats on their petals.

Appreciation and Gratefulness - Lisianthus

These remarkable flowers have the delicate look of a windblown summer rose. They come in deep purple, white, pink and several bi-color choices. See how complementary the white lisianthus looks in the wedding centerpiece below.

Luxerious Love - Orchids

The exotic blooms of varied orchids truly do speak of luxurious beauty from the tropics. Check out my Orchid Bouquets , Orchid Corsages and Orchid Boutonnieres for more great photos of these gorgeous flowers.
