Wedding Flowers


While picking out your wedding flowers, it might be nice to know the symbolic meaning behind each flower that you choose. A neat idea is to select a flower whose meaning matches your bridesmaid's personality. You could give each bridesmaid a different signature flower to make her bouquet more individual and special, with a note explaining what that particular flower means.

Here are some example:

Amaranthus: constancy and fidelity
Amaryllis: pride, pastoral beauty
Chrysanthemum: happiness and long life
Chrysanthemum (white): truth
Chrysanthemum (yellow): secret admirer
Chrysanthemum (red): love
Daffodil: respect, good fortune, chivalry
Daisy: innocence, loyal love, purity
Forget-Me-Not: faithful love and memory
Iris: faith and wisdom
Ivy: affection
Lilac: first love
Lily: purity and sweetness
Orchid: love and beauty
Peony: happiness and prosperity
Rose: love and desire
Tulip: true love
Violet: modesty
Zinnia: thoughts of friends
