The flowers that you choose for your wedding day play a big role. It’s not just the color(s) or the gorgeous scent, your floral choices carry a special meaning. From your own wedding bouquet to those carried by your bridesmaids, the centerpieces to the decorative arrangements around the venue, your wedding flower choices add a “statement” to the day. Birkat Elyon has years of experience helping couples choose beautiful cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings. Having been around weddings for that long, they make these helpful recommendations on the traditional meaning of wedding flowers; let them add to your story!
BABY’S BREATH
With its white color, this sweet “accent” flower symbolizes innocence. Even though it’s been around for eons, baby’s breath is back in fashion. It makes an excellent choice for groomsmen or addition to bouquets and centerpieces. Plus, it’s pretty affordable and available year-round.
DAFFODILS
Not surprisingly, these cheery flowers represent “happiness.” If you plan a spring wedding, daffodils can be relatively inexpensive.
FREESIA
This luxurious bloom is also tagged as meaning “innocence” — and packs a lush, fruity scent. Freesia is lovely in a bouquet, but that scent might be off-putting to your dinner guests; avoid it in a centerpiece.
ORCHIDS
The standard meanings of the orchid include “refinement,” “fertility,” “beauty,” and of course, “love.” These lovely blooms come in many sizes and colors, so you’re certain to find something that works in a bouquet or corsage.
CALLA LILY
In Greek, “calla” means “beauty” – and so no surprise that this elegant flower is a popular wedding choice. They’re also thought to bring the bride good luck.
TULIPS
This popular flower indicates “love and passion.” What could be better for such a romantic occasion? One of the best features of the tulip is that it’s available in so many colors, especially on the delicate pastel side.
CHRYSANTHEMUM
The sturdy chrysanthemum comes with meanings including “wealth” and “abundance” – not a bad way to start off a marriage. They make for lovely backdrops, especially for fall weddings. And they have the added bonus of being affordable.
ANEMONE
The anemone comes with meanings including “good luck,” “protection” and “expectation” (a nice sentiment for your future happiness together). They have two added bonuses: they’re affordable and tend to be unscented. This makes them a good choice for table arrangements and bouquets.
LILY OF THE VALLEY
This traditional marriage flower has long symbolized “happiness.” The fresh scent is sure to trigger those feelings as it wafts up from your bouquet.
HYDRANGEA
The lovely blooms of the colorful hydrangea bring the traditional meaning of “heartfelt emotions” and “understanding.” This makes the hydrangea a great choice for arrangements around the venue.
ZINNIAS
Zinnias are affordable, but they also traditionally mean “lasting affection” and “thoughts of friends.” For those reasons alone, they make an awesome choice for bridesmaids’ bouquets.
ROSES
Most definitely, roses are the most loved flower for a wedding. They pack the awesome triple-threat-meaning of “love,” “beauty” and “romance.” And when it comes to your budget, they’re available all year round.
