Flower Power

Flowers add color, fragrance, and life to your wed­ding like nothing else can. Blossoms may enhance your beauty in the form of bridal bouquets and head wreaths. Sunny arrangements convert stony cathe­drals into garden palaces and single flowers on men’s lapels or small arrangements on reception tables add a loving touch of nature’s splendor.

In addition to adding beauty to a ceremony, flow­ers also convey meanings and secret messages. Since the sixteenth century when women began carrying small posies of rosemary, rosewater, and marigolds, bridal bouquets have come to symbolize fertility, fi­delity, and wishes of happiness.

Through these same traditions, many flowers continue to symbolize thoughts and feelings today. What messages of love and romance are you conveying with your wedding flowers?
