Wedding Flower Symbolism
In addition to being an important aspect of the wedding day’s décor, flowers also communicate the tale of the day. Symbolic connotations may be attached to many flowers. Consider the meanings of the flowers you choose for your big day when arranging your wedding floral arrangements, as well as the seasonality of the flowers.
Baby’s breath
Innocence is a well-known flower filler because of its adorable and fragile appearance.
Calla lily
The trumpet-shaped calla lily has an air of refinement about it, which is why it is so popular as a bridal flower. Magnificence and grandeur are conveyed by its design.
Chrysanthemum
More than simply a burst of color, these blossoms represent prosperity, richness, truth, and joyfulness.
Carnations
Carnations, which literally translates to “golden flower,” come in a variety of colors, and each one has a distinct significance. Pink is a color of thankfulness and courage. Both love and skill are represented by the colors white and red. It’s preferable to stay away from the striped types, which are thought to indicate refuse.
Daisy
The daisy, the bridal flower of the 1960s and ’70s, has come to be associated with a sense of freedom and innocence.
Daffodil
The daffodil is one of the few yellow flowers that doesn’t have a bad connotation. Symbolizing fresh beginnings, this flower is ideal for a wedding bouquet.
Freesia
These beautiful bell-shaped flowers are available in a wide range of colors, making them ideal for a variety of wedding color schemes. Freesias, on the other hand, are a symbol of purity and camaraderie.
Gerbera
When you see a bouquet of gerbera daisies, you just can’t help but grin. It’s appropriate that they represent happiness because of their exuberance.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are a great choice for a bridal bouquet because of their beautiful water color effects and because they are usually associated with empathy, endurance, and sincere feeling.
Iris
The iris is a flower that embodies all three of these qualities perfectly: faith, bravery, and sage knowledge. Also, it has an attractive rich purple hue, making it a standout in any floral arrangement!
Lilac
Lilacs are a lovely option for a wedding bouquet if you’re planning to walk down the aisle with your one and only love. They are a representation of the very first feelings of love.
Lily
White lilies have historically been used as funeral flowers, but in recent years, they have become more popular as wedding flowers. They’re talking about magnificence, accuracy, and decency. The brilliant red and orange lilies symbolize passion, while the yellow lilies are a sign of contentment.
Magnolia
Magnolias have long been prized as cut flowers because of their beauty. Nobility and grandeur as well as an intrinsic appreciation of nature are conveyed by their presence.
Orchid
As a symbol of love, beauty, strength and elegance, the orchid is a beautiful and versatile flower.
Peony
For a wedding bouquet, peonies are among the most romantic flowers. What’s the matter, then? Because they represent a happy marriage and good fortune in the most literal sense.
Rose
While the red rose may be the most romantically associated color, other hues of the rose have their own special connotations. Yellow, orange, and pink flowers all signify different emotions: friendship, desire, and adoration.
Sunflower
The length of the stem is what transmits the greatest message when it comes to beautiful sunflowers in a wedding bouquet. Love is symbolized by shorter sunflower stalks, whereas arrogance is symbolized by larger stems.
Tulip
Tulips have a more universal connotation of love and ardor. However, much like roses, they come in a variety of colors, each with a distinct significance. Tulips with red, yellow, or multi-colored blooms signify love, while those with white blooms symbolize purity.
