Your wedding is a symbol of your love and commitment to one another. And throughout your wedding you have the opportunity to “say” more than just “I do.”

Wedding Bouquet from Style Me Pretty

This is where your flowers come in. The flowers you choose will be talking. But what will they be saying?
Throughout the Victorian era, different types of flowers were each given a certain meaning. Variety was limited and flowers were meant to relay different messages and symbolize different relationships.

Have you picked out your flowers yet? Maybe we can help you find the best message to send to your guests and groom on your big day!

 

Roses

Rose Bouquet from Style Me Pretty

The traditional bride, who loves love, will also love her roses.

Roses themselves are signs of love and commitment, which is why they are the perfect flower for a traditional, classic bride. But there’s more meaning than meets the eye when it comes to a rose. Why? Because each colour means something a bit different.

Red roses are for passionate love. Whereas pink is for perfect happiness. White represents innocence and purity and having rose leaves adorn your floral arrangement will say, “You may hope.”
