I love it when brides build their bouquets around blooms that have special meaning. This can be as simple as including a few daisies if your husband-to-be brought you a bunch on your first date, or a pair of peonies if your mother carried those down the aisle. Another sweet idea: Mixing and matching flowers that have, since Victorian times, come to symbolize different emotions and virtues. Here’s a list of some of my favorite flowers, and what they represent:
- crocus: cheerfulness
- daisy: innocence
- dogwood: duration
- orchid: beauty
- forget-me-not: remember me
- freesia: innocence
- geranium: true friendship
- hellebore: calming
- lady’s mantle: comfort
- lilac: first emotions of love
- pansy: you’re in my thoughts
- peony: bashful
- pink jasmine: I attach myself to you
- ranunculus: radiant with charms
- snowdrop: hope
- sweet pea: delicate pleasures
- tulip: declaration of love
- white jasmine: amiability
