Floral Connection

Not only colors have meanings when it comes to weddings. It is believed that the bridal bouquet and the choice of flowers also represent the bride’s true feelings. A bouquet is something not only for the bride to hold and to add decorations to her wedding gown but it is believed that floral wreaths of the ancient Greece and Rome were worn by Olympic champions, brides and grooms to symbolize fertility and this practice is said to be the origin of the bride holding the bouquet.

The bundle of flowers is also believed to ward off evil spirits as its fragrance is pungent for them since in the olden times, spices and herbs like garlic, chives and sages were popular bouquet components with the inclusion of dill, which is used for food flavoring, is said to increase the couple’s sexual desire. Rosemary is also used to help remember fidelity in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance period. Orange blossoms were used in China to be a sign of innocence and fertility.

The modern bride chooses beautiful and colourful flowers to hold on their wedding day instead of having herbs and spices. These flowers also have meanings but are ignored since most brides would just focus on the flowers’ beauty and not the meaning that they have. Roses are the most common and most popular choice of flowers for the bridal bouquet. Different colors of roses have different meanings. White roses symbolize innocence, beauty and charm. Red roses convey passions and fieriness of the love that the couple shares. The thankfulness of having found each other is what dark pink roses express. And for couples who give strong commitment and fidelity towards each other often use the ivory coloured rose.
