Language of flowers

Language of flowers, now almost forgotten, was popular in 19 Century, then symbolism and meaning could say more than words. White roses as most popular choice for traditional weddings mean virtue, innocence, gratitude and chastity.

Pink roses are the most popular of colored bridal flowers, with the delicate hue adding romance and femininity to bridal bouquet. Light pink roses symbolize grace, desire, passion, joy, energy and youth.

White and red roses together symbolize unity.

Red roses.

When brightly colored bridal flowers came on the scene in the late 1990s, red was the number one chosen by brides for their bouquets. After all, a bright red bouquet stands out in contrast to pristine white wedding gown and photographs well.

It symbolizes true love, passion, desire, deep love and respect. Red  and yellow roses together symbolize excitement. A red rosebud symbolizes purity and loveliness.

Lilies

In religious life the white lily is a symbol of sainthood and great virtue, heroism and faith.

In China the daylily symbolizes motherhood, so would be lovely if you use Daylily in your decor to make the floral accessoires for the mothers and grandmothers. 

 Pink lilies symbolize beauty, charm, happiness, fondness and friendship.

Stargazer lilies symbolize brightness and beauty.

Lilies with negative meanings.

Orange lilies symbolize hatred. You might not like your future mother-in –law, but don’t hand her this telltale bloom. Many guests are well-informed of the language of flowers, and they may tell her the symbol within the flowers she is wearing.

Tiger lilies symbolize pride. As one of the seven deadly sins, it’s not a symbol you should bring into your wedding day.

Yellow lilies can symbolize falseness. On your wedding day you want everything to be truth. A dark- meaning flower like this one has no place at a wedding, where symbols are all about love and faithfulness.

Daisies.

White daisies symbolize innocence, loyalty, loyal love, and purity.

Yellow daisies bring in the meanings of joy, natural beauty, happiness, friendship, innocence, and youth. They symbolize the return of springtime, a new season, new abundance and cheerfulness.
