Bouquets and single flowers make the perfect gift for almost any occasion, spanning births to funerals. Whether you present a solitary long-stemmed red rose or a bouquet of various blooms, you’re offering an expression of emotions that words don't always easily convey.
You may be unsure of what type or color of flower is appropriate for each occasion. Nearly every flower has an attached and historical sentiment that conveys a message to the recipient or the guests at an event, such as a wedding. For example, a tansy flower, which is part of the daisy family, may have cheerful button-like heads, but to some, it suggests you're offering a recipient "hostile thoughts," while to others it means "health and immortality." Pink carnations may mean "gratitude," but striped carnations signify "refusal," and yellow carnations mean rejection.

These meanings are derived from several sources, from the Bible to the words of Shakespeare, and the symbology of flowers has evolved over centuries. Learn the language of flowers to feel more confident in your selections.
Regardless of the size or location of the wedding, many couples consider flower arrangements and bouquets to be a critical element to consider during the planning process.

Wedding flower trends change from year to year with colors and styles typically matching the trends in fashion and home decor. Many couples prefer to choose flowers based on the season of their nuptials. However, red roses (symbolizing passionate love) and peonies (symbolizing a happy marriage, prosperity, and good fortune) are always popular choices for wedding bouquets and arrangements. If you'd like to customize the message your flowers mean on your wedding day, here is the meaning behind some other wedding flower favorites:
Amaryllis: love and determination
Calla lilies: regal and elegant
Gardenias: joy
Hydrangeas: perseverance and heartfelt emotion
