Wedding Flower Meanings: Tell Your Love Story With Beautiful Blooms

Are you someone who loves to find meaning in everything around you? For you, life has a purpose, and we all have a story to tell. We can find magic in the everyday and use our beautiful surroundings to help tell our story. This is especially true of flowers – the language of flowers has been use to help us send messages and express our emotions for hundreds of years, and it is the perfect way to convey your love story on the most emotional day of your life, your wedding day.

How perfect it is to tie every little detail of your wedding day together? To cross-reference and link back to your life, to let your guests know what is truly important to you and the life you are building together! And perhaps hint at what’s to come in your future….

And this doesn’t have to just be traditional flower language, or floriography, as beautiful as these messages are. Let’s get really personal – bring in your own personal symbolism. Perhaps your hobbies and passions will flash up here and there. Common themes are to name tables after significant places, perhaps your centrepieces can include elements of your time there? Each table different to the next, with flower tones that encapsulate your time spent there.

Or maybe your bouquet includes flowers that are dear to you because you grew them with your beloved grandma; your hair flowers have pops of yellow to radiate how happy you are to be marrying your best friend; your bridesmaids each carrying different flowers to showcase each emotion you are feeling.

When we start the wedding planning conversation, we’ll talk about you, your loves and your vision for your wedding. By getting to know you I can bring together a plan to showcase everything that is important to you and reflect that back to your guests on your wedding day through stunning floral arrangements. I want to tell your love story through beautiful British flowers with meaning wrapped around every stem.

I can help you choose how best to bring in elements of your life together, and which flowers symbolise the messages you want to tell.
To get started, here are a few of the most likely flowers found in wedding décor and what they mean:

Roses: A classic and elegant bloom, each colour tells something slightly different, with red symbolising passionate love to white symbolising innocence and purity.

Peonies: An abundant bloom with delicate fragrance, peonies represent wealth, prosperity, and happiness, promising a life flourishing with abundance and joy.

Dahlias: With their myriad of colours are these are flower of choice right now. These flowers tell everyone of your commitment to each other.

Lily of the Valley: Delicate and sweet smelling bells that infuse your wedding with the promise and joy that marriage brings.

It’s time to start crafting your own love language in flowers – it all starts with a conversation with your florist and here in rural Somerset I love being surrounded by nature at it’s best and most inspiring. Our conversation just starts with a quick message from you here, and I will be in touch within 24 hours. Why not tell me which flowers are most important to you and why?
