Traditional Wedding Flowers


Wedding Flowers play an integral part in any wedding, used for both decoration and for tradition. Wedding Flowers - Wedding Ceremony Flowers and Wedding Reception Flowers - set the mood and tone for the day.

Flowers used in a wedding can range from natural Cut Flowers, artificial flowers like porcelain bridal flowers, to handmade flowers with Swarovski crystals, and silk flowers.

In early Roman Weddings, Brides carried herbs under their veils to ensure fertility and fidelity and ward off evil spirits. In Weddings in ancient Greece, the Ivy was used to represent enduring love.

Different customs have adopted different conventions in the use of flowers in weddings. Jazz musicians lead a procession to the reception from the church in Louisiana, followed by the bridesmaids twirling umbrellas decorated with flowers. In England, the bride and the wedding party walked to the church together.

A young girl leads the procession scattering blossoms along the road so the Brides path through life would always be happy and filled with flowers.

A symbol of spring and renewed life, Peonies come in many colors and varieties, used as Centerpieces as well as Pew and Chair Decorations.

Luxuriant, long-petalled Orchids are exotic and fragrant, and an excellent choice for Wedding Bouquets as well as corsages for the bridal couple's mothers.

Lotus represents four virtues in the Buddhist religion as well as being the cornerstone of Asian flower culture.
