T is for Tulip

Tulips are a beautiful choice for your wedding bouquet. They not too romance, not too elegant, and not too creative...it's just right! What's even better is that the meaning of tulip is perfect love. What else needs to be said on your wedding day except we've found perfect love?

Sunflowers

Sunflowers mean adoration and devotion. If you want to show that you adore and are devoted to your soon-to-be, they make the perfect choice for your wedding flower.

Stop to Smell the Roses

With all the different flower choices available for brides to decide from, you could spend a lot of time just selecting what flowers to use. But I say, sometimes you just need to stop and smell the roses! Okay...okay, so I wasn't the first person to say it, I know. I am just the one reminding you.
Let's face it, roses are romantic and elegant. A bride can not go wrong with roses as her choice. They come in many different colors and are available year round. Roses mean love and passion, which is exactly what you need for a marriage to last a lifetime.

Peony

The peony, to me is truly the definition of romance. So when it came time for the letter P in our flower meaning series, of course I had to pick the peony. It has a large full bud. As you can see from the picture above, it is beautiful closed up or fully open.
Peonies are known to mean happy marriage. So it's the perfect choice for wedding flowers.

Some of the meanings of orchids are love, affection, beauty, and refinement. It is a great choice as one of your wedding flowers, but it is beautiful enough to stand alone like seen here.

Isn't this a beautiful bouquet? It's made of dahlias, which come in hundreds of varieties and an endless choice of colors. It is a great summer wedding flower.

The dahlia is a native plant of Mexico, Central America, and Columbia. The meaning of the dahlia is dignity and elegance.

Calla Lily

C is for calla lily of course. By far my favorite flower. I carried a similar bouquet to this one, except that it was white, when I walked down the aisle thirteen years ago to my wonderful husband.
Since purple is one of my favorite colors, I decided to show you how beautiful they can be in this royal color. In fact calla lily means magnificent beauty. I agree. Don't you?

Bells of Ireland

The first time I saw these flowers my eyes got very big. I had to find out what these unique long stemmed green flowers were called. They are called Bells of Ireland and they mean good luck.



They are paired with two of my favorite flowers in this unique bride's bouquet. As you can see, they add a dramatic effect.

Anemone

This is the first post of our new Flower Meanings series. So we decided to start at the beginning of the alphabet with the letter A. We selected the beautiful Anemone. Anemone means to forsake or forsaken.

This is a clean tight centered flower and it would work well if your colors are black and white. Perfect for the bride ready to take her vow to "Forsake all others."
