Wedding Reception Flowers
Decorations with Meaning - Choosing Flowers for Your Wedding Reception
If there was ever a day when sentiment should hold sway, your
wedding day is the one. You plan meaning into everything, from the
rings you choose to symbolize your love, to the vows you exchange,
to the garter slipped beneath your gown. Why not extend that to
the flowers you choose to decorate your reception hall?
If you choose your wedding reception flowers with an eye to the
traditional floral meanings, your wedding reception decorations
will not only be beautiful, they'll have a beautiful meaning that
you can treasure.
Not sure what the various flowers mean? Try a few of these
combinations chosen for their meanings and appearance in wedding
centerpiece arrangements and wedding table or wall decorations.
Love, Joy and Fidelity
In the traditional language of flowers, pale pink and yellow roses
represent joy. Baby's breath, with its tiny, feathery white
flowers, means everlasting love, making it a natural for inclusion
in wedding flowers, and ivy stands for fidelity.
For a romantic wedding reception centerpiece decoration, create a
floral topiary tree topped with baby pink and pale yellow roses.
Twine the wooden stem with ivy, and tuck sprigs of baby's breath
in among the leaves to wish the bride and groom an everlasting
love.
Luck, Love and Family
Add some extra meaning to an
Asian themed wedding
by including white orchids in the flower arrangements. The lovely,
delicate flowers traditionally stand for many children, a blessing
for the happy couple. Arrange several in a tall black vase with
camellias for luck and orange blossoms for eternal love and enjoy
the fact that even the flowers on your wedding tables contribute
to the good wishes on your wedding day.
Loyal Love, Shelter and Confidence
If you've decided on wildflowers for a simple
garden wedding, be sure to
include daisies in the wedding table arrangements. They stand for
loyal love, something every couple wishes for on their wedding
day. Tuck them into an arrangement of fresh, feathery ferns to
represent the shelter of the happy couple's love, and the
confidence they have in each other.
Success, Wealth and a Happy Marriage
For dramatic wedding table decorations that add special meaning to
your wedding reception flowers, combine red peonies with yellow
poppies and tiger lilies. The vibrantly colored blossoms are the
perfect contrast against a waterfall of gleaming green ivy, the
traditional symbol of a happy marriage.
Perseverance, Joy and Wedded Bliss
A lovely arrangement for a Southern plantation wedding could
combine magnolias, gardenias and lily-of-the-valley for graceful
centerpieces with antebellum charm. An added bonus is that your
reception decorations will smell as sweet as they look.
Besides the wedding reception centerpiece flowers, here's a
handful of decorating ideas that incorporate flowers with special
meanings:
Wrap napkins with ribbon rings, and tuck a single pink rosebud
with a sprig of baby's breath into each ribbon. The message is
everlasting love.
Top your wedding cake with a spray of white orchids and ivy to
symbolize fidelity and perfect love.
Twine ivy and white roses around pillars or archways to represent
fidelity and wedded bliss.
