Wedding Flower Traditions

Wedding traditions are only as important as each individual couple wants to make them. However, there are wedding traditions that have stood the test of time, which many couples want to include in their wedding celebrations. So as experienced wedding florists we are taking a look at those traditions that include floral elements.

Many blooms included in weddings have meanings that go back many years, and have stories and reasons why they are included, here are a few of our floral favourites.

The Bridal Bouquet – The bouquet goes back to Greek and Roman times when flowers were held to help ward off bad luck! These started as floral garlands which symbolised fertility, and included herbs such as rosemary for loyalty, dill as an aphrodisiac, and ivy to represent their new unbreakable bond. Modern bouquets are a throw back to the Victorian era, where the flowers were the language of love and so the blooms were chosen with great care.
