Wedding Flower Meanings

Flowers are also associated with folklore in other ways. In the Victorian era, men sent flowers with special meanings to women as a means of communication. Back then, the meanings of flowers were common knowledge. These days it’s more acceptable for a man to just come out and tell a woman how he feels, and these meanings are not as well known.

Knowing the meanings of different flowers can help you choose the best ones for your wedding day. Following are the traditional meanings of some of the more popular wedding flowers.

Roses

Roses are very popular flowers associated with romance, so it is fitting that they are often used in weddings. Specific meanings vary by color. Red roses are known as symbols of love, pink ones symbolize elegance and admiration, and white roses represent innocence and purity. Yellow roses are associated with friendship and joy, orange roses represent enthusiasm and passion, and lavender roses symbolize love at first sight.
