The Bouquet..
So you’ve probably found ‘The Dress’ & decided upon a theme & colours for the day but now you’ve got to combine it all in a bouquet, buttonholes and flowers.
You may have a favourite flower but traditionally flowers were chosen for their symbolic meaning. Here’s just a few, it’s sweet to know what they symbolise!
Hydrangea – understanding
Lilac – first love
Gypsophila / Babies Breath – innocence
Anemone – expectation.
Daisy – share your feelings
Lily – truth & honour

Freesia – innocence
Magnolia – love of nature
