[Did you know...]
Flowers have played a meaningful part in weddings for a very long time, with the earliest record of the tradition dating back to the ancient Greeks. Often combined with fruit or other plants, brides initially wore flowers as garland wreaths on their heads and later on as a hand bouquet. The flowers and plants used to create a bouquet were also significant as they carried a special meaning or purpose. For example, the ancient Greeks would often include garlic bulbs to bouquets as they thought it would be the best way to ward the newlywed couple of evil spirits, while Ivy was also prominent as they believed it represented enduring love.
To assist you in choosing the perfect blooms for your special day, Home Life have compiled beautiful galleries of wedding flowers for every month of the year with their special meanings and how to use them best.
