Wedding Bouquets

Flowers and their meanings

  The best place to begin your planning would be to choose the style of the Bride’s bouquet. 
This will then set the whole theme and style for the bridal party as well as the arrangements for the reception and the ceremony.

  The origins of the Bride’s bouquet are from ancient beliefs that strong smelling spices and herbs, including garlic and onions, protected the bridal party from bad luck, ill health and evil spirits.

Then in later years, according to Roman wedding traditions, decorating the bride and groom in flowers were a symbol of fertility.
The Greeks and Romans began the custom of throwing flowers at the feet of the couple as they walked in the hope of granting them everlasting love.
A lot of these very old traditions are still practiced today. 

 We still have flower girls strewing petals in front of the Bride as she makes her way to the Altar to marry her beloved.

  Some couples are influenced in their choice of floral arrangements by the old traditions practiced by the Romans and Greeks and others choose flowers because of the meanings associated with them.

Floral Calendar

This is a general rule but some of these flowers can be obtained at different times of the year also.  Choose a season to see which Flora Weddings in Lanzarote recommend.

To give you a little more inspiration I have prepared a list of the most popular flowers and greenery and their meanings.

Remember the perfect bouquet is the one that you want for your special day.
Follow your dream, that’s the first step and go with what your heart tells you. Flowers are a significant aspect of any wedding. Ideally, the groom should wear a flower that appears in the bridal bouquet in his button-hole.
This stems from medieval times, when a knight wore his Lady's colours as a declaration of his love.
