Carnations Are Great For Any Occasion
February 21st, 2006 Posted in Wedding Planning and Ideas
Carnations express love, fascination, and distinction.
Carnations are worn on special occasions, such as weddings and holidays. They are often worn on these special days to signify the woman wearing them is ’special’ on that day.
The mother of the bride often wears a carnation proudly on her daughter’s wedding days. On Mother’s Day, many churches present each mother a carnation to wear.
Carnations are a simple way of recognizing someone special.
You can also send carnations to someone special. The great thing about carnations is that they come in many different colors so you have a wide variety from which to make your selection!
A few color tips:
Pink has been used to represent an undying love, particularly a mother’s love.
Green carnations are fun to send on St. Patrick’s Day.
White carnations (like roses) can signify remembrance.
Purple carnations can mean unpredictability or capriciousness.
You can use these meanings to help you choose the right carnations or you can create your own.
If you buy several colors, you can send that special lady a vibrant mix, just to brighten their day.
