Spring

Imagine standing in a beautiful garden underneath a strikingly decorated trellis looking into the eyes of your partner. Smelling fresh cut flowers and listening to the birds chirp. Can you feel the warmth of the sun as it shines down on you? What colors do you think of when you envision a spring wedding? Spring is a time of growth and colors like green, light purple, white, and yellow. When you plan your wedding make sure you take a look at our beautiful flowers such as cymbidium orchids green overnight, golden yellow calla lily, daffodil white fresh cut flowers, and lavender freesia flower.

Summer

Have you ever thought about standing on the beach feeling the sand in between your toes as you enter another chapter in your life? There is nothing more intoxicating then hearing the waves of the ocean or feeling the breeze blow through your hair while saying your vows. In thinking about summer, envision intensely sharp and lively flowers such as organic bright sorbet rose petals, stargazer oriental lilies, and mini gerbera orange daisies.

Fall

Leaves, leaves, and leaves. Fall is a time when you gaze up into the sky and notice that the trees are losing their leaves. The days get shorter and the temperatures get cooler. Maybe you plan on getting married in the mountains overlooking the changing colors of nature or standing on the deck of a log cabin listening to the water trickle in the distance down a creek. Wherever your dream wedding may take place in the fall, make sure you have fresh flowers such as safari sunset fresh fall greens, burgundy and yellow novelty flower, ring of fire sunflowers, and dark orange roses.

Winter

Hot chocolate, snowmen, skiing, and watching the snow fall as you snuggle under a blanket with you partner, are just a few of the great aspects surrounding winter. Standing in a lodge in front of a beautiful fireplace is an intimate setting for your wedding. Fresh flowers will surely enhance the cold temperatures existing outside, but the overwhelming love inside during your ceremony. Make sure you consider some of our flowers as you plan your winter wedding: latin lady red and white rose, fresh gardenia wedding flower, and peonies pink sarah bernhardt flower.

Fiftyflowers.com is always here to assist you in your selection of fresh cut flowers for your wedding no matter what time of year.

There are several pre-ceremony events that take place, like the engagement and the holy bathing, but let’s talk about the actual ceremony part. First, the bride’s parents wash the groom’s feet treating him as a Lord, and then offer their daughter as a gift to him. Then the groom will tie thread to the bride’s neck three times, representing three gods, the creator, continuer and destructor.

Then both the bride and groom take seven steps around a fire together while reciting several mantras (Hindu prayers). The bride and groom will then take vows that state that they will be together their entire life no matter what, and during these vows, the brides hand is in the groom’s hand. Afterwards, the tying of the knot takes place, which literally involves tying, and that is the tying of the bottom of the brides Sari (traditional dress) and the upper garment of the groom. This signifies the strong bond between the newly wed couple. Then the father of the bride asks the groom to be with his daughter for the rest of his life, and to support her religiously, morally, financially, earthly and finally eternally.

Then unbroken rice which is mixed in turmeric is sprinkled on the bride’s and groom’s head. The turmeric represents gold and the unbroken rice parallels rice flourishing with a flourishing marriage. Then there is an exchange of garlands, representing communication between the newly weds. There is a reception afterwards with entertainment, food and beverage. All guests and participants wear very bright colors; the bride traditionally must wear red. Flowers are all over any Indian wedding, they represent the beauty of unity. Mostly roses and the dispersing of rose petals is the typical flower to adorn any Indian wedding.

Orchids will be shipped with water tubes or wet packs to ensure hydration during shipping. When flowers are delivered, flowers may be left flowers standing upright with the stems in water in the water tubes or in a container filled with fresh water until arranging.

Cold temperatures do not suit orchids, therefore refrigeration is discouraged. Optimal temperature for orchids is 18C or 65F.

Our customer’s order included white and purple carnations, lavender roses, hypericum berries, rose petals, and for greens leather leaf and lily grass. She used these flowers to create 1 bridal bouquet, 7 bridesmaids’ bouquets, 12 boutonnieres, 5 corsages, centerpieces for her wedding reception as well as ceremony arrangements.

For the bridesmaids’ bouquets lavender roses were first arranged followed by white carnations. The bride’s bouquet was a very elegant and striking combination of carnations and roses: 10 lavender roses were followed by white carnations and, to add the finish look, a round of lavender carnations was used as well. For the groom’s boutonniere, a carefully selected lavender rose was chosen as it combined perfectly with the bride’s bouquet.

Loretta’s guest complimented her widely on her stunning wedding arrangements; most of them assumed they were professionally made by florists. However, Loretta mentions, “I got so many compliments on my florist, but little did people know, I was the florist!”

Thank you Loretta for your kind words, your wonderful pictures, and for trusting in Fiftyflowers.com!
