Carnations are called “The flowers of God” and the reason is both scientific and religious. The scientific name of these flowers is “Dianthus” that comes from two Greek words “dios” that refers to the god Zeus and “anthos” that means flower. They also make part of a Christian legend that says carnations first appeared on Earth when Jesus carried the Cross. From where Virgin Mary’s tears fell a carnation would suddenly sprang up. That’s one of the reasons why carnations are also known as a symbol of a mother’s never-ending love.

Besides their symbolic meaning, there are many other reasons to consider carnations as a good option for any event or simply as a gift. These flowers are available year around so no matter when you need them you will always be able to get them. They come in all imaginable colors and there are even bicolor varieties and all natural. They don’t need to be tinted to have just the perfect color you wanted to use. And last but not least, they are one of the strongest flowers out there and have the longest vase life.

But if words are not enough, take a look at some of the wonderful things that can be done with these humble flowers before you say “no” to your florist when she suggests them as an option. The amazing look they have when bunched together would make anybody think twice before saying you used “cheap flowers” for your wedding.

In some countries, the history and role wedding flowers have remained until our days and many practices continue to be performed. Here are some of traditions that are still important elements of every wedding, and not only in the countries where they originally appeared. Some of them are also the base of traditions we currently follow worldwide.

• Germany: both the bride and groom hold candles with flowers and ribbons tied to them during the ceremony.

• Sweden: the bridesmaids carry little bouquets of aromatic herbs.

• Austria: the brides crown their veils with the flowers of life.

• England: the bride and her bridesmaids walk to the church together. A little girl would lead them to the church while sprinkling flowers along the path. This tradition prevails in modern weddings with the “flower girls”.

• India: the groom’s brother sprinkles flower rose petals over the bride and groom at the end of the wedding ceremony to help ward of any evil spirits.

Starting in the form of herbs and spices, flowers have always been an important element to weddings. Not only for their undeniable beauty but also for the historical significance they have and their symbolic meanings. No matter how “non-traditionalistic” we consider ourselves we would love to have a wedding full of roses, orchids, tulips, peonies, hydrangeas, ranunculus, freesias, dahlias or any other type of flower we like.

Fresh rose petals have been traditionally carried by the flower girl down the aisle. Nothing is more charming that watching an innocent little girl sprinkle rose petals as she is walking! Fresh rose petals add an elegant touch to the aisle and to the ceremony. In order to add more detail, why not add a basket made out of flowers as well? Small blooms such as daisies and poms are wonderful additions to a flower basket, which can be easily attached to the outside of the basket with floral adhesive. For sparkle, compliment the flowers with feathers, butterflies or special objects.

A pomander can also be a nice flower addition as it is simple yet elegant. The big plus: it is easy and light for the little one to carry. Normally a small round ball of flowers, the most convenient flowers to use are poms, daisies, spray roses and even freesia!

If you are going for a more modern approach, a petite hand bouquet made with similar blooms as the ones used in the bride’s bouquet is always a good choice. The size of the bouquet should be proportional to the size of the flower girl for a uniform look. If your flower girl would like something special and unique, you can provide her with a wand cover with flowers. Not only will she feel like a fairy, but she would look like one too! This nice look can be complemented with hair wreaths, which can be made out of the same flowers used for the wand.

A flower girl will always look lovely. Choose the best flowers to make her feel special and to add that sparkle to the most important day of your life.

The bridal bouquet was originated in ancient Greece; it was carried by the bride to scare off evil spirits while she walked down the aisle. Upon arriving to the arms of her groom, she would toss her bouquet to spread good fortune to the other single ladies. The Greeks also utilized special herbs and flowers in wreaths for the celebration, which were worn by members of the family as a sign of respect.

During the Victorian era, flowers developed special meanings to lovers and many blooms became wedding favorites. The rose represented love and passion, whereas lilies became a sign for purity. Dutch tulips became very popular as well and were portrayed in many important events. New styles were also created such as the posy and the biedermeir, which became a hit among young brides.

Nowadays, the bridal bouquets are composed mainly of fresh flowers in the color scheme of the affair. Popular wedding flowers include roses, lilies, mini callas, hydrangeas and peonies. For exotic affairs, orchids are the favorite blooms chosen by brides. Fragrant flowers such as garden roses, freesias, lilacs and have been part of wonderfully scented bouquets. The styles have also changed, and now hand tied, cascading and nosegay bouquets are very popular.

Bridal bouquets are one of the most important details of a wedding, and one of the most meaningful. Buy your bulk wedding flowers are www.Fiftyflowers.com.

For this reason, a careful plan should be developed when deciding upon and coordinating this bouquet. Blooms should be chosen based on the taste of the bride and on the meaning they convey. Other important details such as ribbon and pins can make a bouquet pop, and should be planned as well. These small details can make a big difference, and they can help achieve that personal and unique look all brides desire.

A bridesmaid’s bouquet is a gift a bride presents to honor and thank her bridesmaid. It may have similar blooms as the bride’s bouquet, but normally, it will be smaller. When arranging the bouquets, there is a guideline to follow: the bridesmaid’s bouquet should have about half of the stems used for the bride’s bouquet. This applies particularly when using the same blooms in both bouquets. Another way to differentiate both bouquets is to use different focal flowers but the same filler flowers. This can also be cost effective, and will make the bride stand out from the rest of her wedding party. Also, number of stems can be selected depending on the look the bride wants for her event. If the bride prefers, a single stem can be carried by the bridesmaid down the aisle, as it reflects simplicity yet elegance.

Flower bouquets are one of the easiest ways to incorporate a desired look and feel to an event. They distinguish the important people in the affair, and fully complement their looks. When planning for the bouquets, let your imagination fly!

All of the flowers that you use to make your bouquet can be found on www.Fiftyflowers.com.

You will need:

• 25 red Roses.
• Bunch of Leather leaf
• of Baby’s breath
• 10 shoots of Lily grass
• Long vase with an opening of 5 to 6 inches.

Tip: Use the Simple 25 Rose Wedding Combo Pack, available at www.Fiftyflowers.com to make this arrangement!

The first step is to fill about three quarters of the vase with fresh, cool, clean water. Flower food may be added to extend the vase life of your arrangement.

To create the arrangement, put leather leaf inside the vase, creating a “mat” where the rest of the flowers will sit on. Try to cover the whole opening of the vase to ensure there are no empty spots. Baby’s breath is next. All the 7 stems should go inside the vase.

Now, comes the fun part: start putting the roses in! The first rose should be placed in the middle of the baby’s breath, which should coincide with the center of the vase. Put 4 roses in the corners of the vase (picture that the 4 roses should form a square if a line is drawn in between them.) This is the skeleton of your arrangement. Continue placing roses in between these 5 roses as desired. To add a finished look, put the lily grass shoots in between the flowers.

Keep in mind that the stems of the Baby’s breath should be cut around 2 and half inches shorter than the roses’ stems. This will make the heads of the roses pop and be more visible.

Creating a stunning arrangement in minutes can be very easy! Put your skills to the test and enjoy creating this romantic arrangement.

Red roses are, and will be, one of the most cherished gifts for that special lady. Neither the beauty nor the meaning of a red rose can be easily matched, as it represents the essence of respect, love and devotion since way back from the Victorian era. One bloom will symbolize simplicity and gratitude, whereas a small bouquet will let her know you love her.

Valentine Flower arrangements are also great choices for this magical day, as it can have flowers that have special meanings for the couple. Arrangements that have roses in multiple colors can have various connotations such as friendship and beauty. Gerbera daisies are ideal for fun, energetic people, while mini callas can be used to express elegance, style and admiration. One arrangement place strategically in a focal point during dinner can be very useful, as its beauty will create the ambiance for romance.

As always, a nice compliment for flowers is chocolates! Chocolates are excellent options to spice things up during that passionate evening. Either smothered on top of strawberries, or hand made, scrumptious truffles, chocolates will fill the date with pleasure.

When the special day comes, remember that a rose, a flower arrangement and a box of chocolates can tell the girl of your dreams how you feel about her. Do not let this opportunity pass, and start planning that loving evening!
