Wedding Flowers

Origin

People have been using flowers in weddings for a very long time! Different cultures liked different flowers for what they meant. For example, Egyptians used them to show new beginnings and Romans liked them because they reminded them of love gods.

Characteristics

Today, flowers help make weddings feel special. Popular choices are roses (for love), lilies (meaning purity), and peonies (meaning happiness). When picking flowers, consider the wedding’s style, the time of year, and what you like best.

Care

Florists (people who sell flowers) can help keep your wedding flowers pretty all day. They’ll usually give you tips, but some general ones are to keep the stems in cold water and away from the sun. Florists might also use special tricks to make them last longer.
