Flowers can never be absent in a wedding
Silent, fragile, gentle, flowers are the quiet witnesses of your wedding day
A little bit of wedding flowers history
The practice of decorating the bride with flowers is ancient and started in the Arabic society. Brides-to-be on their wedding day were adorned with the white and gentle orange flowers symbolizing fertility. This habit, started as a wish, or better a good omen for the bride to have many children.
In Italy this tradition started between 600 and 800 AD during the Moors invasions in Sicily. Though the symbolic meaning of the bouquet changed to represent pureness and naïveté of the bride-to-be.
Wedding flowers today
Nowadays flowers and bouquet has changed again according to local traditions. This is why in Italy you will likely see weddings with white as a predominant colour in flowers, and white roses are very much the first choice for their meaning of pureness and fidelity. This is not at all a rule and more and more frequently we see weddings with very coloured flowers which reflect the season and style of the wedding.
Whichever flowers, they remain the foundation to create the right atmosphere of such a magical day.
Flowers are to be used to adorn the church, the wedding table, the feast and obviously the bride, without exaggerating and sticking to the seasonality, style of the wedding, of the couple and ...never forget, personal taste!
