Wild Flowers (Flower bouquet)

Tip! Your motif. Choose flowers that match the theme and color scheme of your wedding.

Wild flowers are Nature’s miracle of miracles. They bring color, perfume, and distinction to the diverse environments in which they grow.

Wildflowers, however, can be as ecologically devastating as they are beautiful. Some wildflowers are native to the countries in which they are found. Others are migratory transplants, introduced either accidentally or purposefully into new landscapes. Wildflowers are often ecological opportunists, capable of proliferating in a wide variety of environments, sometimes at the expense of less-hardy indigenous plant species.

Tip! When using flowers such as poppy or hollyhock, cut the stems and put the blooms into water immediately. If you wait, they produce a milky sap that will dry and seal up the end of the stalk so that it can’t absorb the water.

Unexpected loss is fraught with deep emotions that words can barely express. To help families cope with the shock and agony, flowers offer comfort and express sympathy.

Manners and methods of conveying sympathy vary through countries, cultures and religions, but flowers remain fitting tributes to a departed soul. Displayed during the funeral service and remaining after the ceremony, flowers act as aromatic reminders of the departed member who so enriched life’s journey with an inimitable presence.

Flower edwards - Flowers

Tip! Don’t overcrowd your flowers. Leave room around the stems so that each flower can get the moisture it needs.

Flower connotations have blurred through history but they best evoke the irrepressible, without offending or rejecting. Every flower has a name and meaning that works in the right color and numbers. If you are mad about someone, furious with another, soothed by a third and celebrating with the fourth, flowers can speak for you at every instance. Do your homework and use the right flower. These non-verbal articulations save you more time, energy and reams of crumpled paper.
