Have you thought about your wedding flowers and the recent trends? Let me take you into the world of top wedding flower trends in 2020.
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” – Buddha
There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature’s wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
–The Language of Flowers, London, 1875
Celebrate with flowers
Every occasion we walk into has flowers included. We celebrate love with the giving of flowers to each other. We celebrate happy and sad events with the use of flowers. They evoke and lend themselves to us, filling our souls with scents and feelings that are as unique as the flower itself.
Luther Burbank said, “Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.”As a Celebrant, I have the pleasure in delighting in the presence of flowers for all occasions.
The heady scents of love as a Bride walks her walk towards the love of her life. The flower girls were throwing petals of love for each step, the buttonhole of the groom and bridal party carefully placed and chosen to represent the unique qualities and traditions of the families depicted.
A room that is full of grief and sadness with the comfort of beautiful flowers lovingly with respect placed upon a casket. A feeling of personal connection each guest attending places a single flower or a sprig of rosemary, the herb of remembrance onto the coffin as a final touch or contact with the deceased and the love left with them.
Fill a room full of laughter and flowers adorning the birthday celebration, a baby naming or a vow renewal all these occasions incorporating the favourite flowers of the one who everyone is honouring.
Let’s face it a world without the wondrous fragrance and beauty of flowers and herbs would be a lot more difficult to bear.
With so many to choose from what Flowers do you include in your celebrations in 2020?
