The language of flowers: What your wedding blooms really say

Long before they adorned grand wedding aisles and lavish reception tables, blooms were chosen for their meaning, each petal and stem a quiet messenger of the heart. Today while we delight in their beauty, the symbolism of flowers still lingers, adding depth and romance to the choices you make for your wedding day.

Roses: The eternal expression of love

A classic for a reason, roses speak of passion, purity and timeless devotion. White roses embody

innocence and new beginnings, while blush and soft pink roses express grace, admiration and gentle

romance. For couples seeking timeless elegance, roses remain the most powerful storytellers.

Peonies: Prosperity and Joy

Luxurious, full, and utterly romantic, peonies are often associated with prosperity, a happy marriage

and good fortune. Their lush blooms make them a favourite for couples dreaming of abundant

arrangements that feel both opulent and heartfelt.

Orchids: Sophistication and strength

Exotic and refined, orchids symbolise strength, luxury and beauty. They bring a modern, sculptural

elegance to floral design, perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel sophisticated and striking.

Hydrangeas: Gratitude and harmony

With their full clusters of petals, Hydrangeas represent heartfelt emotions, gratitude and unity, they

add texture and volume to arrangements, offering both romance and presence.

Delphiniums: Positivity and new possibilities

Towering and graceful, Delphiniums symbolise lightness, joy and new opportunities – making them

an exquisite choice for couples stepping into their new chapter together. Their tall, elegant stems

bring height and movement into arrangements, often adding a sense of drama while still feeling

whimsical and romantic.

When you're choosing your wedding flowers, you’re not just selecting colours and textures, you're

weaving layers of meaning into your celebration. Each Bloom has a voice, a story and a significance

that lingers long after your dream wedding.
