The most crucial aspect of wedding flowers is the selection of flower language, shape, color, and the correct use of flower varieties, usually dominated by roses, tulips, lilies, carnations, etc.
Rose
Red roses are generally used for marriage, symbolizing sincere feelings. Because red roses are the flowers specifically used to express love, they are the most widely used in wedding flower arrangements. Roses have a beautiful appearance and are known as the "Queen of Flowers." However, not all red rose varieties are good flower materials. The red roses used for weddings generally require large blooms, bright colors, beautiful shapes, long stems (35 to 45 cm), thick petals, such as the Wudan roses from Saudi Arabia and the red roses from the UK. The roses introduced in our country, such as Cardinal and Samantha (Samンダ), are unique in their elegant demeanor.
Tulip
Tulips are good materials for wedding flowers, often choosing red, yellow, purple, and white tulips. Red flowers symbolize a declaration of love; yellow flowers represent the arrival of love; purple flowers symbolize eternal love; white flowers represent the purity of love.
Lily
Lilies are widely used in wedding flowers, symbolizing "happiness for a hundred years" or "harmony in everything." The history of lily cultivation in our country is long and they are considered traditional auspicious flowers. Anciently, red lilies were called "mountain dan" and yellow lilies were called "fire king," as evidenced by Su Shi's poem: "Planting mountain dan in front of the hall, scattered like agate plates."
Carnation
Also known as spicy clove, the bright red and peach red carnations are among the best-selling flower varieties for weddings. The former symbolizes "love of a woman," while the latter's flower language is "love without cost." They are generally used for新娘 bouquets, boutonnieres, wedding flower baskets, flower cars, and new rooms.
Butterfly Orchid
Also known as orchid, the flower shape resembles a butterfly, with a beautiful appearance and graceful posture, overshadowing other flowers, known as the "Queen of Orchids." It is the main material for新娘 bouquets, head flowers, shoulder flowers, wrist flowers, and lapel flowers, with the flower meaning "I love you, elegant and refined, eternal youth."
Wedding flowers are complemented by fillers such as baby's breath, aspidistra, ivy, asparagus,万年青, cycad, caladium, and wedelia. These colorful flower materials add a warm atmosphere to the wedding of the new couple, blessing them with rich meanings for a harmonious life together, growing old together.
