Looking for a unique gift idea? Whether you
need a corporate gift, a wedding gift, birthday gift, romantic gift, a gift for him,
or a gift for her - it's at Nifty Cool Gifts!
For most wedding bouquets, roses are synonamous
with romance. Uma Thurman carried them, Heather
Mills carried them as she wed Paul McCartney,
and when former "Baywatch" actress Alicia Rickter
married New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza recently,
she carried a wedding bouquet of ivory roses.
And - when you order custom
roses for your wedding, you can have them
personalized with your names, your photo, or even
your wedding date.
Picture yourself walking through a garden with
every flower known to man. Will you choose fresh
roses, or a mixed
bouquet for your wedding bouquet?
Romantic History
of Wedding Bouquets
During the Victorian era, a book called "The
Language of Flowers" created a romantic language
for lovers to correspond with flowers.
Red and white roses sent together meant unity.
White flowers signified purity and red roses meant
true love. Pink roses signified grace, and lavender
flowers whispered of enchantment.
A captivated suitor might send a pink and purple
bouquet to say he is enchanted and compliment
her grace. Later, when the bride walked down the
aisle, red roses in her wedding bouquet declared
their love.
And, did you know that deep, deep almost-black
roses signified a bashful apology in the Victorian
era? Many men today follow the age old language
of flowers without even knowing why.
Whether you carry a wedding bouquet of fresh
roses, or a mixed
bouquet, the language of flowers and the
language of love have been synonamous since the
era of Victoriana.
From Wedding Bouquets
to Rose Petal Wishes
After saying 'I do,' one hundred and twenty
guests showered actress Alicia Rickter and New
York Mets catcher Mike Piazza with rose petals,
creating a fairy tale memory that a bride can
cherish forever.
Rose
petal dreams aren't just for celebrities
- according to florists, rose petals are growing
in popularity, filling the baskets of flower girls,
sprinkled down the aise, and even adorning the
tables at the wedding banquet.
