wedding flowers

the meaning of flowers continued:



white roses - purity, innocence



delphiniums - ardent attachment




eryngium - believed in the 17th Century to be an aphrodisiac



purple roses - enchantment, permanence, enthrallment

heather - good luck



lavender - constancy



cala lillies - beauty







the idea was to match the Scottish landscapes, purple heathers, blue skies........ where are those blue skies?

  1. Blue skies or no, it's still spectacular! I'm packing my bags Right Now. (The flowers are stunning, too...)

  2. Those flowers are some of the most gorgeous wedding bouquets I've ever seen. So original.

    Gorgeous lilacs and blues - even without the skies to match!
