Wedding Flowers

Flower Meanings

If you’re having trouble choosing your wedding flowers you may want to choose flowers that have a special meaning. Or perhaps you want to give flowers to people for a special meaning. My name in Chinese uses the word for ‘orchid’, and my fiancé is Chinese so I’ve arranged for orchids in my bouquet and orchids for my fiancé's boutonniere.
