Meaning of Wedding Flowers

Flowers have had certain meanings attached to them since the days of ancient Greece and Rome. The Victorians used flowers to express emotions like deep love and flower dictionaries became quite popular during the Victorian period.

Using flowers to express emotions has become popular once again. Here are some flowers and the emotions they are met to evoke:

Ambrosia - returned love

Bachelor's Buttons - devotion, hope and love

Carnations - fidelity and love

Chrysanthemums - love and truth

Daisies - innocence

Dittany of Crete - passion
