The Language of Flowers

As you begin making decisions about flowers, you might incorporate those that have special traditional meaning. In the early 1900s romance was often communicated with flowers.
A young man would present a red rose, which symbolized love, to a young woman.
She would return a purple pansy, which silently relayed the message "You are in my thoughts."
Traditionally no words were spoken that would commit either party during this courtship, so knowing the language of flowers was of paramount importance if an accord was to be reached. Today it is a charming idea to select flowers, and even herbs, that convey special floral messages between the bride and the groom.
