Incorporating flowers with meaning is a great way to add a little something special to your wedding.  If your mom always grew gladiolas maybe you would want to incorporate those in your alter pieces, did your fiance bring you tulips for your first date? Why not include some in your bouquet?

Here are some hidden meaning of flowers:

Allium - good fortune

Amaryllis- pride

Anemone- abandonment (surpsing for such a cutie!)

Anthuruim- attraction (hmmmm)

Aster- beginnings

Chrysanthemum- hope

Crocus- youthful

Daffodil- chivalry

Daisy- innocence

Delphinium- swiftness

Dogwood- endurance

Freesia- calm

Gardenia- grace

Gerbera- purity

Hyacinth- young love

Hydrangea- boastful

Lily- virtue

Orchid- ecstasy (40 days and 40 nights comes to mind!)

Poppy- dreams

Ranunculus- charm (I must agree!)

Rosemary- rememberance

Tulip- hopeless love (tell me about it)

So that above bouquet- turns out it's erotcially boastful! Who knew!?!
