Flowers can be seen as a measure of beauty and sometimes much more. The right flower given at the right time can make a woman (or man) feel special, while conveying deep love and emotion from the giver for the person who is receiving.

There are many stories in history about how flowers have taken on a high level in society. In 17th century Holland, tulip bulbs were in fact more valuable than gold. The flower symbolized immortality, life, and love. And it wasn’t just Holland. In the 1630s, tulip mania took over Western Europe to the point that tulips became so expensive that they were treated as a form of currency.

Flowers seem present on almost all occasions where an important date is marking some kind of love. Deciding what wedding flowers to choose can be an arduous task, while 73% of flowers are bought by men on Valentine’s day. In addition, $1.9 billion is spent on flowers for mothers on mother’s day.

There are many different attributes and opinions given to someone who sends flowers according to survey respondents. They include sophisticated (89%) and thoughtful (99%). Those who receive flowers in turn say that receiving flowers makes them feel special (89%) and changes their mood for the better (88%). 92% say they remember the last time they received flowers.

Wedding table flowers are a central part to any table arrangement or centerpiece. There are many different flower options to choose from. They can include roses, irises, daisies, and lilacs among many others. The wedding centerpiece can have numerous presentations but overall it should reflect the desires of the bride and the groom in finding the wedding table flowers that they want.

When choosing wedding table flowers, it is possible to consider the symbolism of the flower as well as the color. For instance, just within carnations, red symbolizes deep love, white symbolizes pure love, and yellow symbolizes dejection. A red rose held in hand is supposed to symbolize socialism or socialist democracy. In Russia, red tulips were used to declare undying love.

It is also important that when flowers are being given, that the right arrangement and type are chosen. While flowers in general are considered a romantic gift, one that presents the giver as thoughtful and sophisticated, the wrong type of flower might be suitable but not have the impact that the giver might want.

Finding a good florist can help dispel those apprehensions of possibly picking the wrong flower arrangement. Generally, florists will help a giver find the right bouquet and can even have it be delivered to a loved one.

And for those looking for a florist to help with a wedding, there are many that work with wedding flower arrangements, inexpensive wedding flowers, or seasonal options like fall flower arrangements.
