Flowers for the Superstitious Bride

Bonjour mes amis,
Whether you've adopted them or not, superstitions have long been a part of weddings. It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before she walks down the aisle; For good luck the bride should have something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue; The "single lady" (hello Beyonce reference!) who catches the bride's bouquet will be the next to wed.
The list goes on...
Being surrounded by beautiful blooms in Spring I've been thinking about flowers much more than usual so to further fuel the superstitious fire, here's a few popular flowers and their meanings.
Tulip - love & passion

Sweet Peas - pleasure

Rose - love, joy & beauty

Roses - love, joy & beauty

Peony - bashful with a spirit of ambition & determination

Lavender - devotion

Chrysanthemum - wealth, abundance & truth

Anemone - unfading love
arrangement by Palais Floral
Beware, some flowers aren't as sweet as they may appear. Some to be cautious of are:
Striped Carnation - refusal
Red Poppy -consolation
Choose wisely...
