In times past, certain flowers were given to friends, sweethearts, and spouses depending upon the meaning of the flower. These days, flowers are more often chosen for their colors and styles rather than their meanings, but finding flowers with important symbolism can be fun and interesting. Choose these flowers based on what you want to express during your wedding.
