More Than A Flower: The Freesia

We look deeper into the flower and find its personality. This helps with clients who are indecisive about their floral plan.  It also adds an extra special dimension knowing that your flowers are a reflection of you!! Continuing with our "More Than A Flower" series, we feature the "Freesia"!! 

It’s a wonderful flower to show appreciation to a trusted friend, in return for an act of kindness. The 7th wedding anniversary flower, in the language of flowers, freesia are said to symbolize innocence, friendship, and thoughtfulness.

The freesia originated from South Africa and is a newcomer to the western world. It was almost unknown until the 1950’s, but it is now one of the most sought after cut flowers. Its popularity is linked to the flower’s fragrance and the small delicate blooms.

As much as for the beauty and grace of the blossoms, freesias are enjoyed for the light, sweet fragrance. These flowers are perfect for wedding bouquets, headdresses, corsages, and boutonnieres or you can add fragrance to a room in your home! The most popular freesia varieties are called Ballerina.

Thanks to its meaning of sweetness and innocence, it has become a common flower given to a new mother to welcome a new baby, the sweetest and most innocent thing in the entire world.

Inspiration: Napa Valley in the Carolinas!!

Napa Valley inspired outdoor wedding and ceremony. Casual and relaxed atmosphere, however, bride's style and class was not diminished. White sparkling wine, lemon drop martinis serve as the couple's signature beverage. The bride carried yellow orchids to add a pop of color to her celery and cream decor.

 

More Than A Flower: Gladiolus

Since we are in the month of AUGUST, what better flower to feature than the glorious gladiolus, the official flower of this month.

Symbolizing strength and moral integrity, the flower's meaning is graceful; strong sense of character and the word Gladiolus is Latin for "sword". Striking and colorful with towering stems this flower evokes the drama of Roman gladiators.

The gladiolus, sometimes called the Sword Lily has some great attributes that makes them popular for bouquets. You can find them in lots of colors such as pink, red, white, orange, yellow, purple, and bi-color. They are available year round, and because they are on a long stem, you get varied type of blooms.

It's an excellent choice to use as a centerpiece to enhance your reception tables, especially at an outdoor wedding where the blossoms can perfume the air.
