🌸 Say It With Flowers: How to Choose Wedding Flowers & Their Meanings

When you’re planning your wedding, there’s a lot to think about—venue, dress, seating charts, and making sure Uncle Bob doesn’t hog the dance floor. But one magical detail ties it all together: your wedding bouquet.

Your bouquet isn’t just a beautiful accessory; it’s a collection of blooms that can tell your love story without saying a word. Each flower has its own meaning, and choosing the right ones can make your bridal bouquet feel deeply personal.

At Beaux Faux Flowers, we believe that your bouquet should reflect your style and your story. Here’s our lighthearted guide to popular wedding flowers and their meanings—so you can choose the perfect petals for your big day.

🌹 Roses – The Timeless “I Love You” Flower

If roses were people, they’d be the royalty of romance.

• Red Roses: Passionate, romantic, and unforgettable—perfect for brides who want to make a statement.

• White Roses: Symbolising purity, innocence, and new beginnings (just like your marriage).

• Blush or Pink Roses: Grace, joy, and admiration—soft and dreamy for a romantic wedding look.

  
  

💐 Peonies – The Happily Ever After Bloom

Fluffy, full, and utterly luxurious, peonies symbolise prosperity, romance, and happy marriage. They’re basically the rom-com star of the flower world.

🌼 Daisies – The Sunshine Bloom

Cheerful and fresh, daisies stand for innocence and loyal love. They are perfect for outdoor weddings, rustic vibes, or couples who are always laughing together.

🪻 Lavender – The Calm in the Chaos

With its soothing scent and delicate look, lavender symbolises devotion, grace, and calmness. Bonus: it smells amazing in your bouquet and will help keep those wedding nerves in check.

🌷 Tulips – The Perfect Love Petal

Sleek and elegant, tulips carry the meaning of perfect love. They’re ideal for modern brides who still want plenty of romance in their bouquet.

🌸 Hydrangeas – The Grateful Heart Bloom

Full, lush, and photogenic, hydrangeas mean gratitude and understanding—two things every marriage needs in abundance. They also add beautiful texture to any wedding bouquet.

Why Flower Meanings Matter (and Why Faux Wins Every Time)

Choosing flowers with special meanings adds depth to your wedding bouquet—it becomes a sentimental keepsake, not just a photo prop.

And here’s where faux wedding flowers truly shine:

• They look perfect all day (no wilting halfway through your photos).

• They’re lightweight and easy to carry.

• You can keep your bouquet forever as a reminder of your wedding day.

The Perfect Bouquet for Your Wedding Day

When it comes to selecting your bouquet, think about the overall theme of your wedding. Are you going for a classic, elegant look or something more bohemian and free-spirited? The flowers you choose can enhance your theme and set the mood for your special day.

Consider Your Colour Palette

Your bouquet should complement your wedding colours. Whether you prefer soft pastels or vibrant hues, there’s a flower for every palette. Mixing and matching can create a stunning visual impact.

Personal Touches

Adding personal touches to your bouquet can make it even more special. Consider incorporating family heirlooms or unique elements that reflect your personality. This could be a special ribbon, a locket, or even a charm that holds sentimental value.

Seasonal Flowers

Choosing seasonal flowers can not only be cost-effective but also ensure that your bouquet is fresh and vibrant. Research what flowers are in season during your wedding month to make the best choices.

The Importance of Scent

Don't forget about the scent! The fragrance of your bouquet can evoke memories and emotions. Flowers like lavender and peonies not only look beautiful but also smell divine.
