THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF
orchid

The most highly coveted of ornamental plants, the delicate, exotic and graceful orchid represents love, luxury, beauty and strength. In ancient Greece, orchids were associated with virility. In fact, Greek women believed that if the father of their unborn child ate large, new orchid tubers, the baby would be a boy. If the mother ate small orchid tubers, she would give birth to a girl.

During the Victorian era, orchid symbolism shifted to luxury, and today this sense of magnificence and artful splendor continues, with orchids representing rare and delicate beauty. The 14th wedding anniversary flower, pink orchids convey pure affection, and the popular cattelya orchid represents mature charm.

I haven’t done a board in quite some time, so when I came across this stunning fall wedding on John Rozier’s website…I couldn’t help myself. There was something so rich about the floral textures of this wedding.

Whether you choose a fall color palette or spring one…I think the key here is texture. Give depth to your flowers. Add a non flower item (feathers for example) or just some twigs to something soft and delicate.

When I look at these flowers I just want to go out and grab it. Touch it. Feel them. Induce curiousity in your wedding decor.
