💐 Hold Love in Bloom
What Your Bridal Bouquet Really Means, And Why It Still Matters in 2025
Dear Bride-to-Be,
Your bouquet is more than a beautiful bundle of blooms; it’s a powerful symbol you carry
into one of the most sacred moments of your life. When you walk down the aisle, every
petal tells part of your love story. And yes, it matters.
🌷Why You Carry Flowers: A Tradition with Meaning
Long before wedding Pinterest boards, brides
used to hold herbs and blooms for spiritual
protection, blessings of fertility, and to
symbolize new beginnings. In ancient Rome,
brides walked with olive branches and
rosemary. In Greece, ivy represented eternal
love. During the Victorian era, flowers gained
significance, giving rise to the language of
flowers, known as floriography. That’s where
your bouquet began to speak.
When you hold your bouquet, you’re holding
centuries of tradition, and your own hopes for
love, joy, and forever.
What Your Flowers Say About You
In 2025, florals are deeply personal. Think of
your bouquet as a curated reflection of your
spirit. Are you drawn to romantic peonies? Wild
garden roses? Tropical orchids? Every choice
speaks. For example:
Roses: Classic romance
Peonies: Prosperity and a happy marriage
Calla Lilies: Elegance and strength
Baby’s Breath: Purity and everlasting love
Eucalyptus: Healing and resilience
You’re not just picking flowers—you’re choosing
how you show up as a bride.
