Flowers and the Meaning Of
Flowers in general symbolise fertility and healthy children, and any purple flower symbolises Christ's blood, while white flowers symbolise innocence.
Strong smelling herbs were thought to ward off bad luck, evil spirits and ill health by their strong smells, so were entwined around the flowers in the bride's bouquet. A red rose and white snowdrop separately mean joy and hope, but for the superstitious, red and white flowers together have a bad omen from the First World War, and have come to represent blood and bandages.
Orange Blossom worn in the bride's hair or on her dress use to signify virginity, and because it is an evergreen, it also symbolised the everlasting nature of the newlyweds' love for each other.
An old wives tale states that a newly wed couple are to destroy any artificial Orange Blossom used at their wedding otherwise they would experience misfortune. Forget-Me-Not has been a symbol of undying love even since before the Middle Ages.
