The Empowering Message of Flowers
The Victorian era offered many different aspects of expression.
One of these has to do with flower messages. A Posy or a Nosegay (also known a bouquet) was often given. The message they held made these a special gift.
Every British royal bride since 1858 has carried a sprig of myrtle — the “herb of love” — in her wedding bouquet. The tradition started when Queen Victoria was gifted a posy of myrtle flowers by Prince Albert’s grandmother in 1845.
The question is, “What is the meaning behind the Myrtle flower being in a posy?”
- Marital Fidelity
- Good Luck
Roses are the most common flower with the expression of Love – typically given on Valentine’s Day. Roses are said to be the favorite flower of Venus – the Goddess of Love. The rose has long been a strong symbol of beauty, passion and love. But, there is much more to roses and the individual colors.
- Red Roses – Love and Passion
- Yellow Roses – Friendship
- White Roses – True Love and Purity of the Mind
- Pink Roses – Friendship or a Sweetheart (also good for young girls)
- Purple Roses - Love at first sight or just an enchanting way to say, "I love you!"
- Peach Roses – Gratefulness and a Show of Appreciation
- Cream Roses – Indicative of Charm and Thoughtfulness
- Black Roses – Farewell
Sometimes the numbers say everything...
- A single rose of any color depicts the utmost devotion or a way to say "thank you"
- Two roses entwined together communicate "marry me" (a red and white rose entwined means unity)
- Six Roses signify a need to be loved or cherished
- Eleven roses assure the recipient they are truly and deeply loved
- Thirteen roses indicate a secret admire
