Florigraphy was once an avocation that were very instrumental in the planning of weddings. It was the study of flowers and it theorized that flowers had hidden meanings. And flowers were chosen on the basis of their meaning. For instance – the Viscaria flower means will you dance with me. The red rose meant, “I love you”. The message of the Primrose was, “I can’t live without you.”. Today, however, all that has vanished leaving the bride to choose her own flowers in her own way.
The first decision you’ll have to make regarding flowers is to decide if your wedding be held indoors or outdoors. If it will be held outdoors, make sure that the type of flowers you are building your bouquet around will hold up in outdoor weather. That is, if your wedding is in the summer, you want flowers that won’t wilt in the heat. If your wedding is in the winter or fall, you want flowers that won’t freeze easily
