Flowers & Star Signs
What your star sign says about your wedding flowers?
CAPRICORN
22 December – 20 January
Being the leader of Earth signs, you’re very hardworking and also known as an ultimate-achiever. Normally, you will get whatever you want, including your dream wedding. You’re in love with something that is so poise and elegance, so, lily of the valley is best to describe the extravagance of your wedding style. It’s not a showy bouquet, but it whispers wealth and privilege.”
AQUARIUS
21 January – 19 February
Aquarian brides are distinctive and unique. Everything that falls under their wings is recognizable. It’s safe to say that their weddings are unconventional and less traditional. “Amaryllis tied with funky ribbon appeals to her free spirit, while setting her apart.” You can never go wrong with other authentic styles that include wild herbs and white stephanotis that are beaded with shimmering crystals.
PISCES
20 February – 19 March
Normally, Piscean brides are very creative, emotional but yet romantic. Most of the brides are easily cry by just saying “I do”. Ruled by the water and Neptune, they will look stunning with hand bouquet full with aquatic plants. The best option is water lilies. “I would create a bouquet with lots of soft green, like lady’s-mantle, papyrus, and white gardenias. Then I’d echo that theme on all tables by floating leafy plants and candles in shallow bowls,” proposed Pfeiffer.
ARIES
20 March – 20 April
Impulsive and dynamic. These two characteristics are best to describe Aries brides. They love to exhibit and give the world a peek at their unique side especially when they are walking down the aisle. According to Todd Fiscus, florist of Two Design Group, an elaborate bouquet of orchids-cymbidium, oncidium, and cattleya-in colours like blush pink and apple green will make the bold statement that they’re looking for.
TAURUS
21 April – 20 May
Everyone pictures Taurus as patience, warmth and loyal but at the same time tough and stubborn. The perfect flower that fits Taureans brides personality is magnolias. “They’ve got every one of those Taurean traits. In Texas, magnolia trees are really tenacious. They endure extreme temperatures yet manage to always come through with shiny, dinner-plate-size white blooms,” suggests Fiscus.
GEMINI
21 May – 21 June
The twins. Sometimes people call it spilt personality but most of them are fascinating with the natures of their dual. Gemini brides are charming, inquisitive, and inventive. To please them are not an easy task. So, Pfeiffer suggests to mix roses in contrasting colours. She said, “I love burgundy and yellow, or hot pink and orange. Another bride may think it’s too vivid, but Geminis will love it.” If you think roses are too girlish to your likings, you may opt for something simple like hydrangeas.
CANCER
22 June – 22 July
Cancerians brides are best known for their mellow characteristics. Most of them are sensitive, nurturing and compassionate. One thing about Cancerians that people need to know is they always appreciate traditions and customs. “She wants to fulfill everyone’s expectations of what the classic bride should be. For her, I would choose an all white floral theme with soft, feminine feel,” said Fiscus. What best suits her? A bouquet of white roses tight with a simple white ribbon.
LEO
23 July – 22 August
Everyone knows that Leo brides love to be under the spotlights – so, the wedding must be full of stand out elements, intricate ‘Byzantine’ details and lots of attentions. Leo brides expressing themselves by having vibrant coloured flowers. They must be warm and ebullient – of course to match their sunny characteristics. Pfeiffer said that Leo brides are confident to carry a bouquet of yellow sunflowers. She said that she would use small sunflowers that will be framed with flowering basil or a feathery grass in a tight and formal arrangement. “They are very chic for a daytime wedding,” she adds.
VIRGO
23 August – 23 September
Focus is the key element of most Virgo brides. They know how to complete a certain task without being distracted from it. They also have high standards for themselves – and the weddings. Simple flowers arrangement would give dramatic effects that fabricate lavish ambiance for their wedding reception. “Calla lilies and some raspberries will show off her flirtatious tendencies. To add texture, include greens like mint or lamb’s ears,” suggests Pfeiffer.
LIBRA
24 September – 23 October
Libra brides are imaginative, gleaming, extrovert and romantic. Not only the want the best for their wedding, but they also want their guests to feel good and have a good time at the weddings. A bevy of tulips would make everyone smiling while you walk down the aisle. “Tulips are bouncy and spirited, like Libras. They’re the only flowers that keep growing once they’ve been cut,” says Fiscus.
SCORPIO
24 October – 22 November
Scorpion brides are full with mysteries. Sometime they are very secretive and evasive. Pfeiffer said, “The best way to resemble that in their hand bouquet is to choose flowers that are rich in colours.” Opt for red chrysanthemum, jet black roses or pink lilies for an intimate hand bouquet.
SAGITTARIUS
23 November – 21 December
Sagittarian brides are energetic and full with surprises. They are very optimistic, impetuous, and spiritual. But, they hate complicated flowers arrangements! To balance the preferences, Sagittarian brides need to choose one type of flower to reflect their happiness. “Use gerber daisies. It’s very spunky, very fresh, and very YOU!” says Fiscus.
