About Flowers
As an artistic photographer, my favorite subject is flowers. I take more photographs of flowers than anything else. I am a Master Gardener and love ornamental gardening. I added this page for those of you who share in my passion.
Symbolic Meanings of Wedding Flowers - This is The Knot’s beautiful listing of several wedding flower selections with full color wedding images. Very nice, but not completely thorough.
The Bouqs - Bouquets for ideas and flower names. Beautiful images.
Real Simple - How to turn supermarket, Costco flowers turned into beautiful bouquets for a fraction of the cost…
The Flower Expert - This is a more comprehensive list of flowers and their meanings. It’s not as tastefully done as The Knot’s, but it has more flowers! :)
The Language of Flowers - This is a list of many flowers and their meaning in a few words. No pictures, but I like its simplicity of meaning.
Flower Color Symbolism - Red is romantic, white is purity, orange is happy… fun information. Once you see the meanings, you can click on another link to see bouquets made with various flowers in your colors of choice for ideas.
My favorite flowers… that would be all of them!! I photograph them like crazy. If I had to pick a few of my favorite flowers that I've seen for a wedding day, I’d pick:
Peonies
Lisianthus
Pastel roses
Hydrangea
Ranunculus
Dahlias
Zinnia
Accents: eucalyptus, dusty miller, ferns, berries, rice flowers
