A gift of flowers has always been a favoured expression of friendship and love. Here is a sampling of the special messages you can send by selecting flowers with meanings all their own.
On your wedding eve, give your fiancé a mixture of red and white roses (happy love and unity), or a bouquet of Ranunculus (you are radiant with charm).
When meeting your future in-laws for the first time, bring a bouquet of heather (admiration), daffodils (regard, not love) or bouquets of morning glories (affection).
At your bridal shower, choose centrepieces of acacia (friendship) and yellow lily (gaiety).
Tell the groom’s friends to decorate him with ivy (fidelity) or give him a sprig to wear at the bachelor party.
Thank your bridesmaids for their support with small bouquets of sultan (felicity, happiness), and give them as tokens at your bridesmaid’s luncheon.
 John Lyons Weddings For the wedding, decorate the church, chapel or garden with ivy (fidelity, marriage), and lilies (purity
of heart). Your bouquet will express unspoken emotions when you include: blue violet
(faithfulness) orchids (beauty and love), myrtle
(joy) or iris (promise in love).

The only thing that makes your marriage a marriage is the wedding ceremony. The reception is the party – the culmination of your love and plans for the future years ahead.
We have spoken with many couples who have been disillusioned after the fact, by the disruption of their vows. When the guests are active and taking photos, there is an energy that is not necessary or conducive to the occasion. Your ceremony is a solemn time that starts your life. Leave any disruptions out while you commit to one another. This is your moment together- your time to seal your love and commitment to one another. This is a moment to have captured properly by your photographer.
The controversy about plugged or unplugged has been huge and most couples prefer the quiet intimacy of the ceremony without any added confusion.
A professional photographer has been trained to be unobtrusive, while capturing those defining emotions. They will take those shots that will be yours forever- and they will get the best ones.
