The blossoms you select for your wedding day are rooted in rich cultural and historical traditions. From ancient Rome and ancient Greece to the Middle East, we've gathered the best flower-related customs we could find.

In Thailand, the mothers of the bride and groom walk to the altar to drape puang malai -- flower garlands -- around the couple's shoulders to wish them good fortune in their life together.

Swedish and Danish grooms sew small pockets of strong-smelling herbs like garlic, chives, and rosemary into their clothes for good luck.
 

The Indian groom's brother sprinkles flower petals over the couple at the end of the ceremony to protect them from evil.

Ancient Roman brides carried bunches of herbs to symbolize fidelity and fertility -- and to scare off evil spirits.
 

So as you can see flowers have played a very important role in the wedding ceremony for quite some time and have great significance. Please call us with any of your wedding needs and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Please call on Aberdeen's for all your wedding flower needs.  We can make just about anything that you want.  Right now the flowers in season are the Small Calla Lilly, Cornflower, Casablanca’s, Roses, Gerbers, Hydrangeas, Iris Princess Orchids, Statice, tulips.

The best way to handle the issue is by contacting an experienced florist who can cater to your wants and provide you with innovative ideas for different kinds of arrangements. You can choose from subtle Boutonnieres to be worn on the left lapel of the jackets to more sophisticated Corsages that are to be clipped on the waists to the exotic looking Cascade with a waterfall-like spill of fresh flowers. For decorating the wedding venue there are a large number of options available like adorning it with the traditional Garlands and Wreaths. You can opt for a fish bowl with the flowers arranged in a fish bowl or a Dias which is placed as a reception centerpiece at the table where the bride and the groom are seated.

The most important thing that must be kept in mind during the selection of the flowers is that they should complement the overall wedding theme that you want to achieve. The flowers should not look out of place in a specific interior decoration or with a particular wedding dress. You can have any kind of flower arrangement that you want as long as the colors match.

There are various options from which you can choose the flower arrangement style for your wedding. The most popular and standard wedding flowers are roses. They are considered to be the enduring symbol of love and are available all the year round. It is for this reason that it is such high demands. Another option for wedding flowers is lilies. They are also very popular with the masses. You can either carry it singly or in a bunch, they always look pure and appealing. If you are looking for something different then you can opt for seasonal flowers that are available during the time of year of the wedding ceremony. And then you always have the alternative of going for silk flowers that will accentuate your look.

One of the most important issues that must be looked into during marriages is the arrangement of flowers. Flowers play a crucial role in all kinds of weddings, whether it is traditional or otherwise. Flowers are one of the most visually appealing design aspects of a wedding. Apart from being visually appealing, flowers create an aromatic ambiance tantalizing to any guest. Flowers are an essential tool when transforming an environment and creating the perfect setting. Moreover, flowers are required in almost every aspect of the wedding ceremony, the bride carries it, the bridesmaids carry it, the groom and the father of the bride wear it on their suits and the church is decorated with it.

Marriage is unquestionably one of the most events in the couple’s lives. This is a bare fact which no one can deny since everyone puts in their best efforts to make it memorable. The organizing the whole event may be taxing but it fruitful. The joys of recalling one’s marriage day are immense.
