Welcome to the Secret Garden, where we believe that flowers are not just beautiful decorations but powerful symbols that can convey deep emotions and messages. Flowers have their own unique language, known as floriography, which has been used for centuries to express feelings of love, joy, sympathy, and more. Whether you're planning a wedding, a party, or a funeral, understanding the meanings behind different flowers can help you choose the perfect blooms for any occasion. Let's explore the rich symbolism of flowers and how you can use them to create unforgettable floral arrangements.
The History and Significance of Floriography
Floriography, the language of flowers, originated in ancient civilizations and reached its peak during the Victorian era. In a time when expressing emotions openly was often frowned upon, people turned to flowers to communicate their feelings subtly and elegantly. Each flower, and even its color, carried specific meanings, allowing for a nuanced exchange of sentiments without uttering a single word.
At Secret Garden, we embrace this tradition and use our expertise to craft flower designs that not only look stunning but also resonate deeply with the intended message.
