Marriage Hints: Flowers Have Meaningby Heather Long | More from this Blogger 10 Oct 2006 10:00 AM Gentlemen, this is may seem like it's just for you, but it's also a little lesson for the ladies. I found it fascinating studying some of the meanings behind flowers, especially back in the days of planning my wedding. At the time, in all the wedding plans I was making, there was only one certainty I had - that certainty was that my bridal bouquet needed to contain a combination of the flowers my husband used to propose. The day he proposed, he sent me three white roses, six yellow roses and a dozen red roses. The white was for the purity of our love and devotion. The yellow roses were for our friendship and commitment. The red roses were for our shared passions and desires. Those were his words, not mine. Still, they have remained with me for years and so during our wedding, my bridesmaids each carried a variation on that - one brides maid had 3 white, another six yellow and my matron of honor carried a dozen red and in my bouquet (and it was HUGE) I had all twenty-one roses.
