4 Types of Roses and The Secret Meaning They Bring into Your Wedding

Roses are, without a doubt, one of the most romantic flowers.  They look and smell fantastic, but they also come in a wide variety of colors and petal variations.  These factors help continuously rank roses year to year as one of the most popular flower choices for weddings.  What are some type of roses you can incorporate into your own wedding and what is the symbolism behind them?   

• The different varieties. There are so many varieties of roses that choosing just one for your wedding might feel overwhelming! Even more, each of them has its own meaning and symbolism. For example, did you know that there are some roses that bear no thorns?  A thorn-less rose signifies love at first sight, while a Damascus rose is a Persian symbol of love and freshness.  Tea roses symbolizes remembrance and beautiful memories. Beautiful, right?  

• The colors. As you may know, the color of roses each bring a different symbolism. The classic red rose symbolizes love and passion, white roses signify purity, and yellow roses represent friendship and appreciation. If you prefer pink roses in your bridal bouquet, you should know that they symbolize joy and gratitude, while orange roses signify happiness and appreciation. Finally, by mixing multiple colors of roses, you can create an array of symbolism and meaningfulness. 

• The number. Did you know that the number of roses incorporated in your bouquet or arrangements can also bear a special symbolism of its own? For instance, one white rose says that your feelings are pure, and one yellow rose can say that the person you are giving it to is bringing joy in your life. Likewise, one pink rose is a declaration that you like the person you are offering it to, while fifty red roses say that your love is limitless.
