Brides and grooms should choose tasteful music reflecting their personality. Check church guidelines for non secular pieces, plan processional and recessional tempos, and decide on live or instrumental options. Hire a booking agent, obtain samples and references, and sign a detailed contract with setup times and a cancellation clause.
Flowers speak a language at weddings with meanings rooted in ancient Rome and Greece. Victorian floral dictionaries expanded emotion signaling, and today brides again choose blooms to express feelings about the groom and marriage. A modern search or local florist can help build an extensive, meaningful bouquet.
The list assigns traditional meanings to flowers: Ambrosia for returned love, Carnation for fidelity, Chrysanthemum for love and truth, Daisy for innocence, Fern for sincerity, Holly for domestic happiness, Honeysuckle for bonds of love, Hyacinth for constancy and fidelity, Daisy again for friendship and marriage joy, Rose for love, Stephanotis for happiness in marriage, and Tulip for perfect love.
The piece traces wedding customs from ancient times to modern practice. It covers engagement rings, diamond symbolism, hemp and iron rings, bridesmaids to ward off spirits, and veils used in Greece and Rome to protect brides and ensure the groom’s match.
