So let’s jump on this bandwagon.
What does a professional florist see in this pic? The symbolism of the flowers, the construction techniques and the incredible NDA agreement that went with it!
So here’s a list of some of the symbolism in the design, because every Swiftie loves a back story to the love story. And ok, I’m sentimental and love anyone’s love story.
Roses-
Roses, especially when considering their colors, hold diverse symbolic meanings. In general, roses symbolize love, beauty, and passion.
White roses often represent purity, innocence, and new beginnings. Pink roses can signify grace, admiration, and gratitude.
Anemone-
Sometimes considered symbols of love and affection, especially in Victorian flower language. In ancient Greek tales, they sprung from the blood of Adonis mingled with the tears of Aphrodite, his lover.
Hydrangea-
various meanings, often depending on culture and color, generally representing heartfelt emotion, gratitude, apology, and abundance.
In Japan, it signifies sincere feelings and apology, while in Europe, it was once associated with arrogance and boastfulness, a sentiment now faded.
The color of the hydrangea adds specific layers to its meaning, with pink signifying love, blue representing gratitude and regret, white symbolizing purity and grace.
Allium-
Good fortune: Alliums are universally loved, not just by us humans but also by bees, butterflies and other insects, particularly when planted as part of a group. This is why they have come to symbolise good fortune - they bring joy, together.
Delphiniums-
‘big hearted’. Like many flowers, different colours of delphiniums often carry their own significance.
Nerines-
Pink nerines symbolize love, beauty, and strength, representing a powerful love from the heart, while also signifying resilience and the ability to overcome hardship, like the Guernsey Lily that survived a shipwreck. Additionally, their connection to Greek mythology links them to sea nymphs and protection for sailors, reflecting themes of freedom, connection, and affection.
