When it comes to the bridal bouquet, tradition states that different flowers represent different meanings, and with a tulip bridal bouquet, this is no exception. The meaning of the tulip within a bridal bouquet is indicated to be love, and when you combine these beautiful and scented flowers to other flowers with a similar meaning, the bridal bouquet will mean much more than something to hold while the bride is walking down the aisle.
Tulips come in so many varieties of colour, depending on the time of year and can be teamed with a large number of other flowers of various shades to make a tulip bridal bouquet that not only represents the feelings that the bride has for her groom to be, but also to follow the overall colour theme of the entire wedding.
If you are looking to have a tulip bridal bouquet for your wedding, then you must be first looking at a spring wedding as this is when the flowers bloom so beautifully. Although different varieties of tulip will bloom in different times of the season, they usually look better from mid to late spring and are one of the first flowers to make their appearance after the cold winter season. This is metaphorical by itself. Perhaps if you have had a rather long and troublesome engagement, with money worries that have stopped you getting married sooner, tulips would be the great way to represent this. After all, being the first flowers to bloom after the harsh conditions of winter is one way of describing your wedding day if the engagement has been tough. Think of the engagement as your winter and the wedding as a sign of spring and therefore better things to come and the tulip bridal bouquet could just be the perfect one for you.
For years, bridal bouquets have been used metaphorically and although some flowers and colour variations are considered to be bad luck, for example red flowers, people are choosing not to focus so much on this and to focus on the beauty of their bridal bouquets instead. Luckily, a tulip bridal bouquet manages to incorporate both of these things – tradition and beauty, and if you combine them with other flowers such as the white daisy which symbolizes innocence, you can have a bridal bouquet that means so much more.
For younger brides and especially virgin brides, a tulip bridal bouquet could be teamed with flowers such as baby’s breath, which is used to symbolize a pure heart, or Cyclamen that shows modesty and shyness. However, older brides could favour a tulip bridal bouquet that is matched with bluebell that is said to show constancy.
The best thing about a tulip bridal bouquet is that it can come in so many different colours and can be teamed with so many other flowers. When used as a tall bouquet, it can be cradled in the arms or held out in front, and the long stems can be tied beautifully with a pretty coloured ribbon to give off a more effective aura.
