White Rose Bouquet
Does my bouquet HAVE to match my arch?
as far as flower type and/or colors? example: white rose arch, white rose bouquet?
It’s your day, so you control the “have to” factor.
While no one (who isn’t insane) will recall whether
or not your bouquet matched your arch, wedding
pictures will always be there to remind you. You
should think of how you’d like your wedding photos
to look, and decide from there.
If this decision makes you anxious for a quick
solution, simply have the arch made, and add
some color, or flowers to match your bouquet,
afterward. Just remember to have extra flowers
on hand to complete the arch well before the
ceremony.
You can also request that all of the flowers in
your arch be white. Then, at very least, they
will match your wedding gown and it won’t
matter if the flowers in the arch differ from
those in your bouquet.

The White Rose History
It has been said that in the beginning, the first rose to emerge on Earth what the white rose, developing magically into other colors, hues and tones. Roses boast a deep and long history, throughout the centuries they have been used to convey complex messages between sender and recipient without saying a word. It is still so popular today to send flowers of a way to share your heartfelt feelings with others. Many people know that red roses are symbolic of eternal love, but are you aware of the importance of the white rose or its history?
Pink roses are believed to have become that way when a white rose was kissed by a beautiful maiden, making it blush. The red rose came about when Aphrodite was injured by a thorn, tainting the white petals with her blood; this is according to Greek Mythology. The white rose symbolically represents innocence and purity. Marriage represents the love that transcends all other loves and white roses are traditionally used in bridal bouquets and are known as the bridal flower. When flowers are used at a wedding, the white rose often signifies unity, virtue and the purity of love, a bond that cannot be broken. White rosebuds were once used as a traditional symbol to show that a girl was not yet old enough to receive suitors or to understand the heights of romantic love. Popular for use in funerals, white roses associate with honor and reverence, showing a heartfelt tribute, spiritual love and remembrance to a loved one who has departed but will never be forgotten
Farewells, new starts, hope, friendship, respect and purity are all instances and messages that are connected in innocence. In political England, the white rose stood for the death that would befall those who dared betray their word and in the medieval era speaking under a white rose represented the confidential nature of the discussion. The Pope declared to the people in the 16th century that a carving depicting a rose in booths where confession took place was a symbol of being private and confidential. The white rose symbolized the Virgin Mary for Christians as she was known as “The Mystical Rose of Heaven”.
A florist has the understanding and is sensitive about the message you want to convey using white roses and has the ability to select with you an ideal arrangement using the white rose.

Bride has bouquet of red roses & bridesmaids wearing deep red dress? What flower for bridesmaids?
I am wanting to carry a bouquet of red roses…The bridesmaids are wearing red (deeper red) dresses. Would it look right if the bridesmaids carried a single white rose with a deeper red ribbon tied around the stem? Also would silk or fresh flowers be better for all flowers? For look and convenience?
I would go with white. If you want a single stem or small hand-tied bouquet, it is your choice and depends on the number of bridesmaids and your budget. When I got married, hubby(to-be) and myself found that there was no difference in the price between silk and fresh. We had fresh roses, but thinking about it, I wish that I had a silk bouquet, so I would have been able to keep it. Funnily enough, I had a red rose bouquet and my sister who was my bridesmaid had a white rose hand-tied bouquet.
