METALLIC GOLD MOTIFF.
The tibetan Buddhist believes in 5 sacred stones: the crystal for light, turquoise for infinity of sea and sky, coral for life and form, gold for the golden ray of the sun, silver for the light of the moon. It is intimately linked with Divinity and those gods associated with the Sun. And It symbolizes wealth and success.
It is no surprise that gold symbolizes wealth used wisely, but it is also the symbol of good health. Isn't it that great? People who favor the colour gold are optimistic. I will be likely using a metallic Gold as our wedding motiff, as it defines luxury and elegance also.
WHITE ROSES FOR MY BOUQUET.
There is something about white roses that I love Besides its soft creamy petals, White Roses represent innocence and purity and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings. It is also a symbol of honour and reverence. I have requested 3 doz. of White Roses with a golden pearl accent for my bouquet. I can't wait to see it.
And a Red Roses for my Maid Of Honour and Brides Maids. I love the combination of Gold and Red. Although common to many. But Roses makes a great symbol for a bride to be.
Here some of the most popular wedding flowers and its meaning:
Roses
There is a reason that roses are the most popular choice of flowers for brides. A white rose stands for innocence, beauty and charm--just the traits every bride wants to portray. A bride that chooses red roses for her wedding flowers is sending a message of passion and of fiery love. If dark pink roses are used for a wedding, the couple is expressing a thankfulness that they found each other. An ivy colored rose stands for fidelity in the marriage--something every new couple strives for.
Tulips
If you are having a spring wedding, there is simply no better way to express your love for your future spouse than by carrying a bouquet of tulips. They are not only beautiful, but speak of an undying love.
Daisies
Daisies are many people's favorite flower, but not a lot of brides use them in their wedding decor. They might if they understood their significance! Daisies stand for romance and an innocent spirit. Does that describe you?
Calla Lilies
These graceful flowers are reminders of our past generations when grace and beauty were the rule. Associated with elegance and charm, a calla lily would be the perfect flower if you wanted to create a sophisticated atmosphere for your wedding.
A NEW FRIEND
I made a new friend today when I met the owner of the flower shop I have commissioned to make my bouquet, bouttoniers, and wrist corsage for my wedding next month. My friend Sally, who managed the shop has gracefully introduced us. Malou in her mid 30s, is also married to a british guy. She is cheerful and amazingly friendly. We exchanged quite a few story, and despite the lack of time, we still manage to enjoy our chitchat.
Malou and Sally has made me a mocked up bouquet for my maid of honour. It was exquisite and beautifully done. I was given a quote of 4k php ( £60 ) for the entourage package. That's a good price eh? And That would be for the following:

Early this morning, after I had my coffee, I called Tita Nenen to check with her the wedding date that Fr. Irelli suggested prior to the 10days posting as required by the Philippines law. Tita Nenen, reassured me with her usual cheerful voice. I have had vague memory of her, It was over a year ago since Julian and I had our visits to the office of the local municipality. We were with Tita Wanda, who was kind to assists us, also works in the Mayor's office. She introduced us with Tita Nenen. We were given a list of requirements to serve as a guide in applying for a Marraige License. So, the date is set to May 3rd. Although the Church and the Municipality Officers in Charge has agreed to the specified date, it is not an official date as of yet, until Julian and I will be given a definite schedule of the marraige license release date. I prayed that there wouldn't be any more hindrances. TRUE LOVE DO EXIST. |
