The perfect flowers for you based on your star sign
Stuck for wedding flower inspiration? Read on... Signs the Zodiac originate from Babylonian astrology and can often offer guidance and comfort to those who believe them. Whether in times of struggle or marking a new start, they are there to show the future is written in the stars. Whilst everyone knows that each sign correlates to a different time of year, did you know that each one also has a corresponding flower? Zodiac flowers reflect each star sign's personality trait and offer insight into what the stars have planned for us.
Lucia Polla, marketing manager at Serenata Flowers, comments: “For thousands of years people have looked to the stars to gain insight into their own being, creating clear profiles for each Zodiac by assigning colours, gemstones and elements, so it should come as no surprise that each star sign also has a corresponding flower. “Personalising gifts for friends and family can prove difficult, so a bouquet of flowers that corresponds to a loved one’s Zodiac is sure to put a smile on their face. Knowing that thought went into selecting stems specifically for them will definitely make them feel special and might make them feel more in touch with the stars.”
Aries (21st March – 20th April): Honeysuckle Aries symbolises new beginnings as the first sign of the Zodiac. Aries are known for being assertive, and this is reflected by their birth flowers - thistles and honeysuckle - which bloom in bold colours during the early spring.
Taurus (23rd April – 23rd May): Lilies Sensuous Taurus loves being overwhelmed with love, so it's no surprise that their birth flower is the heavily flagrant lily. Choose lilies when picking a gift for the Taurus in your life and enjoy their seductive scent together.
Gemini (22nd May – 21st June): Lavender Sociable Gemini's will feel most connected to lavender flowers, which grow in abundance in country gardens. Its vivid purple colour and attractive smell synergises with Gemini's natural charisma and irresistible charm.
Cancer (22nd June – 22nd July): White Rose Moon-child Cancer will feel a sense of serenity with white flowers - especially white roses. The delicate white petals are symbolic of Cancer's inner sensitivity. White is a significant colour for Cancer as it offers a blank canvas that allows Cancer's creativity to flourish and bloom.
Leo (23rd July – 22nd August): Sunflower Leos are notoriously outgoing and outlandish, so it comes as no surprise that they feel most connected with sunflowers. Enjoy a burst of sunlight from these bright flowers that will remind admirers of Leo's happy demeanour.
Virgo (23rd August – 23rd September): Chrysanthemums Virgo's are known for being perfectionists with a keen eye for detail. Petit flowers such a chrysanthemums are associated with those born under the Virgo Zodiac. Virgos can enjoy these little flowers mixed with larger blooms.
Libra (23rd September – 23rd October): Roses Libras have a clear sense of right and wrong, and are often incredibly balanced, much like a perfectly composed rose. The colour blue also holds special meaning for Libras so why not give a rose bouquet, interlaced with smaller blue buds, as a gift for your Libra loved one.
Scorpio (23rd October – 23rd November): Dark Red Flowers Filled with mystery and known for being dark horses, Scorpios feel a connection to dark red flowers such as geraniums. As they are naturally academic, Scorpios could keep a bouquet of dark red flowers on their desk, to add a touch of glamour to their workplace.

The British Wedding Tradition Most Guests Never Question
Most wedding guests have heard the phrase "wedding breakfast", but very few stop to question it. After all, the meal is rarely served in the morning. It usually comes after the ceremony, often in the afternoon, and can involve anything from a formal three-course dinner to sharing boards, canapes, grazing tables and dessert stations. So why do we still call it a breakfast? According to Nick from Country House Weddings, the answer goes back centuries and is tied to religion, fasting and the way weddings were once celebrated in Britain. Breaking A Very Specific Fast The word "breakfast" does not originally mean a morning meal. It simply means breaking a fast.
