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.”
