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.

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.
