Say it with flowers on your wedding day THERE are plenty of reasons you can choose the flowers that you do for your wedding bouquet, church and reception decorations, corsages or buttonholes.

Some people merely go with their favourite flower or color, or have a particular color scheme in mind.

And, of course, it all depends on the time of year you are getting married, which most of the time narrows the choice of what is in bloom and/or available.

Some, however, choose their flowers according to the meaning that has been ascribed to them since Victorian times and even before.

Many of these meanings originated during Victorian times because of the trend towards repressing emotions in public, so people chose flowers carefully to convey certain meanings.

Roses signify love, joy and beauty, ranging from the innocence of white roses to the passion with which red roses are synonymous.

Orchids are another popular choice, and

like roses, also stand for love and beauty.

For another graceful choice, many brides choose calla lilies for their sophisticated look and they can also create a centrepiece with impact.

Should you wish to portray abundance and truth, chrysanthemums should be your choice, or for marital happiness, stephanotis is a traditional flower for brides to carry.

Tiptoe through the tulips for a bouquet that symbolises eternal love, choose freesia to convey the trust in your relationship, or even choose poppy to signify imagination.

There are also flowers that most avoid when it comes to weddings, because they symbolise qualities you do not want in a marriage, according to superstition.

These include larkspur, indicating infidelity, or foxglove, which indicates falsehood.

For more information on this subject, check out your favorite bridal or wedding website or consult with your florist.

INDIVIDUAL IMAGES: Hotshot Images can help capture your wedding day with unforgettable images.

Local photographer has global experience WANGARATTA based business Hotshot Images really has the edge when it comes to producing unique and professional wedding photos and video.

The business is run by Adrian Vaughan, who has been involved in the fast paced Australian television industry for almost 30 years and photography since 1995, and has left him well versed in creating truly individual still images and video packages for you.

Adrian’s expertise is such that he has filmed/

photographed weddings locally, nationally and internationally.

“Meeting with the couple is essential, as a good chat helps me figure out their personalities, and of course what kind of images they are after.

“But the key for me is to make it fun for all involved.”

Producing videos and broadcast television programs means that clients receive a truly professional wedding video that people will

actually want to watch.

“A bride will happily watch a five hour wedding video, however their friends and family would not.

“So I generally cut a relevant, humorous, emotive and memorable 20-30 minute program that keeps everybody happy.”

“Your photographer is with you from make-up to the reception, and he or she knows more about weddings than anyone.

“So I’m always on hand to assist and be the

voice of calm when issues crop up… and they always do.”

On his website is a comprehensive hints and tips section for couples planning their wedding, from someone who’s seen it all.

More information on Hotshot Images, including several wedding images that Adrian has shot over the years, can be found on the company’s website at www.hotshotimages.com.au.
