In New Orleans, we don’t just throw beads, we throw bouquets. Whether you’re decorating the altar, pews, tables, cake, or each other, the gardens of New Orleans are full of fragrant inspiration. No matter what your wedding colors are, you’ll find blooms to match. Keep in mind that Southern flowers don’t just have rare beauty and unique scents — they carry distinct meanings, too. Louisiana’s state flower, the showy magnolia, stands for nobility and dignity. The gardenia is a symbol of joy. An iris, the inspiration for the French fleur-de-lis, means faith, valor, and wisdom. The camellia exemplifies graciousness. And just because it’s not unique to New Orleans, don’t forget the rose, which stands for romance, love, beauty, and courage – all things required for anyone walking down the aisle.
