One of the fascinating things about flowers is the multiplicity of meanings their colors and blooms can bear. They are the gift of antiquity, the great subject of art. One of the second greatest muses (since women are the first). And even in the subject of flowers and women, they always seem to describe one another. Artists and poets of all sorts seem to agree that the flower touches some sort of perfection worth reflecting and attempting to capture. The delicate bulb of petals strung together that mysteriously open into a gloriously sensual experience. Look in our art and you will see them there, saying something to you, so alluring they are irresistible. Why have we chose to make them such a part of our lives? It is much more than utilitarian, nothing like how we have chosen horses or certain crops because we found them useful to sustain us.

Or is it perhaps that flowers do sustain us? Yet in the way that is more than practical, the way that fills us with poetry and light and adds true substance. Sometimes we abuse them, use them to silence others or to assuage them. But even that misuse of flowers speaks to their great power of seduction. Give a rose and know the magnitude held in this seemingly small gesture. You hold ancient wisdom, the force of humanity, perfection at a mere glance. This sweet scent. The enormity of what bountiful richness our world exudes. Allow flowers to say it all, it does not matter the occasion (birthdays, anniversaries, relationships of all sorts), there is a flower that will say it all and more.

Glittering, glowing, and sparkling table centerpieces can truly add to the aesthetic wow-factor at events. One exciting way to bring extra brightness is to garnish gorgeous flower arrangements with votive candles besides them. For a wedding that will dazzle guests beyond words, consider creative ways to make your table centerpieces be unforgettable. Besides a towering vase of vibrant and fragrant lilies, little creamy colored votive candles will be like the visual equivalent of hearing a chorus of angles sing on Christmas eve in the background. That small touch that makes everything magical. Not that flowers need any help, but trying something different with them will certainly be something to talk about. It is also a highly affordable way to make sure your engagement, function, or fundraiser has a lot of glitz and glam.

Imagine a lush arrangement of deep-red roses paired besides a clear ornate bowl filled with floating votive candles that dance as their lights pass by each other like ships. Those orbs of light will bounce off the rich color of the flowers to create an image that is quite special.

For a more down-to-earth look, you may make a holder for a votive candle out of an orange. Fruit in vases already makes for a stunning arrangement, a glowing orange globe besides some creamy white flowers would make for something astonishingly beautiful that has a light summer freshness as well. There are many ways to create centerpieces that are stunning, the flowers take the stage but why not add a little back up?

Sometimes, it takes being on the receiving end of a gift to understand its significance. Especially for those short of imagination. However, there is one gift that suits givers of all sorts for whether you wish to access creative banks or choose simplicity, a stunning result is possible either way. That is, of course, the gift of flowers. Here is an example: coming back from a trip you cannot help but glance at all the knick-knacks in the souvenir shops but no matter how many snow globes, t-shirts, and refrigerator magnets you consider purchasing, nothing quite says “I missed you.” These things seem transient in a superficial way. But if you were to send a bouquet of flowers, the flourishing life they possess would transfer into the sentiments of its receiver. It is that extra step that shows the thought and consideration of someone who truly cares.

Your daughter has just finished her final performance of the play she’s been working on at school for months, she has poured so much time and effort into this. What better reward than fresh cut flowers? Your mother has worked so hard to help you with so many things, taking from her valuable time — does not the bouquet show the sincerest of attitudes?

Your son has just returned from his studies away from home, would not some gorgeous yellow rose flowers give the warmest of welcomes?

A bouquet gives a wealthy breath of freshness into a space and into other’s lives. So if you are ever unsure of where to begin in order to convey heart-warming feelings, make a floral consideration…you are sure to make someone’s (including yours) day.

“It is the time you have lost for your rose that makes your rose so important.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Known as a classic novella (especially for children), The Little Prince is overflowing with philosophic meaning, with thoughts that touch upon the human condition itself. The character of the young prince falls in love with a rose and upon discovering that there are many other roses in this universe’s existence, he laments that his rose is not unique. However, a fox consoles him with bringing out the fact that just by her being the object of his affection, by his having spent time on her, his rose is, in fact, quite unique.

Flowers have been a member of the romantic arena since its very birth, for they emanate love’s delicacies and reflect the beauteous qualities that belong to women. Just as there are many “I’s” (since humanity is composed of many individuals) but there is, in a sense, only one “I” for every person, so too this quality is present in love. Communicate the uniqueness of the deliciously strange and gripping emotion of romance with the gift of roses. The thought, the time and consideration taken, the gravitational effect of seeing a bud one moment later come into full and bursting bloom, these are all transmitted and are sewn into the heart with the warmest of feelings.

As with the people we love, the tender gift of flowers is never to be forgotten, for each dearest person is, in fact, our life’s eternal rose.

The flickering mystique of romance, that glimmer in her eyes. What if you could capture mystery itself, that intricate twirl, the stroke in the painting that gives it a tint of something deeper, something profound that has yet to be discovered. Allow your vases to glow and your flowers have a little bit more mood lighting to shine upon them as they fulfill their natural role as centers of attention: add the spot light of candles. There are many ways to implement the use of candles and have a little more pizazz in your floral arrangement.

You mary group candles of various heights and have a garland of flowers surround them at their feet. Many flowers will do, for example a delicious mixture of roses and calla lilies will create quite the awe-inspiring effect. You may also choose to have several votive candles surround a tall table centerpiece. Hydrangeas make an excellent companion as their ball-like bloom is a bursting surprise to a long and elegant vase. The candles will only add more of a glow!

Our final suggestion is to hang candles from your table-centerpiece, an adorable display that suggests the livelihood of the flowers (the real show). Do not forget to include smaller candles around and perhaps even other mini-table centerpieces to surround, as if in worship of the main one, all paying homage to the beauty of flowers. A glamourous arrangement that will have guests in a daze of wonder!
