Daisy Wedding



Summer is very definitely here. And what flower says summer better than the Daisy? As a wedding flower, it has been somewhat out of favor for a little while, being usurped by the showier Hydrangeas and Calla Lilies. But they are making a comeback, and this sweet little blossom lends itself to many interesting designs.

The Daisy itself stands for innocence, loyal love and purity, making it the perfect symbol for weddings.

Because a Daisy has a consistently sized flower head, it easily becomes a beautiful 'globe," which can be used (with a ribbon handle) for the flower girl. She'd feel like a grownup having such a fun thing to carry! Or, attach the globes to garden stakes, for use as cheerful aisle markers. Hanging one from a doorway or tree turns it into a "Kissing Ball"-how romantic!







This simple bridal bouquet is given a lift by the addition of some bling- beautiful "diamante" pins inserted into the face of the blossoms. They almost look like raindrops!

Daisies can be mixed with lots of different flowers, making them casual and playful or, with the addition of more 'serious' flowers such as these roses, can become a bit more formal.

And you can carry the Daisy theme on through to your cake,
either with real blooms as a garnish, or have your baker create beautiful gum paste Daisies, as in these two fun examples!














What's the difference between a Daisy from Bloomers and one you picked on the side of the road? Excellent quality and unparallelled lifespan! Call us anytime. 910-815-8585
