All White Flower Arrangements

Weddings

• In Western cultures, white as a wedding color represents purity, love, respect and innocence. Selecting white flowers for your wedding flower arrangements is a classic choice that will brighten and set off the surrounding events without overwhelming. Lilies, hydrangeas, lilacs, carnations, lily of the valley, daisies and roses, in combination or exclusively, create lovely wedding alter, centerpiece and accent flower arrangements.

Funerals

• The purity and simplicity of a white funeral arrangement is fitting for deceased children, the elderly and the innocent. An arrangement of all-white flowers gives comfort and a feeling of serenity to the bereaved. The arrangement expresses respect and love for the deceased, and is an elegant remembrance.

Christenings/Baptisms

• Because white symbolizes innocence, purity and reverence, all-white flower arrangements are common for church alters and centerpieces at christenings and baptisms. White flowers remind people of heaven, angels, light and new beginnings. Adding a flower arrangement, large or small, of all-white flowers to the christening or baptism celebration will increase the festivities.

Holidays

• Using an all-white flower arrangement is appropriate for a number of holidays. Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter are the three most common holidays where an all-white arrangement is chosen, not only for the symbolism of love, purity and Christianity, but also because the arrangement complements the surrounding decorations or decor.
