Okay, I'm getting married soon and I know what I want already, I just have ONE thing that will connect everything else together.Which flower should I walk down the aisle with? I'm confused... I wanted a deep-deep-burgandy closed rose, but I'm not too sure now. Should I carry a plain red rose? Than again red roses are to cliche. Overdone with everyone.What do flowers symbolize and why? Which should I do?The color of the flower I carry will dictate the color of the vests worn by the men and the color of the b'maids dresses and the color of my wedding in general. I'm having white and champagne wedding and I would want an extra color. I don't know I'm so confused. JuST ONE flower. I want it to be beautiful and stunning and alluring and at the same time elegant.

You can get Gerbera Daisies in any color and they are gorgeous. To hold one that has a long stem would look whimsical and beautiful with the champaigne wedding theme.Also, something to think about: Gerbera Daisies are very vibrant, so picking a plainer colored vest and dress would make the flower pop even more.

a calla lilly, i think they even die them now to come in diffrent shades. i think they are very pretty. the colored ones actually may be hybrids so you may be able to find a unique color.

How about an oversized calla lily. They are quite expensive for one flower, generally about $30, but still cheaper than a bouquet. It will work with the champagne color, a varying number of greens, yellow, and white.

With white and champagne a pink peony would be a large and beautiful single flower. It would add just a gentle blush to your colors.

you cant go wrong with a rose. it is lovely, romantic and symbolizes love. red roses are very elegant and by far my favorite type of flower. i would do either red or pink, but leaning more towards red. pink and champagne are beautiful colors together though.cant really think of any other flower except a calla lilly but i hate those.

Google "Victorian flower language." In Victorian times, an entire message could be sent to someone just by sending them a bouquet. Several websites explain the symbolism of hundreds of flowers.

http://www.weddingbokay.com/symbolism.htmlI think it's a good idea to go down with one flower. I'm not a bouquet type of person, but I might do a flower or candle. This website gives symbolisms for every type of flower. Yeah, a rose is cliche, but if you really like roses, then go ahead.

There are many varieties of lilies that are beautiful and would look wonderful as a single flowere.My favorite is the stargazer lilyhttp://www.thelilygarden.com/pages_lilies/oriental_1.html

I think you should walk down the aisle holding a peony. They are large, full looking flowers that come in lots of different colors, but mainly reds and pinks. It means bashfulness, happy life, happy marriage, good health, prosperity. http://peonyparadise.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=2
