Flowers from Greek Mythology: A Collection of Anemone Wedding Bouquets ♡

Anemone Flowers are Captivating ♡
With their sophisticated presence, anemone flowers exude an elegant atmosphere even as a single bloom, adding an accent to any bouquet ♡
Anemones bloom from February to April.
They are seasonal flowers that are perfect for brides who are about to celebrate their weddings ♡
Is the Language of Flowers a Bit Sad…?
Anemones are often used in wedding bouquets and venue decorations both domestically and internationally, but their language of flowers has a somewhat sad meaning.
☑ Innocent victim
☑ Fleeting love
☑ Suffering in love
☑ Fading hope
These are some of their meanings.
The origin of such sad flower meanings comes from Greek mythology.
Zephyrus, the god of the west wind who announces the arrival of spring, falls in love with Anemone, the attendant of his wife, the flower goddess Flora.
Flora tries to keep Anemone away from Zephyrus, but he cannot give her up.
Angered by this, Flora banishes Anemone from the flower garden.
Unable to let go, Zephyrus turns Anemone into a flower and keeps her in the garden.
Anemone, transformed into a flower, is caught up in the romantic entanglements of the gods.
Perhaps it is because of this sorrowful story that the anemone flower has an inexplicable charm that draws people in.
That said, while the general language of flowers for anemones is sad, the white anemone symbolizes "truth," "expectation," and "hope."
Additionally, from a Greek mythology perspective, it is seen as a "flower of love," making it a popular choice for bouquets conveying love in Europe.
So feel free to use them at your wedding ♡

What if they Say Anemones are Unavailable?
Anemones bloom from February to April. They are rare flowers that are only available for about a quarter of the year.
However, brides who plan to have a wedding outside this season should not give up!
Even if it's not the season for anemones, there are ways to have an anemone bouquet. One option is to use artificial flowers.
With artificial flowers, you can enjoy anemones any time of year.
Mixing them with fresh or preserved flowers is also recommended.
This bride used white gerbera with black centers as a substitute for anemones in her bouquet.
It looks just like an anemone!
This is an idea for brides who want to stick to fresh flowers.
