Wedding poems
Today is your most special day,
With words of love along the way.
May the love that brought you here
Grow stronger with each passing year.
Two lives have joined to become one,
Two hearts now beat in unison.
May happiness fill your home
And may you never feel alone.
May sunshine greet you every morning,
May every evening bring you rest,
May love and kindness keep on growing,
And may your life be truly blessed.
Flowers and a gift with your wishes
At a wedding, it is customary to give the bride a bouquet or a shared arrangement for the couple. Choose light shades: white and cream roses, peonies, hydrangeas, eustoma. Flowers in a box are convenient because they don't need water right away, so the couple can collect their gifts after the party. For the meaning of flowers in a bridal bouquet, see wedding bouquet flower meanings, and for decoration ideas, see wedding floral decor.

Ready-made options are in flowers for newlyweds and bridal bouquets. If you can't attend the wedding in person, order a bouquet with a card delivered to the venue.
