Romantic Meaning of Flowers

Romance comes in many forms, like little love notes, vintage lingerie, and chocolate truffles. Yet flowers are the ultimate expression of romance. In more romantic times, every flower had a special meaning, so the gesture of giving a bouquet was enhanced by the significance of each individual flower.

Arianne Camisoles, Teddies, and Lingerie

Arianne Lingerie is one of the most popular lingerie brands for good reason. Their quality is excellent and their designs always go the extra mile. For instance, their Jade Teddy has a three-snap closure in the thong bottom, which Arianne covers beneath a layer of fabric for comfort, as well as sexiness. Arianne Lingerie also makes gorgeous plus size camisoles, such as the Flora Camisole, which has a figure-flattering cut, as well as wide straps to keep your bra out of sight.

Make a Fashion Statement with Merrywidows

Camisoles aren't the only article of clothing that can serve as both lingerie and outerwear. Surprisingly enough, sexier lingerie like merrywidows can be perfect for dressing up your favorite skirt or pants.

Merrywidows are a boned item of lingerie with garters (usually detachable) and often with detachable shoulder straps. They have the amazing ability to rearrange your natural curves into a voluptuous hour-glass.

Wear them as a top with a black satin skirt or fitted trousers. Or, slip a sheer chiffon blouse over the merrywidow for a subtle and elegant effect.

Custom Weddings and Personalized Bridal Lingerie

The trend in weddings is definitely towards personalization. Weddings are being custom-designed to suit the tastes of the bride and groom, and dresses are being tailor-made, as well. People are enjoying playing with traditions as well as modern styles.

The easiest things to personalize are:

1. The flowers. Whether you want pussy willow branches or pink roses, the flowers can create whatever ambience you desire.

2. The clothes. From custom-designed wedding and bridesmaid dresses to personalized bridal lingerie, the happy couple can let their spirits soar.

3. The food. Why stick to what’s expected? One of the best wedding cakes I’ve ever had was a friend who threw tradition to the wind and got a dark chocolate wedding cake, frosted in rich fudge. (Her opinion on the matter: Why would anyone want to ruin a fabulous chocolate cake by covering it up with white frosting?)
