Incorporate The Fleur-de-Lys into your Wedding for a Touch of French royalty

Looking for a symbol to build your wedding theme around? The fleur-de-lys is perfect; in fact, fleur-de-lys themed weddings are the hottest new trend for 2011. Symbol of French royalty, with connotations of nobility, devotion and purity, the fleur-de-lys is a simple sign which can be woven through your entire wedding décor to create a beautifully coherent theme.

The flowers themselves come in a broad array of colors and are fantastically versatile, which means you can adapt it to whatever your existing color scheme is.

Though the emblems are traditionally seen in black or gold, the fleur also looks uber-elegant in silver, which contrasts nicely with paler shades like aqua and mint. Use the fleur symbol to add interest to the napkins, place cards and invitations. You can even have it iced on the wedding cake, or subtly embroidered onto your dress. The combination of silver fleur designs and aqua with green décor will make your fleur-de-lys theme wedding a surefire hit!
