Flower arrangements for Western banquet tables

The flowers on the dining table should be relatively elegant and should not be too colorful. But for Westerners, there are some taboo flowers: flowers are beautiful and charming. They make people feel vigorous vitality and upward vitality. However, the meaning of certain flowers is also different in different countries. . For example, tulips are regarded as a symbol of love in Turkey, but Germans consider them to be emotionless flowers. The orchid is a symbol of Southeast Asia and in Poland is considered the flower of passion. The white lily was a symbol of beauty and hope to the Romans, while in Persia it was considered a symbol of innocence and chastity. Lotus flowers are highly valued in China, India, Thailand, Bangladesh, Egypt and other countries, but in Japan they are regarded as an unlucky thing symbolizing sacrifices. Chrysanthemum is a special flower for the Japanese royal family, and people respect it very much. However, chrysanthemum is considered a "demon flower" in Spain, Italy and Latin American countries and can only be used in cemeteries and funerals. In France, yellow flowers are seen as a sign of disloyalty.

It has become a common practice not to use chrysanthemums, azaleas, dianthus, and yellow flowers to present to guests on international social occasions. The same goes for the dining table.
