BROWN FLOWERS / WEDDING BROWN FLOWERS/ MEANING OF WEDDING FLOWERS

Brown FLOWERS ARE one of the neutral colors symbolizing the earth. In nature, flower is encountered in the color of the soil, of dying fall leaves, in clay and wood. While regarded as dull, brown is a nourishing color associated to wholesomeness, simplicity and friendliness. It is also said to stimulate appetite, as brown is also the color of coffee, cocoa and chocolate.

Too much brown on the other hand, may cause lack of drive and ambition as it may be often a color suggesting laziness or a repressed personality. Brown represents everything that’s material, organic and down to earth.
