Fleur De Lis Wedding Invitations

Fleur-de-lis is the symbolic stylization of the lily or iris flower used as decorative design especially in heraldic emblems. The French symbol of fleur-de-lis (translated as “flower of the lily”) lies in the legend of an angel who came to the King of the Franks presenting him a golden lily to symbolize the purification he had been through due to his adherence to Christianity. This is why this symbol has been since then used to reflect the French royalty in its belief toward light, perfection, and life. During King Louis VII reign, the symbol became for the first time the representation of French monarchy for later, the English kings to have it displayed on their coats to underline their “claim to the throne of France”.




Beginning with those times, the symbol of fleur-de-lis was given several representations: for instance, the Roman Catholic Church used it as the emblem of Virgin Mary, and because of its three petals stylized drawing it has been used to signify the Holy Trinity. Planning to run your wedding event in the holy spirit of your Catholic faith you have to come with the invitations that represent your belief and the way you see the act of marriage performed – in the place of worship under the protection and holy blessing of God.
