Fleur Dis Lis Wedding Invitations

The fleur-de-lis is a stylized design of an iris or lily, used nowadays decoratively and symbolically; its history stretching far back in time, supposedly into the times of antiquity, describes it as the emblem of Virgin Mary or as others say the three petals representing the holy Trinity.  In others opinion lily symbolizes the flower that had sprung from the tears shed by Eve as she left Eden. But its earliest and lastingly meaning is that of purity, that is why it has been adopted by the church in order to relate the Virgin Mary's sanctity to the events of special significance.

Over the centuries the fleur-de-lis symbol appeared on flags, being associated with the French monarchy and continues to be heraldically depicted on different historical royal houses. Because of the resemblance between an iris and a lily, this symbol of fleur-de-lis, has spread confusion in many writings on this subject, this happening quite in the late years, since it was during the 19^th century that the iris ceased to be known as a lily. If we search deeper we discover that the heraldic representation cuts the upper pair of its five petals, leaving the symbolic design with merely three petals of the flower.




Yet the meaning of the flower preserved through years and we find it to be so rich as the following range of meanings depicts: faith, wisdom,, valor, majesty,  purity, virginity; the white Lily, for instance is connected to Juno, the queen of gods in the Roman mythology.

Today's wedding tendency is to use more and more symbols that complies with the desires of the wedding couple. That is why the wedding invitation designers provide a wide range of inspired decorations to enrich the appearance of wedding cards. Some of these cards considered to have a print of majestic are fleur de lis wedding invitations. The symbol of this flower is often selected by wedding couples, especially the ones that have a taste for royalty combined with purity. There is a kind of contradiction in terms of meaning, since purity can not stay next to the meaning of royalty. The history proves it; but either way, the choice of fleur de lis wedding invitations is one that offers a richness of designs in a variety of colors and refinements.
