Gerber Daisy Wedding Invitations

The gerbera daisy has the scientific name of Gerbera Jamesonii and belongs to the same family of flowers as daisies and sunflowers. The gerbera daisy was discovered in South Africa in 1884 by Robert Jameson and its common name comes from the German naturalist Traugott Gerber. This flower is also known as African daisy, Transvaal daisy, Barberton Daisy or Ghostly daisy and it ranks on the fifth place on the list of the world’s popular flowers behind the tulip, the rose, the chrysanthemum and the carnation. The colors of the gerbera daisies are yellow, orange, red or pink but not only. They symbolize innocence, beauty and purity.


A bouquet of assorted gerbera daisies is the perfect way to brighten your loved one’s day because it can represent cheerfulness; on the non-smoking day, celebrated on May 31^st , it is a custom for non-smokers to receive an orange gerbera. Because of its popularity and its beautiful appearance the gerbera daisy is often used for the wedding flower arrangements. If you are planning a traditional or a classic wedding ceremony, the gerbera daisy will make a perfect choice as design for the wedding invitations.

The gerbera daisy wedding invitations come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes, but you can also make them yourself if you have the necessary time and inspiration. It usually comes way cheaper to order them online. Weddings are all about the bride and groom but also about details such as the flower arrangements in the wedding hall, the bride’s dress or the wedding invitations. Always consider to match the design of your wedding invitation with your themed wedding ceremony. Simple wedding invitations have their beauty, especially when you do know how to select them from a wide variety available on the market. If the simple wedding cards are just too simple for your taste, an option would be to choose for the right invitation card from the multiple combinations of colors, patterns, sizes and shapes available for sale.

The text on the wedding could either be engraved, printed or hand-written. The most popular and affordable method of printing a wedding invitation is thermography, with the raised letter effect. If you don’t like to follow the formal wedding invitations instructions, an idea would be to add a personal touch by writing some poetry lines, verses or favorite quotes. The wording etiquette demands that a wedding invitation should give information about the wedding ceremony: first mentioned name should be that of the wedding hosts, the names of the future married couple and their parents, the exact date and time of the ceremony and the location with some details if necessary. You can use the classic double envelope or a single envelope, but it is required that these envelopes should either be hand addressed or printed, but I suggest the first option.

Consider sending a ‘save the date’ wedding card if you know for sure the basic information about your wedding and if you don’t have any intention of changing it. Try to use the same motif on the ‘save the date’ card as on your wedding invitations. Try to send the wedding invitations with six to eight weeks in advance, especially when you are waiting for the attendance response and be sure to confirm the precise number of guests attending to your wedding ceremony only so that you can avoid crowding the wedding hall.
If you find the planning of the wedding too difficult for you alone you can always ask for the help of a wedding planner or search for tips on the internet about how should the wedding ceremony look like. I highly recommend the gerbera daisy wedding invitations because they will match perfectly with your wedding ceremony, being either a traditional or a less conventional one.
