Being a gypsy bride is a way that brings you near to the cheap planning of your wedding celebration allowing you to use gypsy’s wedding flowers represented by the blooms of the chrysanthemums, the ones that are often used in the floral decoration of a gypsy wedding.

Celebrating outdoors this special day asks for the presence of natural flowers that match both in color and blossom to the atmosphere of the wedding, to the theme designed to express your feelings and to the color of your gypsy wedding dress, which most of the time relates to the passion that runs through gypsies’ veins – red, the color of passionate love. Beside the red roses that a gypsy bride chooses to decorate her hands, the red rose which is so close to the meaning of gypsy’s way of loving and caring, the chrysanthemum is also selected as gypsy’s wedding flower.

These flowers, besides the fact that are popularly used to decorate the usual outdoor wedding celebrations, are renowned as having the meaning of joy and optimism. Their history goes back to the 15^th century B.C. when myths have seen them as the flowers to carry their petals displayed in a perfect unfolding; this is the reason that they have been suggested as the flowers to be used as object of meditation. It is said also that one single petal of this bloom being placed at the bottom of a glass of wine is meant to bring healthy long life.

Chrysanthemums can be selected as flowers to decorate the gypsies’ Vardos, the chariots meant to carry the wedding couples, the chosen colors being most of the times yellow and orange. Other alternative to the natural flowers that are meant to decorate the atmosphere of a gypsy wedding is the artificial flower craft-fully designed by the gypsy artisans, a bloom to represent the same yellow center surrounded by the decorative pompon of petals lavishly displaying colors of white, yellow, red and purple.

The art to create handmade artificial wedding flowers came as a need to have their own unique flowers to decorate in their personal gypsy manner the ambient of various events planned to take place inside the nomadic groups of gypsy. Traveling a lot, not having their own steady place to reside, compelled the gypsy groups to adjust their life, culturally and socially, to the necessities that a life on the road requires.
