Baby's Breath has a slightly less than desirable reputation as a cheap filler flower from the grocery store. And it can look a little, well, tacky with a dozen red roses (just my opinion!). There is a time and place for everything, though, and so it is with Gypsophila. In the language of flowers, this one means "everlasting love", so really it can be fitting for a wedding celebration.
I was reading a favorite blog today and came across stunning wedding flowers. And the real gem was the Baby's Breath. I liked it so much I was inspired to do some searching and found an abundance of very pleasing arrangements of nothing but Baby's Breath. It is airy, fluffy, ethereal and quite dreamy when used alone. That is the key, sometimes... even with carnations, another flower with a bad rap- by massing them together you create a strong visual and high impact. Not bad for cheap flowers, right?
