7. Daphnes
In Greek mythology, Daphne was the female nymph who stole the heart of the god Apollo and, because of this, she was turned into a delicate, petite flower to protect her from his advances. The Daphne is a cluster of tiny pink blossoms with yellow centres and, because they aren’t one of the most common flowers to use in a bouquet, they’re guaranteed to set your Wedding apart!
