You guys must know that I die in the world of couture and beautiful dresses.
Fashion
is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in
the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is
happening.

"fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is the sky, in the street, Fashion has to do with ideas, The way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel.
So my collection was basically inspired from the
Victorian era 1851 all the way to the 1950's
yes if I would ever have another life id choose to live in the 1950's
anyway here is the work

In Victorian
times, certain flowers had specific meanings because the flower selection was
limited and people used more symbols and gestures to communicate than words.
But today, with so many flower choices, there are no rules - it's the sentiment
that gives the gift its meaning. Your florist
can help you send the right message. Many people assign their own personal
meanings - a flower or color that might remind them of a special event or
moment in their lives. For those interested in the historic meanings of
flowers, the Society of American Florists has compiled this list from a variety
of different sources:

Now here is the meaning of the colors
Pink: Think pink and you think of
grace, gentility, and happiness. Regardless of the shape of the flower – from the
tight, small buds of a pink garden rose to the delicate, open petals of a pink
caellia in full bloom – pink blossoms convey youth, innocence, and joy.
Red: There’s an indisputable energy to the color red – an energy that has the power to transform an otherwise unassuming flower into the essence of desire, strength, and passionate love. With beauty, courage and heat as its symbolism, it’s no surprise that a bouquet filled with rich, red blooms knows no restraint.
Yellow: There’s a good reason why it can feel all but impossible
to refrain from smiling when you spot a bouquet of bright daffodils or a pot
filled with sun-drenched chrysanthemums–the color yellow evokes feelings of
joy and lightheartedness. Also a symbol of friendship, a bouquet bursting
with yellow blooms sends a message of new beginnings and happiness.
Orange: There’s nothing bashful about the color orange–its message is clear and blatantly proud. Symbolizing energy, enthusiasm, and warmth, an arrangement of blooms in this vibrant color conveys confidence, satisfaction and a passion for life.
Green: Synonymous with nature–and the perfect complement to any other bloom–the color green represents health, resilience, good fortune and youth. Whether used to throw together a diverse mixture of shapes and hues or as a restful tone-on-tone bouquet, green flowers send a message of optimism and renewal.
