Meaning and Significance
Proteas are native to South Africa and are known for their exotic and unique beauty. Proteas have become increasingly popular in weddings as they are a symbol of change, diversity, courage, and transformation. They are often used in bohemian and tropical-themed weddings (although not a tropical flower), adding an exotic touch to the floral arrangements. Proteas are also durable and long-lasting, making them a great choice for bouquets and centerpieces.
