The wedding roses stamps feature two beautiful white roses to ensure that your wedding correspondence will be remembered. Stamps Pattern Background Suitors introduced the rose as a symbol of love in the Victorian Era. Strict rules of conduct made it impossible for smitten young men to express their emotions verbally. A “language of flowers” developed, which allowed lovers to communicate sentiments by the type, color, and a number of flowers they gave one another. The gift of red roses is a declaration of love, while pink roses convey sweetness, grace, and poetic romance. White roses carried on a bride’s wedding day signify eternal love, purity, and innocence. According to tradition, long-stemmed roses are an expression of love and devotion. They represent the love that is deep and long-lasting. Because the number twelve represents a complete cycle, a dozen roses are the symbol of complete love. Since there are 24 hours in a day, two dozen roses signify complete devotion to each moment of every day. So it's a special way to send a message of love to use the stamps with the wedding roses.
