Moss is selected to be the emblem of maternal love, because, like that love, it glads the heart when
the winter of adversity overtakes us, and when summer friends have deserted us.
With this words Vanessa Diffembaught opens her novel: The Language of Flowers.
A story stitched on the ancient knowledge that each flower has a meaning and how from twentieth century - even if this knowledge has been lost in our time - flowers and plants were used and wisely combined to exchange secret messages.
My wife Chiara and I decided to exchange our vows through the meaning of flowers, therefore the invitation to our wedding depicts a bouquet collecting all the flowers and plants whose meaning is important to us.
