Here are some more information for Family Crests:
Flowers have always been popular as decorations for weddings, and of course, brides and bridesmaids carry bouquets, whilst the groom and best man wear buttonholes. Traditionally the groom would choose a flower for his buttonhole which also featured in his bride's bouquet. This seems to be a reflection of the days when a knight would wear his lady's colours as a display of his love.
The idea of a bride carrying flowers seems to have developed because the perfume was thought to drive away evil spirits. Both bride and groom wore garlands of flowers in Roman times, to represent new life and fertility. The Victorians were fond of sending love messages through flowers and the meanings of different flowers were widely understood. Brides naturally incorporated these meanings into their bouquets.
The tradition of a young flower girl walking ahead of the bride and scattering flower petals seems to have developed as a way of warding off evil spirits.
Flowers for a wedding are usually chosen for personal taste and colour schemes. However, you may be interested to know the meanings of some of the most popular flowers chosen for bouquets:

are all family crests or coat of amrs the same if your from different races?
its because there is only one crest for my family's last name and it says that there's different branches. wat does that mean?
Race does not determine a coat of arms. There might be a hundred coats of arms for people with the same surname, and that's because individuals were either granted a coat of arms (Britain) or assumed a coat of arms (everywhere else), and then passed them on to their children.
Here is how heraldry works in Britain. Mr. Smith would pay the heraldic authority for a new design, and they would design and provide him with a coat of arms. Mr. Smith's cousin down the road would apply to the heraldic authority for a coat of arms, and his might be completely different. So the children of these two Smiths might have completely different coats of arms. Multiply this by a thousands Smiths and you get the picture.
Here is how the scam sites work. They pick one of the Smith's coat of arms, and then claim every Smith has a right to bear the arms. But this is clearly false, since the Smith you descend from had different arms or no arms at all. Sometimes the scam sites say there is an English and a Spanish version, for example. That is still bogus, because in Spain there might also be different branches with different arms.
