Biblical Meaning

In Scripture, the almond tree is the first to awaken after winter, often blooming while everything else is still dormant. In Hebrew, it was called the watcher, because its early blossoms symbolized God’s vigilant faithfulness.

In Jeremiah 1:11–12, God shows Jeremiah an almond branch and says,

“I am watching over my word to perform it.”

The almond branch became a sign that God keeps His promises, even in seasons that still feel quiet or unfinished. Almond blossoms also adorned the golden lampstand in the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:33–34), reflecting light, revelation, and God’s presence among His people.

Meaning in Marriage

Almond represents the season of promise and expectancy — the assurance that God is already at work, even when answers are still unfolding. Just as the almond awakens before spring fully arrives, it reflects a marriage built on trust in God’s faithfulness, not human timing or effort.

Color Description

A warm, creamy ivory — soft, pure, and timeless.

Biblical Meaning

Blush Rose reflects the tender, covenant love of God — a love marked by devotion, faithfulness, and nearness. Throughout Scripture, God describes His love for His people in affectionate, committed language:

“I will betroth you to Me forever.”

— Hosea 2:19

“He brought me to the banqueting table, and His banner over me was love.”

— Song of Solomon 2:4

These passages reveal a love that is not fleeting or distant, but present, pursuing, and devoted. Blush tones echo this heart-level closeness — the gentle devotion with which Christ loves His Bride.

Meaning in Marriage

Blush Rose represents the season of love expressed through devotion — the daily, intentional choice to cherish one another with patience and care. It reflects a marriage marked by tenderness, faithfulness, and a heart inclined toward one another in both ordinary and sacred moments.

Color Description

A refined, soft muted blush with warm undertones — romantic and elegant.

Biblical Meaning

Misty Morning draws from the deeply comforting truth of Lamentations 3:22–23:

“His mercies are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Throughout Scripture, morning represents renewal and God’s faithful presence. Morning mist speaks of fresh beginnings — the quiet clearing of what was, and the gentle unfolding of what is to come. It reflects the steady rhythm of God’s mercy, given again and again.

In Scripture, morning is often associated with:

— God's lovingkindness (Psalm 143:8)

— Joy after sorrow (Psalm 30:5)

— God's dependable presence in every season (Lamentations 3:22-23)

This color mirrors the quiet faithfulness of the Lord — steady, unfailing, and present, even when His work is still unfolding.

Meaning in Marriage

Misty Morning represents the season of grace lived out daily — the mercy to forgive, the humility to begin again, and the commitment to walk forward together. It reflects a marriage that thrives not on perfection, but on faithfulness, patience, and the grace that renews love day by day.

Color Description

A soft, airy dusty blue — peaceful, calm, and full of hope.

Biblical Meaning

Throughout Scripture, clay represents humanity in the hands of God.

“We are the clay, and You are our potter.” (Isaiah 64:8)

“The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground.” (Genesis 2:7)

“Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in My hand.” (Jeremiah 18:3–6)

Clay is not weak — it is moldable, formable, and purposeful. In the hands of the Potter, it can be reshaped, strengthened, and refined into something beautiful and enduring.

Terracotta Clay reflects the season of transformation through process — the pressure, softening, shaping, and refining that God uses with intention and care.

Meaning in Marriage

Marriage is one of God’s primary places of shaping. Through joy and challenge, sacrifice and growth, God gently molds two individuals into a unified whole.

Terracotta Clay honors the season of being formed together — trusting God’s hands even when the process feels stretching or unseen. This is the season where depth is built, strength is formed, and lasting beauty begins to take shape.

Color Description

A warm, earthy clay tone — grounded, natural, and full of depth.

Biblical Meaning

The olive tree and olive oil are among Scripture’s richest and most enduring symbols. Olive oil was used to anoint kings and priests, consecrate holy vessels, light the Temple menorah, and bring healing to wounds (Luke 10:34).

Olive oil marked what was set apart for God — filled, empowered, and sustained by His Spirit.

In Psalm 52:8, the righteous are compared to “an olive tree flourishing in the house of God,” rooted, fruitful, and enduring in His presence. The olive tree is known for its longevity, often producing fruit over many generations.

Meaning in Marriage

Olive represents a continual season of abiding — a marriage lived in God’s presence day after day. It reflects a relationship sustained by His Spirit, shaped by His peace, and strengthened through closeness to Him.

Rather than a single moment in time, this is the posture that carries a marriage through every season: remaining rooted, staying near, and growing together under His covering.

Color Description

A rich, grounded olive green — earthy, calming, and deeply symbolic.

Biblical Meaning

In Scripture, the myrtle appears as a symbol of restoration and enduring life. As an evergreen, it reflects life that remains through every season. Isaiah describes myrtle replacing thorns and briers — a picture of hardship transformed into beauty, and desolation turned into flourishing (Isaiah 55:13). This imagery reflects God’s promise to restore what has been broken and to bring life where there was once barrenness.

Because it remains green year-round, myrtle became a sign of God’s faithful presence. In Zechariah’s vision, the Lord stands among the myrtle trees, representing His nearness among a people being restored — watched over, protected, and renewed (Zechariah 1:8–11).

Because of its beauty and fragrance, myrtle became closely associated with weddings and bridal celebration. In Jewish tradition, fragrant myrtle branches were woven into wreaths for brides and grooms, symbolizing love, joy, and fruitfulness. Queen Esther’s Hebrew name, Hadassah — meaning “myrtle” — further connects this plant to beauty, hidden strength, and God’s redemptive work unfolding quietly yet powerfully.

Meaning in Marriage

Myrtle represents a season where God brings beauty from ashes — where life and love are shaped by His restoring hand. It reflects a marriage formed with intention, grace, and hope, trusting God to shape what is entrusted to Him.

This is the season where love is established with purpose, restoration is woven into the foundation, and beauty unfolds as the marriage is placed in God’s redemptive care.

Color Description

A classic, natural green — fresh, graceful, and refined.

Biblical Meaning

Psalm 23 presents a picture of the Lord as a gentle and attentive Shepherd:

“He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul.”

Still waters symbolize a season of rest, nourishment, and renewal. They are places of safety — where the soul can be restored, strength can return, and trust can deepen under God’s faithful guidance.

In Scripture, still waters are not rushed or forced. They reflect God’s intentional care, leading His people where they can be sustained and refreshed.

Meaning in Marriage

Still Waters represents seasons within marriage when God invites both hearts to rest — to slow down, listen, and be restored together. It reflects the peace that grows when a couple allows space for renewal, trust, and quiet companionship in the presence of the Lord.

These seasons strengthen a marriage, preparing it for the paths ahead.

Color Description

A deep, tranquil blue — calm, steady, and quietly reassuring.

Biblical Meaning

Throughout Scripture, wine is closely tied to covenant — most profoundly through communion and the New Covenant established by Christ.

At the Last Supper, Jesus took the cup and said,

“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you” (Luke 22:20).

From that moment forward, wine became a sacred symbol of remembrance — a visible sign of Christ’s sacrifice, willingly given in love. Each time believers partake in communion, they remember a covenant sealed through surrender and grace.

Jesus also spoke of new wine — teaching that it cannot be poured into old wineskins (Luke 5:37–38). New wine requires new wineskins: hearts made willing, surrendered, and ready to be shaped. In Scripture, new wine represents the fresh work of God’s Spirit — a transformed life that flows from grace, not rigid striving.

Before His death, Jesus also spoke with longing of what was still to come, saying that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine again until it is shared anew in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Matthew 26:29). In this way, wine holds both remembrance and promise — pointing backward to the cross and forward to eternal union.

Meaning in Marriage

Burgundy Wine represents the season where covenant is sealed — the wedding day itself, when vows are spoken, promises are made, and two lives are joined before God.

It also reflects the seasons that follow, where covenant is sustained through surrender — choosing love over self, humility over pride, and faithfulness over ease. Like new wine, marriage flourishes when hearts remain soft, teachable, and open to God’s transforming grace.

This color honors a marriage rooted in covenant — remembered, renewed, and ultimately fulfilled in God’s greater story.

Color Description

A deep, richly layered burgundy — warm, elegant, and reverent.

Biblical Meaning

In Scripture, the pomegranate is a symbol of divine blessing, abundance, and favor. It appears woven into the hem of the High Priest’s robe and carved into the pillars of the Temple — placed in spaces where God’s presence dwelled among His people.

It was also listed among the fruits of the Promised Land, representing a life marked by God’s provision and goodness. With its many seeds, it became a visible picture of abundance — rich, full, and overflowing.

Meaning in Marriage

Pomegranate represents seasons in marriage where God’s blessing becomes evident and abundance is experienced. This may include children, but it also reflects a life filled with joy, unity, hospitality, wisdom, and spiritual richness that grows over time.

This is a season where God’s favor produces a fullness that touches not only the couple, but those around them.

Color Description

A deep, berry-toned red — rich, vibrant, and full of life.

Biblical Meaning

Throughout Scripture, purple and amethyst are associated with kingship, priesthood, and heavenly glory. Amethyst appears in the High Priest’s breastplate and is named among the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem — places that reflect God’s authority, holiness, and design.

Because of its rarity and value in the ancient world, this color became a visible marker of honor, inheritance, and calling. It speaks not to status earned, but to identity bestowed by God.

Meaning in Marriage

Amethyst represents seasons in marriage when God affirms who a couple is in Him — beloved, chosen, and entrusted with a shared calling. It reflects the understanding that marriage is not only a covenant of love, but a partnership with purpose.

This is the season of walking confidently in identity, stewarding what has been given, and living from a place of worth rooted in Christ.

Color Description

A rich purple tone — regal, refined, and classic.
