Thoughtful - In Red

This is Trinh in a traditional Vietnamese wedding Ao Dai. The flowers are white Chrysanthemums. In an image like this the Vietnamese lady traditionally has white lilies.

Interestingly...

Chrysanthemums are frequently included in arrangements for funeral services. In some European countries, such as France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary and Croatia, chrysanthemums are symbolic of death and are only used for funerals or on graves. In Vietname, China, Japan and Korea, white chrysanthemums are symbolic of lamentation and grief. In the US, they symbolize truth and usually regarded as positive and cheerful, with New Orleans as a notable exception.

The lily is the flower most commonly associated with funeral services in the west, as they symbolize the innocence that has been restored to the soul of the departed. The white lily expresses majesty and purity, where as white stargazer lilies specifically symbolize sympathy.
