Amaryllis wedding bouquets

For brides who are planning a unique modern wedding day, a striking amaryllis wedding bouquet can make the perfect choice. Amaryllis flowers come from the South of Africa and are also recalled as “belladonna lily”. Shaped in a funnel, these types of flowers come in various colors, from white to intense red, yellow, creamy orange, pink and purple. It is told that this type of flower means pride.




As we can easily observe from the pictures, amaryllis flowers surely look incredibly beautiful, majestic, grandiose, precious, elegant, stylish, impressive, imposing and attractive. So, for those of you who wish to attract more admiring glances on your bridal look a charming amaryllis wedding bouquet can be the ideal selection.

Amaryllis can be used for composing large wedding bouquets and lavish voluminous centerpieces. They can also be incorporated in bridal bouquets as the center flowers. Amaryllis look great in height arrangements and that is why you don’t necessarily need to use additional flowers.

Because of their largeness and grand size, a few stems of amaryllis can help you compose a beautiful wedding bouquet. Unfortunately not all the brides are familiarized with this type of flower. Few brides are aware of the secret beauty, daintiness, class and magnificence of the amaryllis flower and wish to use it in their weddings.

Any arrangement composed of amaryllis wedding flowers is definitely special and more eye-catching than the usual predictable ones made from roses.

We must excuse the brides who don’t know about the amaryllis flower as a wedding flower because the amaryllis is quite new in weddings. This type of flower is often associated with roses, orchids or with peony wedding flowers because it resembles them quite well.

There are many tales that can speak of the amaryllis’s history. In Greek mythology, the amaryllis flower bloom came from the Amaryllis princes who created the bloom with the blood of her heart. It doesn’t really matter whether these stories are true or not (although the truth is hard to believe in this context), we all love to believe in fairy-tales because they manage to take us to a magical wonderland. In Victorian times, the amaryllis was considered a symbol of splendid beauty.

Most brides who choose to go with an amaryllis wedding bouquet are usually choosing red or white amaryllis flowers for winter weddings. Perfect for a Christmas themed wedding, an amaryllis wedding bouquet is usually regarded as a holyday wedding flower bouquet.

There are many types of amaryllis hybrids. The most popular ones are: spiky amaryllis, miniature amaryllis, ruffled amaryllis or voluptuous amaryllis. One can find amaryllis wedding flowers between October and April months. If you wish to emphasize the natural beauty and splendor of the lavish blooms, cut the stems shortly.
