Types Of Wedding Flowers

This year’s bride is definitely the happiest brides of all times. She can benefit of a wide range of varieties in styles, designs, colors, shapes, sizes and themes for wedding dresses, wedding cakes, wedding bouquets, centerpiece arrangements and wedding flowers.




There is no one left to say what types of wedding flowers are the most suitable for a wedding day, than the bride herself. It’s true that she must follow the wedding designer’s advices and do exactly as they say just to keep the pace with the latest trends in wedding flowers. Choosing the right types of wedding flowers can turn out to be quite a fun thing to do if the bride knows where to start and where to end.

The first thing that you must do is to consider your wedding style or theme: cosmopolitan, vintage, retro, antique, Medieval, Victorian, Renaissance, Bohemian, Celtic, Western, nature, Disney, fairy-tale English Garden, beach themed, etc. Once you’ve already figured out the season, location, theme and character – formal or informal, classy or casual, extravagant or simple, grandiose or intimate, of the wedding you can start planning the wedding flowers according to these aspects, just to make sure that everything matches properly.

Consider your wedding budget before you start shopping for wedding flowers to make sure that you won’t spend a fortune on some exotic type of wedding flower that you can’t afford to by. Opt for seasonal flowers because they are less expensive than imported ones, or go with artificial silk wedding flowers that can look incredibly lifelike and cost you a few dollars only.

For your wedding bouquet you can choose from the most popular types of wedding flowers such as calla lilies, garden roses, irises, tulips, sunflowers, hydrangeas, peonies, freesias, stephanotis, lily of the valley, orchids, hyacinth, gladiolas, asters, jasmines, chrysanthemums, gerbera daises or carnations. Each type of these wonderful natural flowers can compose a splendid wedding bouquet that has a more natural touch, a more extravagant look or a more lavish, loose or intricate design. On the other hand, if you’re planning a flowered garden or nature themed wedding and you want to decorate the wedding cake with flowers you’ve got lots of possibilities.

Whether you choose to ornate the cake with edible flowers such as lavender, rose, carnation, apple blossom, chrysanthemum, hyacinth, orange bloom, pansy, hibiscus, day lily, cornflower or thyme petals, whether you decide to place real wedding flower bouquets on the top of the cake, here and there or in a cascading style, the effect will be superb and incredibly romantic. As for the wedding centerpieces, you can mix several natural or artificial types of wedding flowers to create a matching arrangement or go with a more fashionable, hot and trendy creative non floral centerpiece alternative, using rocks, books, sticks, herbs, candles or lanterns.
