Beautiful Blooms to Consider for Your Wedding Day

Somehow a wedding just doesn’t seem complete without flowers, but with so many options to choose from, where do you even start? Most of us don’t know enough about flowers to make educated choices so it’s best to listen to what your florist has to say before getting your heart set on anything – we don’t want to find out your favourite flowers aren’t available at the same time as your wedding!

You may already have some favorites in mind, and her is a list of flowers you might not have considered or even heard of!

7 Popular Flowers to Consider for Your Big Day

Roses

This is still a classic for weddings. What you might not know is that you get standard roses and garden roses. It’s the garden roses that tend to be the top choice for weddings because they have a fuller, more romantic look. They also tend to be more fragrant than standard roses. Availability: Spring & Summer

Peonies


These fluffy blooms are also a popular choice among brides. Not only because they’re such a romantic flower but because they’re available in a variety of colors too. Whether you use them on their own or combine them with other seasonal flowers, this is always a winning choice. Availability: Spring & Summer

Dahlias

This bold flower is available in several varieties and almost any color you can think of. They’re also ideal for brides on a budget. Availability: Mid-Summer to Fall

Anemones

If you are looking for something unique, you will love anemones. The petals might be delicate but the center of the flower is dark and striking. If you are opting for a moody wedding theme, these are ideal. Availability: Early Winter to Early Summer

Lilies of the valley

These bell-shaped flowers are a favorite for bridal bouquets in particular. In fact, these flowers often feature in iconic bouquets. Combining several bunches of this flower with the greenery intact is simply beautiful. Availability: Spring
