Flowers are a symbol of any celebration. This also applies to the wedding day: the selection of floral accompaniment is an important part of the preparation for the wedding ceremony, and the more thoughtful this preparation will be, the more beautiful and brighter the wedding will be.
- Peonies
These flowers are the first things that come to mind for almost any bride. Many girls dream of having a wedding with peonies, but unfortunately, they are almost impossible to find in the cold season. Even during the short blooming period (April through June), they are quite expensive. But don’t despair. Just use peonies only for the bride’s bouquet and holiday table decorations.
Peonies are lush, delicate and elegant flowers. Peonies can be assembled as a mono bouquet or as a floral arrangement Flowwow with them, and either way, peonies will look great. They can be easily ordered in late spring, early summer.
- Roses
Many of you have probably guessed that there are many varieties of roses. And they are all quite different. For example, the larger, fluffy and multi-petal species are great for decorating a bridal bouquet or as the main accent of the decor – they are often used instead of the more expensive and rare peonies. But small bush ones add tenderness to any composition, but they are not the main element.
Rose is considered the undisputed world leader among wedding flowers. The rose, loved by poets and writers, is indispensable in wedding floristics, it fits any style, fits into any composition, and on its own, without any additions, looks great. The great Shakespeare dedicated his 54th sonnet to this flower, calling it “The Sweet Fragrance of Roses”.
- Anemones
As a rule, the choice in favour of anemones gives brides who love everything unusual and different. This is not surprising, because the wedding bouquet of anemones looks just magical! This flower has a diverse palette of colours: you can see different shades of petals, such as white, red, pink, purple and many others. That is why the anemone can be added to almost any wedding bouquet, combining it harmoniously with other flowers. Its large petals and rich, often dark, core make the bouquet very expressive and bright. Despite its external firmness, the wedding bouquet with anemones is considered quite capricious and fragile. These flowers do not like the heat, so most often brides choose them for winter weddings.
Tip: If you choose anemones for a summer wedding, try to keep the bouquet cool and away from direct sunlight. In the evening, you can put it in cold water with ice cubes to preserve the beauty of the flowers for a little longer.
- Ranunculus
Ranunculi come in a variety of colours. White representatives of this flower family are a manifestation of the desire to conquer. When flowers are used in a bridal bouquet, their meaning is slightly softened – here they symbolize mutuality, harmony of the two people entering into marriage. The white colour itself means purity, innocence, sincerity. If you want to emphasize a certain “holiness” of your marriage, give preference to white buttercups. In addition, the classic wedding composition with such flowers will go perfectly with any dress.
- Lilacs
Not only do they have an extremely delicate appearance, but they also smell amazing. So if you’re thinking of a spring wedding, lilacs can help you recreate the perfect atmosphere.
