Arrangements for Wedding Ceremony Flowers

A bouquet and boutonniere are some of the indispensable items for the main characters of the wedding. They make brides and grooms stand out by their vivid colors and organic shapes. Also, their floriography takes a big part of their wedding theme, so you need to choose a relatable type of flower. Here are 4 types of flowers that you can consider.

1. Rose

Rose is the most popular flower for a wedding. Because it is a representation of love and beauty, you might think a rose is too traditional and common for the bridal bouquet and boutonniere. Although, you can create a unique bouquet and boutonniere by using various colors, types, and sizes of rose.

2. Tulip

Since tulip is a symbol of “true love”, you can have a cute bouquet and boutonniere by using tulips. Also, its oblong-shaped petals and textures create an elegant mood for the bride and groom. This flower has a wide range of hues and vibrant shades, so you can personalize your own bouquet and boutonniere easily.

3. Peony

Peony is another impressive flower for the wedding ceremony. Because it is a symbol of “love and romance, wealth, and honor”, it is the perfect fit for the bridal bouquet and boutonniere. With its plentiful petals and strong, elegant fragrance, it is enough to build a luxurious mood and make the bride and groom stand out through its bright colors.

4. Baby’s Breath

Baby’s breath is a popular flower known for purity and innocence. Since its buds are tiny, it is more attractive to use with other types of flowers than use it alone. For example, using red roses and white baby’s breaths upgrades your wedding luxuriously by their combination of vivid colors and fresh fragrances. Furthermore, it is an inexpensive flower, so it is a good choice for your floral arrangements and decorations if you try to find a cost-effective flower.
