Your wedding day is one of life's most important moments, and flowers deserve to take centre stage. Would you like to send flowers to the newlyweds? White and pastel-coloured flowers that radiate purity and love are the classic choices – but modern weddings are increasingly opening up to personal colour choices and creative themes.
Peonies – luxurious romance
Peonies have become enormously popular as wedding flowers in recent years. The full, soft petals in pink, white and red create a sense of unparalleled luxury and romance. Both in the bridal bouquet, table decorations and flower arch, peonies make a fantastic display. They bloom from May to June, making them the perfect summer wedding flower.
White roses – the timeless choice
White roses are the very symbol of purity, new beginnings and eternal love – everything a wedding day is about. A large bouquet of white roses is timeless and elegant, regardless of wedding theme. Combine them with greenery and eucalyptus for a modern, nature-inspired look.
Hydrangea – impressive volume
Hydrangea is a favourite amongst wedding florists. The large flower clusters in white, blue and pink provide instant volume and splendour. Hydrangea decoration at the wedding reception looks magnificent and luxurious, and works equally well as a standalone bouquet and as decoration.
White lilies – ceremonial splendour
White oriental lilies have a wonderful fragrance and create a ceremonial, luxurious atmosphere. They are excellent in large wedding arrangements and as part of the bridal bouquet. Remember that lilies shed pollen which can stain clothing – remove the stamens beforehand.
Anniversaries – celebrate with flowers
For wedding anniversaries, you can choose flowers based on the milestone:
- Silver anniversary (25 years): White and silver tones – white roses, white lilies, hydrangea.
- Golden anniversary (50 years): Gold and yellow tones – yellow roses, sunflowers, gerbera in orange and yellow.
- Bronze anniversary (8 years): Warm bronze tones – peonies in deep pink, apricot-coloured roses.
- Round anniversaries (10, 20, 30 years): A large, impressive bouquet in your spouse's favourite colour.
