Wedding flowers: Top 5 most sought-after types
Choosing wedding flowers is by no means an easy task. While it might initially seem like a minor detail, flowers are one of the key elements of a wedding celebration. In other words, a wedding without flowers is unthinkable—just like a wedding without a best man. It simply doesn't work.
Flowers adorn church pews and the altar, the registrar's office, tables in the reception hall, the guests' boutonnieres, the groom's lapel, and, most extravagantly and beautifully, the bride's wedding bouquet.
Floral arrangements deserve the same level of attention as selecting the menu, ensuring food quality, and drafting the guest list. The choices are vast (both in guests and flowers), but don't let that intimidate you.
Below, we reveal the top five most sought-after flower types for weddings (you'll have to create the guest list on your own). This floral quintet is known for its elegance, refinement, high aesthetic appeal, and durability—making it a total hit among brides.
The most popular flowers for weddings:
ROSES
Roses are a timeless classic and the most sought-after flower variety for weddings. Available year-round in a wide range of beautiful colors and shapes, rose floral decorations add romance, charm, and elegance to any venue. Their timeless nature (roses are as popular today as they were hundreds of years ago) symbolizes the eternal love that binds the couple and is celebrated on weddings. As Shakespeare said, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet," and it's easy to understand why he chose this flower to describe someone's beauty.
PEONIS
Did you know that the peony is a favorite flower of many women? The luxurious peony, which exudes endless happiness, is the perfect flower for a wedding. It is an excellent choice to tell your love story and add a special shine to your big day. Peonies radiate romance and symbolize a happy marriage, prosperity, happiness, wealth, honor, and compassion. This spring flower is available in beautiful shades of pink, white, and red. Its captivating scent and impressive texture are sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests.
HYDRANGEA
Graceful hydrangeas, with their large and lush blooms, symbolize abundance and take our breath away with their beauty. These beauties come in a wide range of colors, with white and soft pink hydrangeas being the most popular choices for wedding flowers. More adventurous couples opt for vibrant pink, and even green and blue hydrangeas. If you want floral decorations that will be remembered as a beautiful memento from your wedding, hydrangeas are a perfect choice.
ORCHID
We are mistaken when we assume that what is simple is automatically ordinary or boring.
If you love simplicity, stay true to it even in the most festive occasions. You don't have to resort to extravagant and colorful floral decorations if minimalism makes you feel comfortable. Even the simplest floral arrangements can be incredibly effective and beautiful if the work is done well.
Incorporating orchids into wedding floral arrangements brings timeless elegance and creates a sense of luxury. The orchid perfectly combines eternal classic beauty with a modern touch, and the variety most commonly chosen for weddings is Phalaenopsis.
Phalaenopsis floral arrangements are glamorous yet restrained, with an overall aesthetic exuding refined, sophisticated, high-end style. The Phalaenopsis orchid is available year-round in beautiful pastel shades.
GYPSOPHYLLA
Baby's Breath, scientifically known as Gypsophila, has become an essential element in floral decorations in recent years. Characterized by tiny white flowers, it is so effective that it makes a noticeable difference wherever it's placed. Delicate, charming, and feminine, it's no surprise that it ranks among the top five favorite flowers for brides.
Often chosen by incurable romantics, Baby's Breath is available year-round. It's perfect for combining with other flower types and creating irresistible, soft, cloud-like arrangements with beautiful floral volume. Baby's Breath can be described in two words – small dynamite!
