Bouvardia – fragrant; flower will last for up to 3 weeks

Calla Lily – elegant trumpet shape

Carnation – offers the widest selection of colors and sizes; avoid placing carnations near displays of fruits and vegetables because it is sensitive to gasses emitted

Chrysanthemum – a preferred wedding flower; most common in yellow; can be dyed to match color scheme

Dahlia – strong, spicy smell; come in a variety of colors and two-tone shades

Delphinium – perfect for an “old-fashioned wedding” theme; unscented

Nerine – also known as spider lily; airy appearance provides a contemporary look

Traditional bouquets are all white. Good choices for all-white bouquets include fragrant Stephanotis, gardenia, white roses, and orchids.

For colorful fall bouquets, be sure to choose hues appropriate for the season. Rich jewel-tones are very popular right now, including deep purple, bold blues, and vibrant red and pink. Fall flowers that embody these bold hues include anemone, aster, Bird of Paradise, red or pink calla lilies, carnation, chrysanthemum, freesia, gerbera, gladiola, iris, liatris, lily, nerine, roses, stock, and sunflower. With vibrant hues, it is appropriate to use a wide mix of blooms.

For cold-weather weddings, consider using non-floral elements, which add texture and depth to a fall arrangement, including berries, pods, even pomegranates.

A trend in cold-weather bouquets is including non-floral elements, such as the use of pepper berries, herbs, eucalyptus berries, or even feathers. Eucalyptus is also an excellent choice in arrangements and bouquets. It is hardy, aromatic, and symbolizes good luck.

For contemporary weddings, trends include low table arrangements with large blooms, including statement-making blooms such as protea and chrysanthemum, or grouping multiple small vases together as a centerpiece. Calla lilies or long-stemmed blooms are also perfect for more contemporary ceremonies.

A pretty trend for less formal ceremonies is wearing hardy sunflowers, available year-round, in the hair.

A classic bit of symbolism: Place blue and white irises at bride’s table to signify that marriage will have both vibrant and pales times

For a Victorian-style wedding, carry bouquet in a nosegay or basket.

Finally, consider using your “birth flower” in your bouquet or arrangements. Florists can help you determine the flower that corresponds to your birth month.
