  • Sunflower
  • Tuberose – very fragrant, often used in perfume industry; can be very expensive

    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.
