Beautiful floral wedding bouquet
Wedding flowers are an important part of any wedding. They’re usually carried in bouquets, help bring together the colour schemes and set the stage for the ceremony and reception. But there’s nothing worse than having your heart set on having certain types of flowers in your bouquet or floral displays, only to discover that they’re not in season and not available when you need them. So here’s a useful guide to some of the popular wedding flowers that are usually available all year round, and the colours you can get them in.
Carnations
Carnations are a great choice for wedding bouquets and floral displays for the wedding ceremony and reception, as they’re available all year round and come in such a variety of colours. Whether you’re after pale or deep pinks, vibrant reds, creamy whites or blues, carnations are a great choice for your wedding.
Delphinium
Delphinium flowers are available in colours such as blue, purple and white, making them perfect for including in wedding bouquets with a blue or purple colour scheme. The white flowers are also suitable for a wide range of wedding flower needs.
Lily of the Valley
Traditionally associated with white, lily of the valley flowers also sometimes come in a delicate shade of pink too. They smell lovely, so are ideal for any wedding bouquets or floral arrangements where you’d like the scent to be appreciated, as well as the look.
Roses
Although roses are typically associated with the summer months and are at their prime in June, you can purchase many roses all year round. Roses are often associated with love and romance, making them a popular choice for wedding flowers. They come in a variety of colours too, so fit in with many different wedding colour themes. If you want roses in winter, do bear in mind that you may end up paying more for them than in the summer months.
Orchids
Many brides choose to have a bouquet made up of extra special flowers and exotic orchids fit the bill wonderfully. Orchids come in lots of different colours, including white, pink, lilac and purple.
