8 Popular Wedding Flowers

Popular wedding flower choices will depend on a range of factors, not least of which is personal preference. Other factors include seasonal availability and regional trends. Yet for all that, certain flowers are ever-popular choices for weddings thanks to their symbolism and versatility. Not to mention of course, their beauty.

Here we look at 8 popular wedding flowers.

1. Roses

2. Peonies

With their lush, ruffled blooms and intoxicating fragrance, people love peonies for their romantic charm. These flowers symbolise prosperity, good fortune and a happy marriage. Thus, they’re much sought after for bridal bouquets and centre-pieces.

6. Lilies

Lilies are elegant flowers that come in various shapes, sizes and colours. These positive attributes make them versatile additions to wedding bouquets and arrangements.

One note of caution; remove the stamens as they will stain and this is incredible difficult to remove. Ni on impossible on a white wedding gown. And you don’t want this stress on your wedding morning.

7. Baby’s Breath

Baby’s breath, otherwise known as gypsophila, is a delicate filler flower known for its tiny, cloud-like blooms and airy appearance. These flowers are often used to add texture and volume to bouquets and arrangements, creating a soft and romantic aesthetic.

8. Sunflowers

Sunflowers are cheerful, vibrant flowers that symbolize happiness, positivity and longevity. These bold blooms add a pop of colour and a touch of rustic charm to wedding decor, particularly for outdoor or country-themed weddings. But, rather than worrying about what’s ‘right’ choose flowers that resonate with you.
