Rose

Possibly the most romantic bloom that is known by most, the rose symbolises passion, love, and beauty. As the go-to flowers on Valentine’s Day and of course, weddings, one can never go wrong with these red beauties. Choosing the right type of rose however, requires more than just a trip to your local florist. With over three thousand different varieties of roses, there is quite a variety to choose from. To narrow your search, spray roses, hybrid tea roses, and garden roses are some of the more popular roses that are seen in weddings. They are mostly available in sold and bi-colours, although you may find a few varieties that are striped and tipped. As these blooms thrive well under hot and humid conditions, they are ideal for weddings held on our island. So of you are looking for a classic and beautiful bloom to compliment your big day, roses may be your go-to wedding flower.

Baby’s Breath

Baby’s Breath, or gypsophila, is commonly used for bouquets, boutonnieres, and centrepieces. Hugely popular in the ‘90s, these blooms are definitely back in trend, where they are commonly spotted in today’s rustic themed weddings. Long-lasting and relatively inexpensive, these blooms make the ideal decorations for outdoor wedding venues. 

Peony

With their full and fluffy blooms, peonies, especially the brightly coloured ones, are great for brightening a bride’s (and the wedding guest’s) day. If you’re looking for more variety but with the same lusciousness, feel freed to add roses or hydrangeas in your flower arrangements. Peonies may be more costly than most, but these pastel flowers, with their wonderful scent and ability to complement almost all wedding colour palettes, are worth the price.

Succulents 

A recent trend that is as durable as the plan itself, there is no better time than now to embrace the succulent’s popularity. Not only are they extremely durable, their ability to withstand high temperatures make them the perfect decorations for any garden weddings. With its wide variety of options and colours, don’t be afraid to amp up the uniqueness factor and include a succulent bouquet or garlands on your big day.

Sunflowers

With its vivid colour and sturdy petals, it’s easy to see why the sunflower has always remained as a popular wedding addition. The go-to flower for rustic weddings, the large blooms can also be cost-friendly when it comes to filling in large arrangements. Depending on the theme of your wedding, go ahead and mix up your bouquet! For instance, include white roses and gerbera daises in the arrangement, to bring out the sunflower’s petals. If you’re looking for a more subtle way of bringing out the sunflower, use shades of orange and blue that doesn’t emphasize on its yellow. As sunflowers tend to bloom more when placed under direct sunlight, do note to keep them in the shade and save the full bloom for the big day.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of flowers and add more details to your décor. Do however, avoid blooms with a tendency to droop under constant exposure to sunlight.
