Types Of Flowers for a Wedding

One of the endless decisions that need to be made in preparation for the big day is exactly what types of flowers should be present. Though to a man this may seem a minor detail, to a woman it is one of the key elements of the ceremony. This is actually quite understandable as they can play a major role in the aesthetics of a professional service. What certainly does not make the decision easy however is the sheer number of types of flowers for a wedding. Of course considering the seasonal nature of the items, the time of year that you throw your wedding does need to be considered. Most choose to host their special day during the summer however so I will now outline the most popular and beautiful types of flowers for a wedding that is held during this season.

The Most Traditional Types of Flowers for a Wedding

Of course the quintessential types of flowers for a wedding are roses. Though not exactly adding an element of uniqueness to your wedding, they are considered the signature of both love and happiness. They also come in an array of different colours meaning that can have something traditional but not necessarily be bound to the traditional colour of red.

The Most Laid Back Types of Flowers for a Wedding

Hydrangeas are available in four main colours, specifically white, blue, purple and pink. These colours are all low key and mellow and lead to a very pure blend of light colours symbolising the spirituality of the union of two souls. Due to the fact that they have very large blooms, they have the additional advantage of enabling the purchaser to buy fewer of them and still have a professional looking arrangement.

The Most Vibrant Types of Flowers for a Wedding

Gerber daisies offer pretty much the opposite of the previous flowers on the list by coming in a variety of colours that couldn't be further from the mellow spectrum offered by hydrangeas. They come in pink, red, orange and yellow as well as the more traditional white. Such colours can ensure a stunning and brightly coloured ceremony and though they can easily be put into professional looking arrangements, they are actually one of the cheapest wedding flowers available.

The Brightest Types of Flowers for a Wedding

In my opinion sunflowers are the most beautiful flowers that can be chosen for a summer wedding. They are bright, fun and the very definition of summer. Though it can be quite the task to choose colours that will not clash with the shocking yellow and black, when pulled off, the effect can be close to spectacular. What is also great about these flowers is that they can easily be picked as opposed to bought, which those in the know will be aware could subtract up to ten percent of your total wedding bill.

In conclusion, the flowers in this list are by no means the only options, they are however the most popular choices and are so for a reason. The one thing to remember is that the best types of flowers for a wedding are generally a matter of personal taste and the taste in question is certainly not the grooms.
