Reply:It's the most important day of one's life, and every detail is decided down to the smallest details. What flowers the bride will carry is one of those little details that will be decided well in advance. Wedding bouquets have always had certain staples. Roses are always a popular option, and so are lilies. The most popular wedding flowers are listed below.



The Calla Lily



The Calla Lily means "magnificent beauty" and holds its origin in Africa. It is also called the arum lily. Calla lilies are elegant and refined, and come with two distinct varieties: a larger trumpet variety for long flowing bouquets and the smaller version for compact nosegays. Calla lilies come in cream, yellow, orange, pink, mauve, and purple.



The Gardenia



The Gardenia is a wonderful smelling flower for wedding bouquets. It has dark waxy leaves and stands out in a crowd. The flowers bruise easily so care needs to be taken when these are part of a big bouquet, or a wedding centerpiece. This flower was brought



over by an Englishman in the 1700's traveling through South Africa.



The Hydrangea



Hydrangeas are big statement making flowers. It means "vanity" in most flower language guides. Its blooms will range, usually white, green, pink, blue, and purple. Its color will change due to the acidity of the soil in which it is grown. Hydrangeas in wedding flower bouquets are really making progress due to the new trend of color and boldness.



The Lily of the Valley



Ah, lily of the valleys. It is such a delicate and breathtaking flower for wedding arrangements. It has small bell shaped blooms and can be called the "ladder of heaven". It has a rich heritage, stemming from Norse mythology and Ostara the goddess of springtime. This is a hugely expensive bloom to have in your bouquet, so keep its statement well refined. This flower comes in white and a rare pink.



The Stephanotis



Stephanotis has a flower meaning of "marital happiness", and its small white blooms are lovely in their star look and their waxy florets. It isn't cheap, but it isn't very expensive either, and their perfect for year round. This is a very traditional flower to have in wedding flower bouquets.



The Tulip

Tulips are a native of Persia and are viewed as the flower of "consuming love". Color range for tulips are all over the spectrum, but most wedding flower bouquets are in pink, peach, red, purple, and white. These are generally not very expensive.



The Rose



Roses and garden roses are always the first thought for wedding bouquets, as it's the staple of love symbolism. There are really three choices for roses in a wedding; the hybrid tea rose or more classic rose, the spray rose where there are several small blooms on a stem, and the garden rose where they are the busy open old fashioned roses that are dreadfully expensive. There are many color choices as well as bicolor varieties to spice up the wedding bouquet. Most roses are scented, but some are not, and that needs to be took into consideration as well when its time to choose.
