A wedding day is a celebration of an important milestone in your life, and a day that you'll want to remember forever. But how do you make sure that your special day turns out exactly how you want it? Well, one of the best ways is by choosing flowers that reflect your personality and tastes. So if you're planning on having a wedding soon (congratulations!), then check out some of these common flowers for inspiration.
Roses are one of the most popular flower choices for weddings. They're the symbol of love, passion and beauty. They also symbolise good luck because they bloom even when there's no rain or sunshine. Roses come in a large variation of colours, so finding a rose colour that you like and that match with other wedding decor should be easy.
Rose petals can also be used to decorate your bridal bouquet, scattered on the ground as you walk down the aisle or even as confetti when dried.
Peonies are perennial flowers, meaning they bloom all year round. They're also known as the most fragrant of all wedding flowers. Peonys can be white or pink, but if you're looking for a more traditional look go with white.
Peonies symbolise love and romance so they're perfect for weddings. The Greeks even believed that peonies were Aphrodite's favorite flower, so it's no surprise that they make a great choice for brides-to-be looking to add some romance to their big day.
Hydrangeas are a great choice for your wedding. They're a versatile flower that you can use in a variety of settings, and they come in so many different colors and sizes. Whether you want a rustic bouquet with blue hydrangea or something more traditional with pink hydrangea, there's always one perfect for you. You can even mix them up for an eclectic look.
Hydrangeas are also incredibly hardy and can last for weeks after your wedding. They're a great option if you have a summer or fall wedding - you won't have to worry about them wilting in the heat!
Calla lilies are a classic, and not just because they've been around since the 1890s. The classic white flower with its dark green leaves is a beautiful addition to any bouquet or centerpiece.
Because calla lilies are so popular, there are many different varieties that you can choose from. Some have more of an orange hue while others have more yellow-green tones; some have more petals than others; some even have streaks of purple.
Callas come in three sizes: standard (the most common size), medium (half the size of standard) and mini (about an inch wide).

Tulips are a common choice for bouquets and centerpieces, since they're popular in spring (when most weddings occur) but also work well with other seasons. They're durable flowers too as tulips will last up to a week after being cut if you keep them cool and out of direct sunlight.
Tulips come in different colors, so there's sure to be one that suits your wedding theme perfectly, and even if there isn't any colour you like, some species of tulip actually change colors over time.
Ranunculus, also known as buttercups (and sometimes more formally as crowfoot), is a genus of about 300 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants. They are found in temperate to tropical regions worldwide, with the highest species diversity occurring in the Mediterranean region. The name 'ranunculus' is derived from the Latin word for 'little frog'.
Ranunculus flowers make great wedding flowers because they come in so many colors and sizes. They have large blooms on tall stems that add height to your wedding bouquet or table arrangment. You can choose between single-colored ranunculuses or try mixing colors together.
Dahlias are a great choice for summer, autumn and spring weddings. They can be used in bouquets and centrepieces to add colour and texture to your wedding celebration. Dahlias also look lovely when placed in vases at the table or on a dessert table.
With their large heads of beautiful flowers, dahlias are sure to impress your guests with their vibrant colours and unique shape.
Sweet peas are a great choice for a spring wedding. They're one of the earlier bloomers, and they look beautiful in a garden setting. If the weather cooperates and your wedding is outdoors, sweet peas will really pop against the backdrop of green grass. And if you're having an indoor wedding, this flower will help brighten up any space with its vibrant colors and delicate beauty.
Lilies of the Valley are a perennial flower that grow in clusters. They're typically white, but can be found in pink and red too. Their small flowers smell sweet and can be used in bridal bouquets or to decorate your church on your wedding day.
They have a lot of symbolism associated with them. White is the color of purity and innocence, so it's often associated with weddings and brides.
These flowers will give you that perfect wedding you've always imagined. They are easy to find, can be ordered online and they look great in any arrangement. These flowers are also easy to work with, so they'll look great in any bouquet.
We hope you've found this list to be helpful, and that it's helped you discover a few new flowers to add to your bouquet. While deciding on what kind of flowers is only one part of the process, we think it's important to remember that there are no wrong choices. You can go as simple or extravagant with your wedding decor as you like, and if nothing else, at least these options will give you some inspiration for how diverse and beautiful nature can be when it comes time for picking out your own blooms (or choosing a color scheme). Happy planning!
