Flowers for the Bride & the Bridesmaids
Flowers have become a large part of the wedding with the bride and her attendants carrying bouquets of flowers.

For a truly elegant and formal look, the bride's bouquet is done in flowers such as roses and lilies that come in many shades of white, from ivory, cream, or pale beige to a white with just a tint of pink. Orange Blossoms are also a popular choice.

It is common for bridesmaids to have a similar bouquet to the bride but on a smaller scale. Roses and gerberas are the two flowers that are the most popular for bridesmaids’ bouquets. Both of these flowers are available in a wide range of colors.

Flowers for the Groom & the Groomsmen
The groom's boutonniere is either a flower that matches the flowers in the bride's bouquet or is a special flower with meaning such as: a red rose (true love), a red chrysanthemum (I love you), a stephanotis (happiness in marriage), a red camellia (you are a flame in my heart), or an orange blossom (purity, eternal love, marriage). Similar flowers are used for the groomsmen boutonnieres as used for bridesmaids' bouquets.

Flower Decorations
A profusion of flowers are also used for room decorations, including the altar and the guest tables. Traditional floral pedestals contain lilies, gerberas and anthuriums. A classic low table centerpiece usually consists of a posy arrangement of flowers that co-ordinate with the bride's bouquet such as roses and tulips.

Beyond the most established uses for wedding flowers, a large variety of flowers are being used to enhance the special day in many non-traditional ways. For example:
? Welcome gifts for out-of-town guests and members of the bridal parties,
? Thank you gifts for those people who make the bride and groom's day special,
? Decorations for the wedding transportation,
? Floating arrangements for ponds or pools, and
? Accessories for the bride's hair, in some cases replacing the more traditional veil.

Flowers are one of the most important elements of your wedding day. They set the mood and tone for the event that is remembered for years to come.
