Do you have absolutely no idea about botany? There's nothing wrong with this. When it comes to searching wedding flowers, the search can get a little overwhelming. We have prepared for you a selection of the most popular wedding flowers, from the modest chamomile to the glamorous and pretentious rose.
Rose
The rose symbolizes love and undoubtedly the rose is the most popular wedding flower. Firstly, there is a huge color palette of roses to choose from in any store, and secondly, they combine perfectly with almost all colors, this helps to create rich and stylish compositions. Roses are also one of the most durable flowers, and therefore they are used in wedding bouquets and boutonnieres.
Hydrangea
Hydrangea is not a tiny flower; hydrangea stems can easily fill any wedding bouquet or arrangement. Florists often use hydrangeas because they add texture and dimension to their designs. Hydrangea is very flexible. Hydrangea can be made tall and expensive, or short and in a glass jar on a wooden table, and it will look just great anywhere. And most importantly, hydrangea causes virtually no problems for allergy sufferers.
Orchid
Orchids symbolize charm and beauty. These delicate flowers are available in several variations, in green, white and purple. Orchids will serve as an excellent decoration for your wedding.
Peony
Peony symbolizes happiness; there is no more suitable flower for a wedding than peony. Full, soft and fluffy peony petals have become a new trend in wedding decoration. For weddings with a light or pale palette, peonies are an ideal option because they match the tone and texture perfectly. They are also suitable for those who prefer fragrant flowers, since peony has a very tasty smell.
Anemone
When it comes to modern weddings, perhaps no other flower copes with its task as well as the anemone. These flowers have a dark center and softly colored petals. The most popular for weddings are white and blush anemones. Their unique shape gives them a whimsical yet striking quality.
Carnation
Carnation is one of those flowers in which there is neither love nor hate. They are very affordable and that is why they are used in staggering quantities. Due to their durable nature, these flowers are often used to create floral decorations such as flower balls. Carnations have a ruffled texture that adds beautiful texture to vintage wedding arrangements along with roses. In fact, if you love the monochromatic look but can't afford an all-rose arrangement, for a budget-friendly option, replacing a few roses with carnations is a very smart option.
Chamomile
Available in a variety of varieties, chamomile is primarily a summer, wedding flower. Nothing creates such a bright and light atmosphere at your rustic wedding than daisies. The chamomile has been used as a wedding flower for many centuries because of its innocence and purity. Whether you prefer a rainbow of Gerberas or traditional white daisies, they are above all very inexpensive and beautiful flowers.
Asian Buttercup (Ranunculus)
Ranunculus is often confused with roses and peonies, but along with them it is a magnificent, romantic flower, perfect for a wedding. They are not as popular as roses and carnations, so ask your florist if they have them (as Ranunculus flowering season is from late spring to mid-summer). Although buttercups are most often used in pale shades, they are also available in bolder colors such as red or orange. Buttercup goes well with other flowers because of its unusual flowering.
Gypsophila (rocked)
Previously, it was believed that gypsophila served only as a filling for a bouquet, but now the arrangement has changed greatly, and more and more often you can see gypsophila in wedding decorations or even in a wedding bouquet. And it’s clear why, it’s a really beautiful and very tiny flower. Secondly, gypsophila is very friendly to the wedding budget, for example, a large, lush wedding filled to the brim with these flowers will be quite inexpensive.
Succulents
Succulents are a desert plant that is just beginning to take its first steps in modern wedding floristry, but we are convinced that it has a great future. Succulents add amazing texture and are extremely durable. Succulents don't require much sun or water. and that is why they can stand for years.

Collecting a bouquet of flowers is not at all difficult, but for this you need to use plants that will stand for a long time when cut. You don’t want a luxurious arrangement in a beautiful vase to wither the very next day.
It is always a pity to cut flowers that grow in flower beds near the porch. This can disrupt the overall harmony in the flowerbed, after which its decorativeness will sharply decrease. But flowers for bouquets can also be grown separately from the main flower garden. So you will have beautiful flower arrangements both in a vase on the windowsill and in a flowerbed under the window.
How to organize a nursery for cut flowers?
To plant flowers suitable for cutting, you should find a corner in the area that is well lit by the sun. It is advisable that it be located somewhere in the background of the garden area, since this flower garden will not serve decorative functions. You will cut most plants before they reach the peak of their beauty.
On average, a flower nursery measuring 5x8 m can provide enough flowers for bouquets to last for the entire season. The plot should be divided into two parts, arranging a long path between them, and flower beds on both sides. They should be of such a size that they can be easily processed. Shrubs can be given a separate corner.
If there is not enough space on the site to allocate an area for a flower nursery, you can do it differently: plant flowers along the paths or between the vegetable beds. Such combined plantings look very good. And some flowering plants also repel pests from vegetables.
When and how to cut flowers?
- The best time to cut flowers for a bouquet is when their buds have just begun to bloom or have not yet fully opened.
- It is best to cut plants in the early morning: at this time they are filled with moisture and enough energy to meet a new day.
- You should not cut flowers in rainy weather.
- Summer plants can be cut off at the root, since these are plants of one season and they will not develop further.
- Perennials should be cut carefully, leaving part of the shoot with leaves intact. The remaining leaves will continue to accumulate nutrients for the formation of new buds next season.
- The cut must be made with a sharp knife at an angle.
- After cutting, the flowers should immediately be placed in a vase with water and placed in a cool place (about 5°C) without drafts for several hours.
Best plants for cutting
If you like to make bouquets of your own flowers, we suggest you plant plants that will last a long time in a vase, delighting with their beauty, freshness, and sometimes aroma. These plants are no different from the same flowers in the flowerbed, except that they will last longer in the vase than others. At the same time, they do not need drugs that prolong life. All you need is water and flowers from the nursery bed. We’ll tell you what plants these are now.
Asters should be put at the top of our list - these flowers can last up to 2 weeks in a vase. Growing them is not difficult, and just a couple of double flowers can transform and brighten even the most dull room. It is better to cut plants in the state of half-opened buds. Before placing in a vase, asters' stems should be trimmed under water.
This plant will last 5-10 days in a vase without any problems. Not record time, of course, but the gorgeous appearance of the zinnia definitely gives it a few bonus points. Its flowers are very beautiful: bright and varied. They are cut off when they have almost completely blossomed, the ends of the stems are trimmed in hot water. A slightly wilted bouquet of zinnias can be restored to freshness by renewing the cuts and placing it in hot water.
It is impossible to imagine spring bouquets without tulips. They are good both on their own and in combination with other colors. A bouquet of tulips can last up to 7 days, especially if you “hold” the closed bud with a rubber band. You need to cut tulips before their buds begin to open, then they will last longer when cut.
This plant is very original, but it is better to use it not in independent bouquets, but in mixed ones. It can stand in a vase for up to 10-14 days. The best time to cut celosia is when only a quarter of the plant's buds have bloomed. After cutting, the ends of the stems should be dipped in hot water or even boiling water to stop the juice from flowing out. Interestingly, celosia retains its decorative properties even when dried.
The plant stays in a vase for up to 2 weeks. The peduncle should be cut in the half-opened bud phase in the morning or evening under the sixth node. The delicate flowers of the Chabot carnation will look great as an addition to any floral arrangement.
Roses in a bouquet are a real classic. But it’s worth recalling right away that there are a great many types and varieties of roses, and not all of them are suitable for cutting. For example, bush and climbing roses do not stand well in a vase. In addition, roses for cutting need to be planted according to a special pattern: the width of the ridge is 60 cm, the distance between the rows is 30 cm. The buds are cut off at the initial stage of blooming.
This plant with tall stems and small flowers is cut when about 5 buds bloom on it. If it is difficult to keep track of this, you can focus on the condition of the lower flowers: they should not be wilted. This snapdragon can last in a vase for 2 weeks. As the flowers fade, they need to be removed, then the plant will not lose its decorative effect for quite a long time.
Chrysanthemums can also last up to 2 weeks. A few large white or yellow flowers - and you have a great bouquet ready. If chrysanthemums seem too modest to you, you can make a bouquet of different varieties, or you can add Chabot carnations or snapdragons to them. Chrysanthemums are cut at the very beginning of flowering, when their inflorescences have almost fully blossomed.
