7 Different Garden Roses that are sure to make a Beautiful Wedding

The wedding season will be here before you know it. One the most important decisions is to decide what kind of flowers will work best for  your wedding. I would like to help you make this decision by giving you my personal list of Garden Roses, which are my favorite wedding flowers. You may ask why Garden Roses? First of all, they are in a league of their own when compared with average roses. They have become one of the largest choice because of their blooms for weddings thanks to their lush, ruffled petals that rest graciously in the center of a very neatly wound swirling pattern — they are very similar to peonies, only without the expensive price!

Although they are available year round, they are hitting their peak right now and are a true delight for a summertime wedding. I have been searching through hundreds of wedding flowers. After narrowing them down to garden flowers, I then began to come up with my top 7 list and believe I have chosen the most charming wedding flowers available right now:

White Ohara is my first choice. This flower is a creamy white, peony-like rose. It looks amazing whenever the bride is adorned in a creamy white dress. This one looks amazing and leave me breathless! Every time I go to a wedding and see this particular variety, I have to ask them where they got them. They come from Colombia and look alive and fresh.

Campanella Cream Like White Ohara,  have a soft, creamy-white appearance, but the layers look a bit fuller. Actually, White Ohara and Campanella Cream look wonderful together.

Green Hanna made my list because green is one of my favorite colors. If you are a green-eyed bride, or you have an outdoor wedding with lots of greens, then this will be an excellent choice. These flowers are light green and have about 3-5 blooms per stem, giving plenty of green for your special occasion.

David Austin Patience is very beautiful! I couldn’t have a top 7 list without including it. It is an English-looking cream garden rose with a classic button eye. What I enjoy about this particular cream variety is the way their centers stand out and make an excellent contrast with any wedding dress.

Antique Carmel is my fifth selection due to its caramel, butterscotch color. This premium, fresh cut beauty is kind of gives a soft, antique feel to any wedding. The fragrance is also very alluring. I highly recommend this one.

Salmanazzar Pink Peach Peony has a pink tone that reminds me of a lovely fairy-tail, where the prince takes his bride and lives happily ever after. You have to see this one to believe it. The huge head has a cabbage-like appearance sure to leave you breathless.

Cream-Orange Brulee Last but not least, this variety has a orange tint that is very earth-tone. This eco-friendly stunner has a wavy pattern in its full head. This summer wedding flower is a definite statement maker.

No matter which flower you choose, if you are looking for a professional opinion, I would suggest these top 7 Garden Roses.  Whenever you feel it is time to begin selecting flowers, the good people at Whole Blossoms would love to help you create the perfect wedding.

Finding the Right Tulips – Top 7 Favorites

Still searching for the perfect wedding flowers? Have you considered going with Tulips? Traditionally, tulips were popular, particularly in most of Europe and Holland. During the 17th century people were going crazy for them, popularly known as the Tulipomania.

Tulips are very popular in the springtime, and the third most popular flower next to the rose and chrysanthemum. If you are considering tulips it is good to be reminded of their incredible variety of colors, heights, and shapes. You also may want to consider their fresh fragrance, cheering up any celebration or festive occasion.

 

 As usual, I took some time to study the most popular kinds of tulips and I came up with my Top 7 list of favorite tulips for weddings. Please browse through these most popular choices and see if you can find the right tulips for you.

1.            White Tulips – White is a symbol of purity, humility. I chose this tulip first because it seems to convey the traditional image of any marriage. When this variety is displayed, there seems to be an aura of honor resounding from wall to wall, from floor to ceiling. Enjoy the rich spender of their white beauty.

2.            RedTulips - Red is a universal symbol of love and romance. If you decide to go with red alone, or combine with the purity of white, nothing but love it what is felt from this variety. Whenever I picture a bride and groom holding hands at the altar, I picture red flowers in the background.

3.            Purple Tulips – Purple has always been a symbol of royalty. During biblical times, every king or someone of great wealth was adorned in purple. It was one of the most profitable colors of fabric sold in New Testament times.  As a wedding flower, I can imagine a royal princess surrounded by the love of her charming prince. You could even mix, red, white, and purple tulips.

4.            Pink Tulips – Pink is also a color of love, but it is a bit quieter and says, I will never forget you.” Pink, red, white, and purple blend naturally together, but pink says it without words. Besides red, pink is a universal color of love and will fill any wedding attendance with love.

5.            Yellow Tulips - Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. This variety of tulip will bring to life any wedding. Tulips are a spring flower and seem to portray the marriage of a young couple in the springtime of their lives. Yellow and orange make a nice compliment to each other.

6.            Orange Tulips – Orange combines the happiness of yellow and the romance of red, displaying natural sunshine to all who partake of their beauty. Orange will make your wedding and reception feel warm, loved, and inviting.

7.            Assorted Tulips – Technically, assorted is not a color, but after studying the different colors of tulips, you may want to display some of each.

Tulips are rather affordable, around $1.50 a stem. If you want to go a little fancier, French Tulips are a bit more but have longer stems and larger heads. Flowers are an amazing gift from nature to represent the love you want to honor. Once again, I hope this list is helpful. Please look at our website and choose from over hundreds of varieties of flowers. Good luck on your wedding or next planned event!
