LOVE IN BLOOM
Hydrangea - meaning appreciation and heartfelt emotion towards your significant other , this flower is ideal for large centrepieces and bouquets due its impactful fullness , but can be broken down into florets to be added in all arrangements . Most popular in white for weddings but also available in various colours including pink , green and deep purple .
Olive branches - symbolising peace , this foliage is especially popular for christian couples . Used a lot in foliage garlands , it ’ s also good for table decorations , cake flowers and can be broken down for buttonholes .
Succulents - one of the biggest trends in wedding flowers due to their hardy nature , they are said to symbolise timeless love . Succulents are adaptable enough to be used in any element of your wedding flowers - even miniature succulents , which are perfect for buttonholes .
Dahlias - representing a lifelong commitment or bond , as well as a new beginning , Dahlias are a lovely flower to symbolise couples starting their future together . A popular garden flower for natural and rustic weddings , they ’ re available from June to October .
Tulips - broadly meaning love and passion , but much like roses , each colour has its own symbolic meaning ; red being a declaration of love and yellow symbolising sunshine . Due to their short and soft stems , Tulips are best in low arrangements and hand-tied posies .
Sweet Peas - standing for the blissful pleasures in life , Sweet Peas are a firm wedding favourite , either for their delicate nature or their sweet and nostalgic fragrance . Much like Tulips , their short stems make them best suited to rustic jam jars and small hand-tied bouquets . However , Sweet Peas are another flower with limited availability - if you are looking to have them make sure you set your date between February and June .
