Flowers for wedding: discover the best options for each type of ceremony

There are several ways to decorate a wedding ceremony and using flowers is always a good idea. They are romantic, delicate, colorful and make everything more beautiful.

Those who are planning to get married are not always experts on the subject and sometimes it seems that goodwill alone is not enough to execute every detail so that everything turns out the way you dreamed. Again, flowers are a great alternative as well as a pretty traditional choice, but which flowers to choose?

This is a difficult task and one that deserves a lot of care, after all, no one wants to arrive on the big day and be disappointed with the wedding decor, right? Everything needs to be in harmony and, above all, match the personality of the couple.

To make this mission easier, we have prepared some tips that will help you use flowers in your wedding decoration and organize a ceremony full of delicacy and charm:

What to consider when choosing flowers

When thinking about wedding decor, personal taste always prevails (and it should be!), but is that enough? We talked to the ceremonialist Maritsa Augusto, who had the help of João Bueno, owner of a flower shop, and they pointed out what to take into account when choosing the flowers for the wedding.

The time of year: In the months of May and June, most flowers are more expensive due to demand on Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. During winter, flower production is also lower, which significantly increases the price.

The location of the party and ceremony: Outdoor and daytime weddings need sturdier flowers and can have a stronger scent, such as lilies, jasmine and lavender. For indoor environments, the arrangements can be smaller and in less quantity, “in this case, less is more”, advises Maritsa.

The wedding time: For night events, more striking flowers such as roses and orchids are great options. For daytime events, smaller, delicate flowers in pastel shades are more suitable.

In addition to all these points, the personality and taste of the bride and groom should be the main factors considered. Select your favorite flowers and take the idea to the florist so that together they can come up with a project that fits your budget and satisfies your desires.

The 6 most traditional flowers for weddings

The ceremonial listed the 6 most used flowers at weddings. Check out:

1. Roses

Roses are already well known for the romanticism they convey. In addition, they are resistant flowers and have a very extensive color palette. The only caveat is the price, which is usually high.

2. Gerberas

The gerbera is a very charming flower and it also has several varieties of colors. They are easy to grow, which guarantees a more affordable price. For you who are going to get married outdoors, gerberas will make your wedding delicate and colorful.

3. Lisianthus

If you’re in love with roses but they don’t fit your budget, lisianthus is the perfect alternative. This flower is very similar to the rose and blooms all year round, which makes it cheaper without losing its delicacy and romanticism.

4. Glass of milk

The milk glass is a very sophisticated and elegant species. Milk glass arrangements are often tall and imposing. Because they are rarer and nobler, they end up being expensive.

5. Gypsophila

Popularly called “mosquitinho”, gypsophiles are usually used to give volume to arrangements. They can be used in any type of wedding and are very affordable. If you want to opt for more expensive flowers, but in small quantities, completing the arrangement with gypsophila is an interesting idea.

6. Field flowers

Field flowers are several species of flowers that grow spontaneously in the field and need little care. Together, they form colorful and mixed bouquets or arrangements, which gives a relaxed touch to weddings. As they require little care and do not need replanting, they are very cheap and easy to find.

There are many options and it is up to the bride and groom and the people who help them to choose which flowers will be ideal for the wedding. The ceremony should convey the personality of the bride and groom with flowers that affirm this.

The right flower for every time of year

The ceremonial also pointed out which flowers are most suitable for each season of the year. See in the table below which flower is best suited for your wedding date:

As with fruits, each flower has its particularity and it can be easier to find it at a certain time, which also interferes with its price and freshness.

cheap wedding flowers

Some flowers are cheaper than others because they are easier to find and also because they require less care. An interesting tip is to bet on cheaper flowers to add volume to the arrangements and place some more noble flowers as points of color.

Good choices: Gypsophila (little mosquito); Chrysanthemum; Clove.

Flowers for a wedding at night

For the night, using more colorful flowers in the wedding decor can be an interesting alternative. They work very well with the artificial light of the wedding venue.

Good choices: Tulip; Glass of milk; Pink.

rustic wedding flowers

Usually in rustic weddings, the bride and groom opt for wooden objects and less delicate ornaments. In this case, flowers in earthy tones look great.

Good choices: Sunflower; Hydrangea; Dandelion.
