Many flowers are available in multiple hues, so choose flowers that match or complement your wedding colors or theme. You may want to choose wild flowers, like sunflowers or daisies, if your wedding will be a casual affair, or exotic flowers, like orchids or hibiscus, if your wedding will be a formal event. Look at wedding and floral magazines as well as websites like Pinterest to get ideas about the size and type of bouquet you like best. Choosing seasonal flowers for your bouquet will save you money because they are more readily available than exotic varieties. Check your local supermarket to see what beautiful blooms they have in stock. You can also order your flowers online, if you want.  Spring and summer flowers include cherry blossoms, orchids, peonies, chrysanthemum, dahlia, and gardenias.  Autumn and winter flowers include Gerbera daisies, roses, sunflowers, alstroemeria, lilies, pansies, and carnations. You’ll need flowers with sturdy, long stems, such as roses, irises, carnations, alstroemeria, peonies, tulips, and freesia. Other great choices include calla lilies, Singapore orchids, ranunculus, sweet peas, gardenias, and lisianthus. A mixed bouquet looks best when there are three or four varieties of flowers plus foliage. Adding greenery to your bouquet gives it a well-rounded, natural look. Select one kind of foliage, or pick a few to give your bouquet more variety. Suitable foliage includes camellia leaves, eucalyptus gum, box, ivy, nandina, and leather fern. You can also use Queen Anne’s Lace, cress, wheat, scented geraniums, Bells of Ireland, flax, and basil.
