Wedding season has arrived! Have you made your final choices for flowers? If not, we would suggest going without! Check out this awesome centrepiece with only greenery, fillers and succulents, totally different than the usual design.

Is there a more perfectly named flower for a wedding than "blushing bride"? They have a blush coloured centre with pointed petals that range in color from white and ivory to cream with tinges of pale pink. They are a summer flower, available now to insert into your bouquet or arrangements.

Bouquets tend to steal the spotlight but boutonnieres shouldn't be overlooked! Here's some of our past favorites.

Floral centrepieces can be designed simply and still have a big impact. Here are a few of our favourites for inspiration.

Do you have a favorite flower? We have many, so we thought we'd share. Garden roses, while pricey, have the most amazing smell and the texture of them is unlike many other flowers. For some garden rose bouquet ideas, check out; http://www.brides.com//garden-roses-wedding-flower-bouquet

Considering stepping outside the box for your wedding flowers? How about a bouquet made predominantly of greens? While flowers are still integrated into bouquets, the main focus has shifted to greenery; eucalyptus, ferns, leaves, and herbs. Not only are the bouquets beautiful, they are less fragile, and complement just about every wedding detail.

Spring has sprung, well almost! Spring weddings usually bring to mind tulips and daffodils but there are other seasonal flowers you can incorporate if you are gettting married in the next 2 months or so; Ranunculus, Alstromeria, Snap dragon, Lisianthus and Cornflowers are just a few examples.
