First let's start with the most
traditional. There are certain things that just say wedding, such as a
white gown, pearl bridal jewelry, and a bouquet of roses. For brides who
love all the old-fashioned traditions of weddings, roses are the
perfect flower to carry. Best of all, roses can be found in any shade of
pink that you can imagine, from the palest blush to the hottest pink.
The most classic bouquet of all would be a round nosegay of pink roses
accented with white stephanotis. The little star shaped stephanotis
blossoms are usually have a pearl pin inserted into the center of each
one, which makes them a great complement to your pearl bridal jewelry.

How
about the most cheerful pink wedding flowers? That award would have to
go to the brightest pink flowers of them all, gerbera daisies. Play up
the fun spirit of these flowers by using them in offbeat ways. One bride
that I knew "planted" several gerbera daisies into a pot of wheatgrass
as her centerpieces. Another really different thing that you can do with
the gerbera daisies is to suspend them in a series of vertical rows as a
decoration behind the altar for your ceremony (this looks fantastic for
an outdoor wedding).

If your taste runs to the nostalgic and
sweet, consider carrying a wedding bouquet of rare and dainty
lily-of-the-valley. A small bouquet of these late spring beauties would
make a lovely little posey for a petite bride. A pretty treatment would
be to tie a vintage silk ribbon around the stems of the
lily-of-the-valley to make a sweet little hand-tied bouquet to carry
down the aisle.
Does your taste run towards something a bit more
dramatic? Then consider using big, showy pink Stargazer and day lilies
in your floral arrangements. A word of caution about lilies: make sure
that your florist removes the orange pollen from the center of each
flower, as it stains terribly. You would also do well to use the day
lilies, perhaps in combination with some fabulous white Asiatic lilies,
for the centerpieces, and reserve the highly scented Stargazer lilies
for arrangements that will not be placed near the food.

Romantic
brides will love nothing more than a beautiful bouquet of pink tulips.
If you prefer simplicity, a bouquet of pale pink Dutch tulips tied into a
round nosegay is perfect. Brides who like more exuberant flowers will
adore combining a variety of tulips in different textures and shades of
pink into one fabulous bouquet. Tulips are ideal for using in elegant
centerpieces, as well.
There is one type of pink wedding flower
that is easily be used in arrangements ranging from the most grand to
the most casual, and that is the hydrangea. Often seen tipped with a
hint of green, pink hydrangeas look stunning overflowing from a tall urn
at a very formal wedding. What makes hydrangeas so versatile is that
they are equally at home tossed into galvanized pails to make completely
relaxed centerpieces for an outdoor wedding. Not to mention, they are
very pretty!
Whatever your style, if you love pink, there will be a
perfect flower for you. Once you have determined the style of your
wedding, this guide can help you to find the blooms that will help to
make your dream wedding come to life.
