Baskets are some of the oldest forms of containers created
by hand. Examples from the ancient Greeks, Romans,
and Egyptians help us understand how those civilizations
went about their everyday tasks. Baskets were shaped
for various purposes—a basket with gentle curves to hold
eggs, a tightly woven basket to hold grain, a basket with
a handle to make it easy to carry crops in from the field and
finally a basket of flowers that can catch a women’s heart.

BRIDAL FLOWER

Picture yourself walking through a glorious
garden with every flower at its peak. Which
flowers would you pick for your wedding? The
commonplace? The colorful? The rarest?
Most fragrant? Unscented? Having trouble deciding
from the thousands of varieties available? To help
you narrow down your bouquet and centerpiece
choices before you meet with your florist, we offer this
overview of the top 4 most popular wedding flowers.

1. Rose
Three main types are likely candidates for your
wedding flowers: hybrid tea roses (the classic,
uniformly-shaped commercial roses generally seen
at your local florist), spray roses (a rose with five
to ten small heads on each stem and a “natural,
garden-grown” look), and garden roses (expensive,
old-fashioned varieties with bushy, open heads and
delicious scents).

The sweet pea, which signifies “lasting pleasure,” its
candy-like scent and ruffled blossoms make this an
old-fashioned favorite in bouquets for the bride and
her bridesmaids. The sweet pea’s many colors range
from white to intense pinks and purples, and its scent
can be strong and sweet.

3. Peony
The flower acquired the meaning “bashfulness.” The
peony is available in two main types, the herbaceous
and the tree peony. A bouquet made solely of peonies
can be gorgeous; the flower can also be used to
create beautiful centerpieces and arrangements.

4. Stephanotis
A bouquet of stephanotis blossoms is one of the
most traditional a bride can carry, and a stephanotis
boutonniere is a classic choice for a formal wedding.
