WHITE BOUQUETS
The simplicity of a white bouquet is timeless…Many flowers come in different shades of white and go with every color scheme. Choosing white bouquets may be simple yet their beauty lasts well into the future. Make sure that your chosen flowers are available during the season that you are getting married. Destination weddings also tend to be a bit more expensive to get specific flowers shipped in. White bouquets made up of roses, orchids, peonies, baby’s breath & magnolias are good selections that won’t break the bank and are also easily available.

White Bouquets – Lily of the Valley
This is one of our all time favorite white bouquets. Believe it or not, it is also one of the most expensive. Reason being is because these fragile little bells are not only poisonous they are extremely delicate. Therefore you have to order twice as many flowers in order to assure perfection and special care has to be taken when making the bouquet. Lily of the Valley is a not usually available in the fall. This sweet scented May flower is the national flower of Finland and represents purity of heart, loves good fortune, sweetness, and you’ve made my life complete.

White Cattleya Orchids originated in Brazil and grow beautifully in Costa Rica. These large showy flowers come in all colors except true blue and black. The picture above shows one of over a hundred species of Cattleya Orchids (also known as the butterfly orchid, swan orchid, or the Holly Spirit Orchid). The Cattleya Orchid represents Beauty, Strength, Luxury and Love.

WHITE ROSE BOUQUETS
One tradition states that until modern times, brides carried garlic & dill down the aisle when they were getting married. This was to ward off evil and disease brought about by the Plague and it eventually shifted into florals. Other people believe the tradition of a bride carrying flowers down the isle started in the 1800s when people only bathed annually. The couple would bath one month before their wedding and then the bride would carry a bouquet of fragrant flowers to mask any lingering odors. Thank goodness roses smell so lovely! The white rose is a national symbol of England and represents innocence, purity, secrecy, I am worthy of you, truth, virtue, and happy love.

Ranunculus flowers come in over 600 species and make stunning white bouquets so make sure you do some research before placing your order.
