Picking Wedding Flowers That Will Last All Day
One thing many prospective brides or couples do not consider when choosing flowers for their wedding is the availability of particular flowers during the time of year they plan to get married.
Gardenias, as wedding flowers, are available all year. These richly scented wedding flowers are typically cut by the grower to have a stem less than one inch long. Florists can easily remedy this for use in your bouquets and wedding corsages with the use of wire and tape but it makes the use of gardenias impractical in some types of centerpieces. They are wonderful when floated in shallow bowls on your wedding tables.
Gardenias will brown very easily from handling contact. Handle them with care and expect corsages and bouquets made with them to show some wear and tear by the end of the wedding reception both from lack of water and from handling them.
Hydrangeas are available all year long. However, there are wide variations of price and quality for this flower. Hydrangeas are in season during the summer season. While many varieties of hydrangeas are available all year, many hydrangeas bought off-season are undersized and lower in quality for a much higher price.
Hydrangeas are very thirsty and prone to wilt easily from heat or lack of water. The white varieties of hydrangeas show bruising more than other colors do.
