Purple wedding flowers

Purple wedding flowers and information about them when planning your wedding are featured below. Very first thing I suppose you need to do is decide if you'd like to make the flower arrangements yourself or have a florist do it. Make sure to give at least a 6 week period of time for ordering flowers. Depending on the size of your wedding you'll need flower bouquets for the bride, maid or matron of honor, bridesmaids, flower girls and the toss bouquet. Corsages for the Moms, Grandmothers and Aunts may want to be included as well. Now to the guys, boutonnieres for the groom, bestman, groomsmen, Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles and ring bearer. You may also want to include flowers for a Stepmother or Stepfather and Godmother or Godfather as well.

Hydrangeas tied with tulle or ribbon are great for church pew and other floral decor for your wedding.
Roses - No flower symbolizes beauty, romance and love better than the rose. They are probably the most popular of all the wedding flowers.

Available most of the year roses come in a variety of colors and types. Hybrid tea roses make a good choice for bouquets because of there bloom shape and petal durability.

Somewhat fragrant but not all roses are and they can also be pricey. Still, we don't think there is a better choice for your wedding flowers.

Multiple small fragrant blooms per stem, stock makes a great compliment to your other wedding flowers.

Something to consider is not all flowers are available all year. You may be able to get the flower you had your heart set on but may cost a small fortune to do so. Another consideration is would you like just a few flowers accented with pretty ribbon or a larger floral bouquet.
