| Winter Wedding
Bouquets |
June July and
August
Winter, especially late winter, actually brings us many
of the flowers we associate with spring, bunches and
bunches of fragrant ‘Earlicheer’ Daffodils, gorgeous
‘paper white’ Jonquils, Dutch Iris, Hyacinths and
Freesias.
*Double and single Tulips, Parrot Tulips.
* Helleborus flowers, also known as the ‘winter rose’ it
looks like a white or burgundy primrose and in its green
form creates the ‘country bunch’ look.
*Cymbidium orchids, how lucky are we that we have
special orchids that flower all winter long and yet are
so beautiful ands last incredibly well, colour range is
white, palest to dark pink, red, lime to yellow green,
yellow, gold, burgundy and all the in between colours,
in their mini or large forms are just sensational!.
* Violets ( Viola species) As the name suggests these
sweet violets are rich purple blue in colour and have a
perfume unlike any other flower !!,so sweet and
tantalizing they bottle it!! Naturally with short stems
they are traditionally carried in tight posies
surrounded by their own leaves, this is a beautiful
choice for flower girls and junior bridesmaids.
* French Lavender, ( Lavandula dentate) also
traditionally carried in tight posies or mixed with
other small flowers to create a country style bunch.
* Stock, not usually used in wedding bouquets unless
individually wired florets, most often massed together
for the church and reception bowls to tantalize the
senses and set the theme, in white, cream, pink mauve
and purple.
* Geraldton Wax, the new hybrids of these west
Australian flowers are so lush and delicate on their own
or in mixed bouquets.
* Kale, these are not really flowers, they are really
ornamental cabbages but if you like a modern style try
with mini cumquats and tiny apples which are sometimes
available.
