There are lots of different types of wedding flowers it can be really hard to choose the best flowers for you and your day. Some people have flower traditions that they believe very strongly in, however if you are not bothered it can seem a little overwhelming! Whether it is fresh flowers or artificial flowers, at the end of the day, choose the flowers you like and you think look pretty!

Couples who have winter weddings are always worried that there will be few flowers available for their wedding but this is not the case. There are both seasonal and non seasonal flowers available during the winter months. If you want seasonal flowers there are Amaryllis, Anemones and Bells of Ireland. There are also tropical flowers available such as the red Anthuriums and Cymbidum orchids. If you want a summery feel to your wedding there are Gerberas and Roses from countries such as Kenya.

Spring is when flowers naturally burst into life and the most seasonal flowers are flowering bulbs such as Tulips and Hyacinths. There a lots of different options available during the spring from all the over the world, but if you want to be truly seasonal the best choice is Peonies, Daffodils, Lily of the Valley and Forsythia.

With the summer comes a large variety and choice of flowers but the most popular and seasonal are Delphiniums, Gladioli and Columbines. Roses are a very fashionable choice at the moment and give a really summery atmosphere. If you want to be more alternative why not consider Snap dragons or Love in a mist?

If you are having a autumnal wedding, have you thought about having a theme which echoes the colours around during the autumn? Your best option is Hydrangeas, Dahlias, Chrysanthemums and Red Hot Pokers. You could also include seasonal fruit such as crab apples or Physalis.

Roses are red, violets are blue, find wedding flowers perfect for you...
