8. Sweet Peas

Sweet peas bring a whimsical touch to bridal bouquets and are delightful in table arrangements, especially when paired with eucalyptus. Their vines can be artistically draped over arches or around entryways, creating a fairytale-like feel. Pair them with hydrangeas or ranunculus to fill out a bouquet or centerpiece to give it a lush look. 

9. Anemone Flower

Anemones make dramatic statements when used in bouquets or as table centerpieces. Their distinct coloring and bold centers draw the eye, making them excellent choices for feature arrangements on guest book tables or in the ceremony backdrop. Pair your anemones with tulips and poppies, and for a more rustic feel, consider adding dusty miller.   

10. Calla Lilies

Graceful and elegant, calla lilies are perfect for any wedding. Their long, slender shape and smooth texture make them particularly suitable for sophisticated arrangements. Whether used in bouquets or as aisle markers, calla lilies add a refined touch to both traditional and beach weddings.

Known as 'the wedding flower,' stephanotis is particularly popular for bridal bouquets and wedding hair accessories. Its small size and star shape make it suitable for delicate decorations, like adorning a wedding cake or being threaded through napkin rings for a sophisticated dinner setting. Stephanotis pairs well with roses, peonies, and other lush greenery.
