Ask a Question
What is WBC's brides favorite flower?

Ok ladies, I am very curious to see which one takes the crown ... what ONE flower is your ABSOLUTE favorite that has to be in your bouquet and why?

I would definitely have to say peonies are mine, however I did not get to have them in my bouquet as they are only in season for a short period of time where I'm from. I'd have to say a close running is very open roses such as cabbage roses or sahara roses which were in my bouquet.

So what is yours?

Cymbidium orchids, especially white with the dark maroon spotted tongues.

I didn't love them until a florist brought me a stem of them from a bridal show at the hotel where I worked. They're so beautiful, smooth looking and exotic!

I'm surprised no one's mentioned lilies... So I will.

Specifically Stargazer Lilies, which I recently found out are my gramma's favorite flowers as well. :)

Of course all the choices are lovely.

I can't pick a favourite.  I had hot pink roses in my bouquet and hot pink gerbers around the fireplace at the reception.  I really wanted green cymbidium orchids, but FH wouldn't let me, and they were too expensive.

That's tough! I like so many flowers! I think my favorite would have to be peonies though, followed by anemones and cymbidium orchids. I'm using peonies and cymbidiums in my bouquet.

Candy Bianca Roses. I was searching online for hours trying to find the exact light shade of pink rose and I fell in love. The problem is... not many growers supply this variety anymore! I can find them myself on fiftyflower.com, but I'm not sure if it's worth it since I can get a similar variety such as Sweet Anna, for much less. anyway... here's a pic that I LOVE with candy bianca roses.
