The most common flowers for weddings are orchids, bright colored lilies, roses, gerberas, stargazers, Alcatraces, birds of paradise, sun flowers, tulips, etc. Please send pictures of your choices since the names of the flowers are not the same in Spanish
Think about your bouquet, bride’s maids bouquet’s, buttoneers, table arrangements, altar arrangements, petals for the aisle and flowers for the hairdo and cake. We suggest to choose a table flower arrangement that includes a candle so you would have more lighting and it will give a romantic touch to the night.
