Your favourite perennials for weddings?

Hydrangea's are my favorite and were in my wedding bouquet and centerpieces. My florist even made my somewhat plain cake breathtaking by adding some fresh hydrangea and roses as decoration.

This sounds lovely, Aas1277! I'm sure your wedding bouquet and the cake looked wonderful. I've always liked hydrangeas too, they're such pretty plants. My aunt used to grow them when I was a kid.

I love flowers, though I wouldn't say I specifically think of any as wedding flowers. Roses are popular, but brides with the money to do it will use orchids. Those without the budget for expensive flowers will use carnations or a fresh flower substitute such as paper, fabric, or something else entirely.

The one consideration is season, and then you just want to choose what fits your theme. A casual wedding could have daisies or sunflowers. It's all about what you like and what you want, combined with what's available in the season.

I think blue orchids are just sensational; this is a color that i think i would use at my wedding.

Those blue orchids look beautiful, Kammy!
Personally, I dream about a pink or white wedding bouquet. Daisies would be perfect:

Call me traditional, but for me Calla Lilies are my absolute favorite.

Claudine these daisies are beautiful however i have always go for deep rich colors such as dark blue or burn orange.

Galmal - in my country, Calla LIllies are considered funeral plants
Kammy - I'm just the opposite. What I like the most are very delicate colors, like pale pink and white.
