When it comes to choosing flowers for a wedding bouquet, there are a few varieties that I tend to avoid. One such flower is the lilac. While lilacs have a beautiful fragrance and delicate blooms, they have a tendency to wilt easily. This can be a problem on a wedding day when the bouquet needs to stay fresh and vibrant for hours on end. For this reason, I usually steer clear of including lilacs in wedding bouquets.
Another flower that I am cautious about including in wedding bouquets is the hydrangea. Now, don’t get me wrong, hydrangeas can be absolutely stunning in a bouquet. However, they require a lot of water to stay hydrated and looking their best. If the bouquet is not constantly in water, imported hydrangeas can quickly wither and droop. This can be a major disappointment on a special day like a wedding, so I prefer to use other flowers that are more resilient and can withstand being out of water for longer periods of time.
Lastly, lilies are another flower that I tend to avoid in wedding bouquets. While lilies come in a variety of beautiful colors and shapes, most of them have pollen that can stain not only the bride’s dress, but also the hands of anyone who handles the bouquet. This can be quite a hassle on a wedding day, especially if there are light-colored dresses involved. Additionally, lilies usually have a strong fragrance that some people find overwhelming. Since a wedding day is meant to be a joyous and comfortable occasion for everyone, I prefer to choose flowers that have a milder scent.
When it comes to wedding bouquets, I tend to avoid lilacs due to their tendency to wilt easily, hydrangeas that require constant hydration, and lilies with their staining pollen and strong fragrance. By avoiding these flowers, I can ensure that the bouquet stays fresh and beautiful throughout the day, without any unnecessary complications.
