This one is a no-brainer. We all know what a rose is! What you may not know is that there are more varieties of roses than you can shake a bouquet at.  The larger, fluffier, and more multi-petaled kinds—like garden roses—make perfect face flowers (meaning, the showstoppers of a bouquet or centerpiece) and are

ideal for when you don't want to use a peony. Smaller ones—like spray roses—add a delicate accent to bouquets and centerpieces. While most roses are in peak bloom from spring to fall, many are cultivated in greenhouses and available all year round.

Hands down, this is the most highly coveted of all wedding flowers. Everyone loves 'em, everyone wants 'em, but sadly, they're one of the most expensive flowers.  So if you have to have peonies, but you don't have a big budget, maybe just use them in your bouquet and at the head table (if you're having one). These

Usually black and white, these graphic flowers are perfect for the modern bride. The beauty of anemones is that they're amenable to working alone in a mono-fleur arrangement or mixed in with other flowers as more of an accent. But beware!  These beauties tend to be on the more delicate side, so if you're getting married out in the heat, make sure

One of our all-time fave blooms, dahlias are great face flowers because they have such a grand presence (dinner plate dahlias can be as large as your head) without packing the punch price-wise of a peony.  Plus, they come in so many beautiful colors and a wide array of sizes so there's a variety out there for every

One of the sweetest smelling blooms, lilacs are drapey and romantic and can also work well on their own in a simple bouquet.  Coming in shades of purple and white, lilacs are also quite delicate, so you have to be very careful to prevent wilting. Once it starts to go, there's pretty much no reviving it. Springtime weddings are optimal for t

You've probably seen these little guys in 75 percent of the arrangements you have pinned on your flower Pinterest board.  They are usually used as accents and not as the stars of the show. Ruffly petals with wiggly stems, these are great for adding a little movement and wildness to your bouquet or centerpiece. They come in

There's nothing not sweet about sweet peas. Everything from their scent to their dainty stems and almost translucent petals is oh-so sweet.  They often come in variegated colors, which somehow adds to their ethereal look and softness. We love the idea of a simple, small bouquet of sweet peas held together

Mainly seen in classic blue or white, we're really digging the sophisticated, chic older sister of the aforementioned classics—hydrangeas that are dusty and multi-colored, known as antique hydrangeas.  Not only are they hardier (the diva-ish blue and white variety will die the moment they are even the slightest bit uncomfortable), but

they're also just so much more interesting. Take it from us. Plus, their blooming season aligns perfectly with the prime wedding months, flourishing from May through early fall.

Like many of the other flowers we've listed, tulips are so much more than the generic variety you're probably picturing in your head.  There are fringed tulips (that look just like they sound), double tulips (with twice as many petals than a normal tulip, making them much fuller), Rembrandt tulips (with beautiful red

streaks running down their petals), and more. All varieties bloom from December to April. Plus, they aren't budget busters, which is always a pro.

Although beautiful as house plants, orchids have long been synonymous with a kind of tackiness when used too aggressively as wedding flowers—à la so many early aughts wedding mistakes.  Recently, however, there's been a resurgence of using orchids in much more interesting ways—especially in gorgeous sherbet and pastel shades

Speaking of statement simplicity, calla lilies are as luxe and dramatic as they are minimal. Think of them as the floral iteration of a chic art installation floating in the middle of a grande but empty space.  These poignant blooms look incredible in mono-flower bouquets, but their long stems also lend themselves to a lot of
