What Flowers Are Included in a Native Bouquet?
Weddings are incomplete without flowers, especially if you’re planning to get married in the countryside. Several Australian native flowers can make your wedding beautiful and memorable.
When selecting flowers, you must consider the climate, colour palette, and vision. Your favourite flowers may not be able to stand the Australian heat and may look withered by the time the wedding rituals are over.
Choose wedding flowers that have fresh bloom and can stay fresh for as long as possible. Today, we will talk about aesthetic flowers so that you can select the one that’s resonating with your wedding theme.
Flannel Flower
Native to the bushland around Sydney, flannel flowers have a simple and elegant look when added to bouquets. They have a soft velvety texture and can be styled to give a country vibe and native wild bouquets. As they are white in colour, you can create a nice contrast to the dark shade of flowers and leaves.
If you’re planning a spring wedding, make sure to include flannel flowers as they are appropriate to the season and your wedding theme.
Waratahs
They are found abundantly in Western Australia in a range of colours like red, pink, and soft greeny whites. Having a wild appearance, these flowers make spectacular statement pieces in bouquets. If you want to have large flower installations in your wedding and flower bouquets, then waratahs are the best choice.
Not only are they stunning but they are also hard bearing which means they are perfect for native summer weddings. Pick Waratahs if you want a wild flower theme for your wedding.
Geraldton Wax
Also a Western Australian flower, Geraldton wax is the toughest flower and can withstand extreme temperatures, heavy winds, and the curious fingers of guests. These flowers are available in pink, white, yellow, and purple and look perfect in a bouquet when combined with other flowers and leaves.
Everlasting Daisy
Daisies are not favourable to you but also to bees. These unique Australian wildflowers are available in all attractive colours, perfect for beautifying your wedding.
Like Geraldton wax flowers, daisies are quite sturdy in any condition. They are one of the perfect flowers to include in a native country wedding. Not only in flower bouquets, but you can also arrange daisies on tables and crowns. Their detailed petal structure offers detail and looks spectacular in your wedding pictures.
Pincushions
Pincushions appear round and large and would highlight your bouquet when placed in the middle along with leaves and small flowers. Their beautiful orange shade would look perfect and their wildness can be a unique theme for your wedding. They add a wow factor and would complement your wedding without overwhelming the occasion with their design and wild appearance. You can tame the wild appearance of pincushions if you combine them with roses.
Banksias
Banksias are flower species that appear in various colours, ranges, and forms. Popular in red, orange, and amber, these native Australian flowers are perfect for a flower bouquet to create interesting patterns and combinations. Banksias are the perfect wedding flowers to pair with muted tones and bold and bright floral shades. You can create an interesting bouquet suitable for your native wedding.
Billy Buttons
Do you like pom-poms and their funny structure? Then think of them as a natural form and you get billy buttons. They appear like a small sphere to the end of a long stick which makes them perfect for a bouquet arrangement. Because of the small size and closely knit petals, they are quite sturdy and can withstand any condition. They are best combined with other bold and large flowers and also work superbly as buttonholes.
Weddings are memorable and should bring a smile to your face whenever you think of your bid day. To create the perfect mood and theme, wedding flowers play a vital role and make your wedding more traditional and cultural. For your native wedding, select any of the above flowers to create an appropriate theme and to provide practicality.
