Yes,that’s right! Carnations can be the perfect flowers for your wedding. They are cost effective,very fun to work with,have very reach texture,are available year round and you can get carnations in almost any colour you can imagine. Sounds great? And here is proof!
1. Bridal Bouquet:I used burgundy and white carnations with the burgundy tips as a base for the bouquet. Red Gerbera,green Cymbidium Orchids,green Hypericum and “Date Palms” balls from my garden added an absolutely exquisite look for the bouquet.
Here are a few more pictures of the Bridal bouquets where I used carnations:
