  Flowers form the focal point of any wedding, whether you choose to arrange them as a centerpiece at each table or in the form of a bouquet for the bride. Flowers for this auspicious occasion require careful selection because they have to last throughout the ceremony without wilting. Select them to complement the theme of the wedding or the dress. Stick to one type of flower or mix several complementing ones for a colorful arrangement.
  
  

Roses

• Roses probably top everyone's list of favorite flowers. They come in a variety of sizes and colors that range from white to almost black and every color in between. Roses look beautiful with perfectly formed petals, include varieties that are fragrant along with some that have no scent at all and have semi-hardwood stems that last several hours without drooping. Although they are easily available all year round, it is safer to book your required amount with your florist weeks in advance.
