Never Underestimate Choosing a Wedding Bouquet: A Personal Approach Beats Pinterest
Choosing a specific type of wedding flower affects not just the overall look of the arrangement, but also its longevity, scent, and the whole energy of your day. Every bride has her favorite flower, and that's exactly the starting point for our team at KvětinyExpres.cz.
Whether it's mid-June or the end of September, it's important to know the properties of each plant. Here's an overview of the absolute most popular wedding flowers, along with tips from our florists on how to work with them so they stay beautiful all day long.
1. Roses (The Queen of Flowers) and the Spray Rose Trend
The rose has long been the most popular wedding flower, symbolizing pure love. Its huge advantage is year-round availability and an endless range of color shades.
A tip from our designer Bára: "Classic large-headed roses are gorgeous, but the season's absolute hit is spray roses. They have several smaller blooms on a single stem. They give a bouquet incredible texture, a looser feel, and delicacy. They combine beautifully with eucalyptus for a more relaxed look."
2. Peony Wedding Bouquets: Gentle Dominance
Peonies are an absolute hit for spring and summer weddings. From a small, firm bud, they unfurl into an incredibly lush, luxurious bloom. They're a symbol of romance and a happy marriage.
A note from our florists: Peonies are very sensitive to heat — on hot summer days, they can open and shed their petals very quickly. To guarantee your peonies arrive at the optimal stage of bloom, we transport them exclusively in our air-conditioned Airway vehicles. That way, heat never gets the chance to ruin your bouquet before you reach the altar. (Read more about their availability in our article 2026 Wedding Flowers.)
3. Orchids and Calla Lilies: Modern Elegance and Firm Shapes
If you're looking for something non-traditional and highly elegant, this is your choice:
-
Calla lilies (Zantedeschia): Symbolize timeless beauty. Thanks to their smooth, firm stems, they're perfect for creating modern, minimalist bouquets with clean lines.
-
Orchids (e.g. Phalaenopsis or Cymbidium): A year-round, very popular flower that radiates luxury. Orchids are fantastic not just in bouquets, but also as stunning hanging decorations in a venue. (If you're unsure which bouquet shape suits your dress, our Guide to Wedding Bouquet Shapes can help.)
4. Freesias, Tulips, and Lily of the Valley: Delicacy and Fragrance
These delicate flowers are ideal for brides seeking tenderness and an intoxicating scent.
-
Freesias: Stand out with an intense, sweet fragrance and beautifully round out spring and summer arrangements.
-
Tulips and lily of the valley: The essence of spring and purity. They're delicate, very romantic flowers that need a cool environment, though. Our air-conditioned Airway vehicles are an absolute lifesaver for them.
5. Opulent Hydrangeas: A Master of Volume
Hydrangeas are grand and give wedding decor huge volume and a festive touch. They're available in shades from white all the way to a magical blue (a great way to incorporate the "something blue" tradition).
A tip from our specialist Monika: "Hydrangeas are incredibly thirsty. If we tie them into a bouquet, their stems need to be perfectly treated. For large outdoor installations, we always put them in special floral water ampoules, so they stay one hundred percent fresh all day long."

An increasingly popular choice for natural, rustic weddings.
-
Eucalyptus: Its silvery-gray leaves add sophistication, smell wonderful, and hold up perfectly even in extreme heat.
-
Meadow flowers and dahlias: Daisies, chamomile, or summer dahlias are the foundation of the relaxed look. "Meadow flowers, though, wilt very quickly without professional treatment. At KvětinyExpres.cz we give ornamental meadow varieties special care, and thanks to our air-conditioned Airway vehicles, we deliver them completely fresh," advises Andrea, our natural-arrangement specialist.
