Your choice of florals is one of the most important ways to distinguish your wedding and set your overall tone and feel. With thousands of different types and colors of Orchids, you will have an abundance of choices available to match your wedding’s color scheme and create a spectacular sensory experience for you and your guests to remember forever.

Not long ago Orchids were a sign of wealth and social standing in the US because it was so expensive to cultivate the flowers in this country. Today, we are able to import the flowers from all around the world, making them far more accessible to use in wedding décor. Orchids, especially Cymbidium Orchids are perfect for wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, or centerpieces because they are one of the most wilt-free flowers. Their robust waxy petals are more resistant to drying out than other flowers. So they are even perfect for outdoor weddings!
