Bouquet Breakdown

By Kelsey

This purple bouquet is one of our fan favorites. We get compliments on it all the time, and we're so appreciative! A lot of people want to know the name of those deep, dark purple flowers. Today we'll share with you the breakdown of this bouquet and some tips about each flower.


El Aleli - These are the deep, dark purple flowers that everyone loves. There are actually multiple little flowers on each stem, which make it look so full. These are some of the best flowers for the dark purple color. But beware, they have a STRONG smell. You do not want these in your hair or on a corsage. The stems also wilt quickly in excessive heat.

Leatherleaf - These are a very hardy version of ferns. Up close they are tough, shiny, and almost plastic-looking. But mixed into a bouquet, they are a great if you are looking for dark greenery. They are also very affordable.

Orchids (Lilac Mist) - Orchids are very hardy flowers. You can leave them out of water all day and they won't wilt. We recommend them for corsages, boutonnieres, and hair pieces.

Roses (white) - Roses are also pretty hardy. They are surprisingly cheap, unless you have a February wedding (Valentines Day prices, Eek!) Be careful with white roses; any damage will instantly turn brown and will definitely show.

Campanula (stock) - There are several varieties of stock, and most websites don't clarify the type. These "Campanula" stock blooms are about the size of your thumb. There are many blooms per stem, so you get a lot for your money.

Wax Flower - We love these tiny little flowers! They make a great filler, especially if you want to avoid greenery in your bouquet. The come in a variety of pinks, purples, and white.
