Many people choose white as the predominant color in their wedding bouquet and for their attendants' corsages. White is symbolic of purity, and it is a wonderful selection for wedding flowers.

Some flowers are quite fragrant, while others don't have an odor at all. Many are simply just beautiful works of art for our eyes to behold.
Consider choosing a smaller colorful flower to use along with white poppies in a bridal bouquet or in a corsage. Blue, pink, or lavender forget-me-nots are a fantastic choice. Their colors are unlike any other flowers found in nature, and they compliment white poppies very nicely. Blue forget-me-nots are a beautiful sky-blue color topped with a perfect yellow dot in the center of each bloom. These are the most popular choice because of their uniquely intense blue color. They are also the most recognizable hue when thinking of the forget-me-not.
Another white flower to consider for your wedding bouquet and corsages is the salpiglossis. Despite its name, it's a very beautiful flower that boasts velvety funnel-shaped blooms. Their exotic and breathtaking beauty is sure to make the most stunning wedding bouquet and corsages.
You might want to consider complimenting the white color of salpiglossis with smaller flowers such as colored baby's breath or tiny pastel colored roses. Small fragrant roses would make a stunning bouquet, and a white salpiglossis flanked by two small pastel colored roses would make a very striking corsage.
White bellflowers make beautiful wedding bouquets and corsages. They are synonymous with summer, and they would be perfect for a summer wedding. There are several species to choose from, some with clusters of flowers and others bearing one single but striking bloom.
Bellflowers would be best complimented with sprigs of pastel colored baby's breath or small bunches of blue brunnera, which is very similar to blue forget-me-nots. This exquisite flower boasts unique heart-shaped foliage which would be perfect when used in a wedding bouquet or for wedding corsages.
A well-know white flower to consider for a wedding bouquet or corsage is the ever-popular chrysanthemum. There are many varieties of chrysanthemum, and all make wonderful wedding bouquets and corsages. Some types of chrysanthemums to consider are painted daisies, Shasta daisies, and the beloved fall mum. These are perfect for a fall wedding celebration.
White chrysanthemums go well with small colored asters, colorful baby's breath, or beautifully vibrant shades of yarrow infused with small fern branches.
Consult a gardener's guide for photos of specific flowers. The flowers you choose for your wedding will make an everlasting impression on guests, but most of all they will be an important part of your celebration. They'll be forever captured in pictures, and they will symbolize the perfection of the love you share as a married couple.
