Roses and Rosebuds.
There are many, many varieties of fresh roses and rosebuds for Brides to choose from these days. The same applies to choosing Silk Roses and Rosebuds. Generally speaking, Silk Roses do not carry the same "variety" names as fresh roses would, but it is helpful to know what 'kind' of rose you do like!

Open Roses.
You can see all the petals, and sometimes the stamens with an Open Rose. These roses are great eye-catchers in a bouquet, and can be a considerable money-saver as you don't need as many open roses, than say, rosebuds, to make your bouquet look "full." Open Roses generally do not make great boutonnieres, but do make a lovely simple corsage!

Open Rosebuds.
Just as a rosebuds starts to unfurl it's petals, before it becomes a grand Open Rose, we like Open Rosebuds because they look very traditional and are the most popular choice when sending Valentines Roses! Open Rosebuds look very nice in a tight rose bouquet. Add some stephanotis over the top, and viola! a very stylish bouquet! Open Rosebuds make very nice boutonnieres, and two or more make a great corsage!
Closed Rosebuds.
Just before the perfect petals break free, closed rosebuds make perfect boutonnieres and add wonderful size and texture to bouquets and corsages.
Garden Roses.
Not as "wedding-y" as an Open Rose, the Garden Rose is one that you'd most likely see growing in someone's front flower garden. The Stamens (center) are most visible. Tea Roses and Peace Roses are wonderful examples. Fresh Garden Roses are very delicate and fragile.
Cabbage Roses.
Like their name describes, Cabbage Roses look like, well, a cabbage, half cut open. They offer wonderful texture and interest to bouquets, corsages and arrangements.
English Roses.
Very Large Open Rose. You are able to see the inside stamens surrounded by many, many petals. They do not appear as delicate and fragile as a Garden Rose.
Ecuadorian Roses.
Super-sized Open Rosebuds! Very popular for Wedding flowers.
Miniature Roses.
Tiny open roses and rosebuds perfect for boutonnieres, corsages, hair flowers, and adding interest to arrangements or bouquets.
Orchids.
Orchids have long been a popular and traditional choice for Wedding Florals. There are many different orchids to choose from and the most common are:
Catalaya.
These orchids are usually larger than other varieties, making them a perfect candidate for saving money (use just a few in your bouquet, rather than many smaller orchids) or they look great just as a Single Stem Bouquet.
Cymbidium.
These orchids are the most chosen orchid for wedding work. They are used for bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, arrangements, and virtually in every place you can think of adding flowers!
Dendrobium.
Orchids make great impressions when grouped together. The Sprays that contain multiple orchid blooms create a fantastic bouquet full of interest and color!
Phalaenopsis.
Phalaenopsis orchids are elegant and classy and are great when combined with other traditional favorites in a bouquet.
