What Are Some Good Light Pink Flowers For A Wedding?
I’m looking for flowers for bouquets, decorations, and centerpieces. Would like to know some good flowers, preferably some I could order online and make my own arrangements. I’m getting married in May, so I’m looking for flowers that would be in bloom at that time. Thanks!

Carnations would be a good choice as they are affordable. You can put one at each place setting so that your guests can wear them or take them home if they choose.

May is the perfect time for a wedding, unless it is on Mothers Day weekend. The flower prices will almost double at that time.
So best to choose a date after that.
There are lots of flowers to choose from:
bridal pink standard tea roses
baby pink or cherry blossom pink spray roses (lots of roses on one stem)
baby pink sweetheart roses (1 rose per stem but much smaller than a standard rose)
mini carnations
alstroemeria lillies (delicate small lillies that are quite durable)
leptosporumum (a frilly elongated stem that is covered in tiny little pink flowers)
baronia (a stem which is covered in a darker pink filler flowerO
Don’t forget you can also tint flowers or spray paint them (using a good quality floral spray of course)
mini cala lillies are a favorite in this area. Simply spray the back part of the lilly lightly to get the shade that you want. You can the same with cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids, daisies etc.
Good luck!

I too got married in May, although quite some time ago. I had great results with tulips for bouquets and peonies for centerpieces. Both are in bloom in May and, because the peonies themselves are such a large flower (about 3 + inches across), they are terrific to make simple, but lush, centerpieces with lots of greenery.
Be sure to specify light pink, as both peonies and tulips come in lots of shades or pink.

Roses and Carnations mixed or just one is really beautiful.

One word “PERFECT”

Roses tulips and carnations are the first ones you think of…but most white flower can be tinted to a shade of pink by mixing up food coloring with water…. try it to see if it works first but I’d go to a floral market and see what is available, you’d really be surprised at the flowers that are out there that you’d never think of or plain didn’t know about. Good Luck!!!!

Carnations are always pretty. Pink roses would be beautiful.

Ask a florist in your area, and you can probably work out a good deal with them to buy in quantity. The established ones would know the “in season flowers” for a paticular month, and would know where to get out of season flowers for you too. I would suggest either looking up the paticular flower online to be sure it suits what you have in mind, or get the florist to furnish pictures or magazines with what the flower looks like.Some give discounts on weddings also.
Congratulations!

Any white flower can be tinted. Take your pick.

something for you to think about. even though fresh flowers are beautiful, you can get the same affect from silk flowers. you can try orchids, tulips, roses, with natural baby breaths and you can not tell the different.

gardenia
rose
November 28th, 2009 at 10:48 am
You can go online with any florist.

Have you thought of using silk flowers? At least for bouquets, that is what I did and you can keep it forever, made an extra toss away bouquet.
Try carnations, or pink roses, all flowers can be dyed. Even the silk ones.
Congrats on your wedding and I wish you the best.

Cherry blossoms? Maybe dogwood blossoms? Marrying in May, there should be quite a variety available.
November 28th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Roses! Oh, wait, summer flowers… try tulips, I like those.
