Focal Flowers — the anchors of your arrangements
Hydrangea
Year-round
The #1 centerpiece flower. One stem fills more visual space than almost any other variety. Available in white, cream, blue, lavender, pink, and green. Needs special conditioning — see our conditioning guide.
Roses — Standard
Year-round
Versatile and timeless. Available in dozens of colors by the bunch of 25. Works equally well in tight low arrangements and loose, romantic centerpieces. Very reliable vase life.
Garden & David Austin Roses
Year-round
Full, romantic blooms that create a lush, garden-style look in tall or low centerpieces. Sold in bunches of 10. Best quality spring and summer.
Spray Roses
Year-round
Clustered blooms on a single stem — ideal for adding volume and texture to large reception arrangements. Budget-friendly for the visual coverage they provide. Great for arch structures.
Peonies
May – mid-June
Lush and full — a handful of peonies can anchor an entire centerpiece. Short season; book early. A few stems go a very long way in a low arrangement.
Ranunculus
Year-round
Layered blooms in rich colors. Beautiful massed together in low centerpieces or mixed with greenery and fillers. Best quality spring and fall.
Lisianthus
Year-round
Ruffled, peony-like blooms with exceptional vase life — a cost-effective focal flower for large events. Multiple blooms per stem means excellent visual coverage.
Dahlias
Late June – Sep
Large, dramatic blooms including the beloved Café au Lait. Stunning in low centerpieces and bud vase clusters. Rich colors — burgundy, terracotta, coral, blush. Weather-permitting season.
Calla Lilies
Year-round
Elegant and architectural. Works beautifully in modern, minimalist, or dramatic reception arrangements. Tall varieties create stunning statement centerpieces.
Sunflowers
March – Nov
Bold, cheerful, and heat-tolerant. Stunning in rustic, boho, and outdoor reception designs. Available in classic yellow and deep burgundy. One of our best-value focal flowers.
Height & Drama — flowers for tall arrangements and arches
Snapdragons
Year-round
Tall, dramatic spires that add height and vertical interest to centerpieces and ceremony structures. Available in nearly every color. Fragrant and long-lasting.
Stock
Year-round
Dense, fragrant spikes in rich colors. Adds beautiful texture and a wonderful scent to reception arrangements. A favorite for romantic, full-bodied designs.
Lilies — Oriental
Year-round
Fragrant and dramatic. Excellent for tall centerpieces. Remove anthers before pollen opens — stains fabric permanently. Need 5–7 days to open fully.
Curly Willow
Year-round
Dramatic twisted branches. Adds architectural height to ceremony structures and tall centerpieces. Available in short, medium, and long lengths.
Greens for Centerpieces & Arches
Greenery should make up 20–30% of every arrangement. For ceremony arches, Italian Ruscus is the professional’s choice. See our Year-Round Greens guide and Using Greens & Filler guide.
Italian Ruscus
Year-round
The professional standard for ceremony arches. Holds shape and color out of water for hours. Dense leaf coverage hides mechanics completely. Always install first before any flowers.
Eucalyptus
Year-round
The most versatile wedding green. Willow eucalyptus creates beautiful draping movement for arches and tall arrangements. Seeded eucalyptus adds texture to centerpieces.
Salal
Year-round
Round, matte leaves. The go-to backdrop for garden-style arrangements. Very affordable. Provides beautiful base coverage for centerpieces and low arrangements.
Ferns & Tropical Leaves
Year-round
Leatherleaf, flat fern, and tropical leaves add lush coverage and texture. Great for large-scale ceremony structures and statement centerpieces.
