Poppies. Available in a variety of colors, poppies are bright and fun! Their petals and wiry stems make them easy to work with, and they will add a lush look to your bouquet or centerpieces. We love the idea of paring poppies with tiny white daisies or colorful ranunculus.        
Roses
Known as the most romantic of all the blooms, roses signify passion and lust. Perfect for black tie affairs and garden parties alike, roses will add a touch of love to any bouquet. Try English roses for an extra-lush look. See our guide on roses.
Dahlias.
Known for its brightly colored single or double blooms, the dahlia signifies change (perfect for newlyweds, right)? We love the look of  a rustic bouquet filled with dahlia, eucalyptus and dusty miller.  
Orchids.
 Simple and delicate, orchids add a touch of feminine flair to any bouquet or centerpiece. For a ladylike look, try mixing both pink and white orchids in your bouquet.5Spider mums.These whimsical blooms are as cost effective as they as they are playful. Pair spider mums with a more pricey bloom like white roses or freesia for a stunning bouquet.  6Cosmos.These bitty blooms may be small, but they can make a huge impact in your bouquet.

Calla lillies.
