Holiday Wedding Flowers

With the holiday season fast approaching, many brides are exploring their options for wedding flowers. Here at The Grower’s Box you will find that most of our wedding flowers are available all year round! This is great news for brides as it means that your options are almost limitless when it comes to selecting your wedding flowers!

Although there are no set rules for wedding colors during the winter and holiday seasons, many brides opt to choose wedding flowers in classic jewel tones that are enhanced by nature at this time of year. Rich and vibrant red, green, gold, silver, ice blue, and deep purple are a few colors that are popular for the upcoming season. There is truly a ‘Winter Wonderland’ of flower options to be found.

As you explore options for the upcoming season’s holiday wedding flowers, consider the addition of Christmas greens, wreaths, and pine cones as viable, fun, affordable, and seasonally appropriate options!

Christmas Greens & Pine Cones Christmas Wreaths Pine Cones

Fresh Christmas greens added to wedding flowers create subtle holiday magic. The fragrance is inviting and boughs can be used in large and small quantities to add charm to vase arrangements, bouquets, and altar and aisle decorations.

Wreaths are a cost effective way to incorporate the holiday season into wedding decor. We offer a number of Christmas wreaths including beautiful pre-designed wreaths with hand-tied bows. We also have several ‘Designer’s Wreaths’ which are great options for brides. These wreaths come with pine cones and can be left natural or enhanced with your choice of decorations to match your wedding flowers.

Pine cones dropped in a ‘fish bowl’ make for festive centerpieces. Pine cones also look great scattered across tables or used to line an aisle. We have even seen pine cones used with rose petals to line an aisle… and the result was beautiful!

Rose petals in red, dark red, cream and white are truly magical decorations. Simply scatter them across any aisle, table or walkway for added elegance. Whether you opt to go with fresh rose petals or freeze dried rose petals, these added charms will not disappoint.

Another viable option would be the addition of Christmas trees in varying sizes to your decorations. Christmas trees can be left as they are or decorated with white lights to add warmth. Christmas trees make any space more inviting and with simple decorations can really enhance holiday wedding flowers. Consider adding decor to the Christmas trees that coincide with your wedding flowers for instant appeal.

The options are limitless when it comes to your holiday wedding flowers! We are excited for the upcoming holiday season and would love to help you as you plan for your holiday wedding flowers.

A Million Thanks!

Our wedding was a week ago. I had to take a moment to THANK YOU for supplying the most gorgeous Dendrobium Orchids. Our guests though that the wedding flowers were artificial, they were so beautiful.

4-Stem Dendrobium Orchid Bouquets

We ordered the 4-stem bouquets. The flowers arrived on the day promised. Once my daughter and I separated them, cut the stems, and put them in water, I cried! They were more beautiful than I ever imagined! I will definitely recommend The Grower’s Box to all of my friends. On top of the beauty of the flowers, we saved hundreds of dollars. We NEVER could have bought these arrangements from a florist at such a low cost… and the quality would probably not be as perfect!

Additionally, prior to their arrival, questions arose. I contacted customer service. Each time my questions were answered quickly, accurately, and professionally. You, Grower’s Box, are AWESOME!

A ‘Welcoming’ Trend ~ Freeze Dried Rose Petals

Every year new trends emerge in the floral industry. This year we have been pleasantly surprised to see a significant increase in sales of freeze dried rose petals! These beautiful petals are not only being used for weddings and events, but hotels, spas, resorts, and restaurants have taken akin to the freeze dried rose petals for added decor and ambiance!

Assorted Freeze Dried Rose Petals Autumn Harvest Freeze Dried Rose Petals Brial Blend Freeze Dried Rose Petals

Hotels & Hospitality: In just the first few months of this year we have shipped a large amount of freeze dried rose petals to hotels and other businesses throughout the hospitality industry. Some of our customers have indicated that they have begun to offer ‘honeymoon packages’ where the room is transformed into an intimate setting with the mere dimming of lights and the sprinkling of rose petals in the bedroom and bathroom.

Resorts & Spas: Resorts and spas have also been quick to pick up on the trend of freeze dried rose petals. The longevity of these petals allows these establishments to create a peaceful and relaxing environment for their customers that requires little maintenance. Due to the fact that freeze dried rose petals maintain their shape and color, resorts and spas are able to leave displays out longer, have less turnover of product than they would with fresh rose petals, and still enjoy the beauty and fragrance of having beautiful rose petals throughout their facility.

Weddings & Events: Freeze dried rose petals remain extremely popular at weddings and events. This year it appears as though many brides have decided to use freeze dried rose petals instead of fresh rose petals. This shift in the trend could be a result of many different factors. It could be that businesses and brides are feeling the pressures of a sluggish economy and have opted for the more economical freeze dried rose petals. The trend could also be a result of an increasing number of venues that are limiting the use of fresh rose petals as decorations. Freeze dried rose petals are more widely accepted at reception halls and wedding and event venues because they don’t stain, and because they are much easier to clean up.

Whether you are a business or a bride, consider adding our beautiful freeze dried rose petals to your list of decorations to be included at your next wedding or event! The Grower’s Box offers a wide selection of both fresh and freeze dried rose petals, as well as many varieties of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers.

Dani & Todd’s Wedding Flowers

Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding flowers. The roses were big, fresh, and smelled great. They were delivered on time and were in great shape. The centerpieces for the tables at our reception were breathtaking! The sales rep that I spoke to suggested ideas to make the centerpieces look grand and airy, yet classy and elegant. The guests loved the centerpieces and some fortunate guests were able to take the centerpieces home. Everything that we had pictured came alive on our big day.

Our wedding flowers were amazing and did not break our budget!
