The Philippines is a warm and humid tropical country. Whenever my clients request for TULIPS in their bouquet, I always dissuade them as the flower tends to go limp when out of the cool airconditioned hotel room. I had a bride, due to her insistence, whose tulip filled bridal bouquet just lost all the flower heads when she was to go to church. I had to grab roses for an impromptu bouquet from the bridesmaids, flower girls – even some aisle flowers! What a nightmare! Roses, Stargazers and some Dahlias are popular and sturdy for this weather.

In my opinion, ROSES will always be in! It’s a romantic flower that comes in just about any color imaginable. It has withstood the test of time. Plus it compliments just about any other flower. I LOVE ROSES!!

I love peonies. I think that they will be the flower used alot in the future. Peonies are so graceful, elegant and beautiful.

This is a very tricky question and again a personal choice. Tulips is in for all time. Second will be Roses. If something has to be out then Amaryllis will be out because it does not stand out on its own,needs complementary flowers. Dahlia is out because of the limited availability and higher in price. Curious to see the what Preston has to say about this one.

I believe all flowers are beautiful. It is how we use them.This weekend I did bouquets of vandas, croton leaves and pin cushion proteas. it was completely out of the box, but my clients loved the colors and I loved the textures. Making it fresh is our eternal challenge. i must say I had so much fun designing this weekend. I feel blessed to be able to do our work, truly blessed, but boy do I need more of it.

Hi everyone and Preston!

My feeling is that this is a trick question by Preston, as he does seem to have a fun sense of humor!
I’ve noticed that these flowers are all timeless and have been used for years but in different ways. With each new trend, each of these flowers is worked in the new “must have” designs. Of course, it does depend on how creative the designer can get with his craft. But these flower choices can make a lazy designer look great.
Preston, was this a trick question? I’m sure you are smiling.

They are all IN! It is just a matter of how you use them and what they are paired with. A beautiful bloom is a beautiful bloom and as a floral designer I have too many favorite flowers to think of anything as being “out” other than carnations, babies breath and anything that has been dyed! Dahlias are a perennial favorite of mine. And I agree with Jana that there is a lot of hydrangea in wedding work, but a bride wants what she wants and if she wants hydrangea by golly she’s gonna get it!
