All About Bulk Garden Roses for Your DIY Wedding

Are you getting ready for the occasion you've been Pinterest-planning forever — your wedding? We know how it goes. We also know fresh bulk garden roses can make the perfect wedding day even better.

Bulk Garden roses, also known as old-fashioned roses, are larger and lusher than standard roses. These stunning flowers date back to the 14th century and feature blooms anywhere from 3.5 to 5.5 inches wide. Garden roses are also open, more natural and look like something you'd pick from your own garden. They're perfect for natural brides who want soft and romantic floral designs.

When you want a classy bloom choice appropriate for elegant and rustic themes alike, our wholesale garden roses are a gorgeous choice. Need to know more about these beauties?

We live to share.

Meaning of Garden Roses

Is there anything more romantic than roses? These classic flowers have been used throughout history to share love. The traditional meaning of garden roses is "I am grateful for your presence in my life." For weddings, these blooms represent gratitude, happiness, and love.

Garden roses can also be used to show appreciation for a new romance, to celebrate an anniversary, or even to apologize. No matter what you want to say, wholesale garden roses from Flower Moxie are the perfect way to share your feelings.

Garden Roses also have meaning by the color as well. White symbolizes purity, while yellow garden roses represent joy. Red garden roses are a common choice for love and passion, while pink garden roses are associated with grace and appreciation. If you are not sure which color to choose, let the occasion guide your decision — bright, bold colors are perfect for a festive celebration or summer wedding, while soft pastels work beautifully for more subdued gatherings.

Now that you know a bit more about the meaning of garden roses, it is time to learn more about them.

Characteristics of Fresh Bulk Garden Roses

As a beautiful addition to bridal bouquets and wedding arrangements, bulk garden roses are one of the most popular floral choices among our DIY brides.

Unlike standard roses — which have close-bunched petals and a rounder shape — or spray roses — which are smaller clusters of tiny roses on a single stem — garden roses have a crimped, tissue paper-like look that's both elegant and unique. They come in various colors from traditional reds and whites to more uncommon shades like peach and purple. If you are thinking about incorporating fresh garden roses into your bouquets or wedding floral arrangements, you can expect the following characteristics.

• Three to four inches in diameter
• Nine to 25 petals
• Sweet, flowery fragrance
• Ruffled petals
• 12 stems per bunch
• Quick-blooming
• Hardy
• Available in rosette form — with a ruffled cup shape — or quartered form with four different centers 

Choosing Bulk Garden Roses for Your Wedding

Wondering where bulk garden roses are best used in your arrangements? These beautiful blooms are typically considered an "accent flower" used to complement and bring out other varieties in your bouquets. Usually, accent flowers take up about 20% of the whole arrangement.

With their elegant shape and delicate ruffled petals, fresh bulk garden roses add both volume and texture to any floral design. They are at their best when incorporated into:

• Centerpieces: Garden roses stand out stunningly as part of a well-placed centerpiece for your reception tables. We recommend using three to five stems in each centerpiece.
• Large arrangements: Because of their large bloom and volume, garden roses are more suited toward large floral arrangements than small pieces like boutonnieres. Incorporate one or two bunches in each big arrangement.
• Bridal and bridesmaid bouquets: These natural beauties will steal your heart in bridal bouquets — either as an accent flower or as the primary bloom. Plan to use six to nine stems for the bridal arrangement and one to three stems for bridesmaid bouquets.
• Arch Arrangements: Garden Roses are beautiful additions to Arch Arrangements, Arbors, and Chuppahs alike. They are a perfect way to bring an extra touch of refinement to your wedding ceremony.
• Ceremony Urns: Garden roses are also a good choice for ceremony urns, whether they flank the aisle or sit at the altar. Use three to five stems in each urn.
• Altar Pieces: For a beautiful garden-inspired wedding, try using garden roses in your altar pieces. We recommend two to four large blooms per arrangement.

Now that you know more about the beautiful, romantic garden roses, you can start planning your DIY wedding bouquets and arrangements. Whether you are incorporating them into a large display or an elegant bridal bouquet, these lovely blooms are sure to make your day even more special. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
