It's worth noting that these flowers take a little extra attention, but they are available almost all year, and each head measures four to eight inches in diameter, giving brides more bang for their buck.

·       Iris:

Irises are most often associated with a vivid purplish hue. Still, they also come in various other lovely colors, such as pink, yellow, and white.
