Orchids make a wonderful bouquet for a more contemporary wedding and are available in a range of pinks and whites. Although the flowers look delicate they are pretty robust and can withstand the pressures of a wedding day. Because they can survive several days without water, these beautiful flowers add an elegant touch to your bouquet and other floral arrangements.
