When Kim Kardashian walked down the aisle with NBA player Kris Humphries last weekend, she carried a bouquet of white roses, according to the New York Daily News.
The arrangement matched the black and white theme of the wedding, which extended to the attire of all guests in attendance. Roses were an appropriate choice for Kardashian, whose lavish wedding was highly anticipated. Roses represent romance and are both classic and contemporary, according to TheKnot.com. They are prime candidates for weddings because of this reputation, but they are also a good choice because they are varied and affordable, the website reports.
Widely available, these classic blooms can cost as little as $1.50 per stem, though more rare varieties may cost up to $10 per stem. Varieties of roses – whether hybrid tea roses, spray roses or garden roses – can be combined with a number of other blooms to fit the tone of the wedding that the bride would like.
Classic white roses can be paired with a classic white hydrangea or gardenia, or mixed in color and variety with more tropical flowers, the website suggests. In addition to use in weddings, roses are lovely as gifts – deep red, romantic bouquets or yellow blooms signifying friendship can be ordered online.
