Orchids!!

Orchids are often a wedding and special event favorite because of their diversity, versatility, and sheer elegance.  Decide which orchids best fit YOUR style and needs!

Phaelanopsis Orchids.  Beautiful, delicate blossoms available in pinks, magentas, and white.  Great for creating a striking, modern look.

Cymbidium Orchids.  Available in a wide range of colors.  Great for creating submerged centerpieces.  Blooms can be cut from stem, and used in bouquets or as floating flowers.  Mini cymbidium orchids are often used in corsages or boutonnieres.

Dendrobium Orchids.  Available in a wide range of colors.  Great for creating dramatic, "spray" arrangements.  Provides an elegant, but affordable alternative to cymbidium orchids.  Blooms are small and work well in corsages and boutonnieres.  

Vanda Orchids.  Available in a wide range of colors.  Similar to dendrobium orchids, but stems are truncated at their tips.  Blooms are more "plate" shaped and do not have a "throat."

Mokara orchids.  Similar to dendrobium orchids, but stems are truncated at their tips.  Blooms are smaller, more "star" shaped, and do not have a "throat."  Great for creating contemporary, submerged flower centerpieces.

Cattleya Orchids.  Large, gorgeous blooms with a dramatic "throat."  Available in a variety of colors.

Oncidium Orchids.  Only available in yellow.  Small, delicate, paper-like blooms inspire their alternative name, "Dancing Ladies."  Great for creating dramatic, "spray" centerpieces.

Lady Slipper Orchids.  Modern, fun, and unusual!
