Whilst roses are probably the most romantic flower out there, the humble daisy brings an air of youth and sweet charm to a wedding. From the nostalgic looking Shasta daisy to the vibrant Gebera, there is a choice of daisy to suit any wedding style. 

 

Shasta Daisy Style 

 

The Shasta daisy hints at young love with its paper white petals and sunny center. This flower appeals to budding brides everywhere. Think - he loves me, he loves me not - he loves me  we tied the knot! 

 

Casual weddings are particularly suited to the Shasta daisy with textures such as eyelet lace and crisp cotton fabrics. There is also something quite retro about this daisy and an ankle length fifties style gown and net angel style veil wouldn’t look out of place with a Shasta daisy wedding theme. 

 

Have your florist create floral crowns for your flower girls, simple pomanders and hand tied bouquets for your attendants and yourself. Be careful though, as this flower can be a bit delicate, so treat it with care. 

 

Gerber Daisy Drama 

 

The vibrant colors of Gerberas have been a favorite amongst brides for many years. From bright pinks to pale pastels this daisy has something for everyone. For the modern bride a combination of purple, magenta and mauve make for an eye catching scheme. 

 

No matter what the season of your wedding, there is a color to suit, including pink and green for summer and bright yellow and burnt orange for fall. Red Gerberas are big for festive December weddings, whilst white and pale yellow combine for a fresh spring feel. 

 

All Dolled Up With Daisies 

 

Try these fabulous ways with daisies for your wedding. 

 

Wheatgrass Trays 

 

For an unusual centerpiece, set out trays of luscious green wheatgrass, dotted with white or colored daisies for an explosion of color. Make sure you wire the stems of the flowers though or they won’t stand up! 

 

Floating Heads 

 

For a pretty display float Shasta daisy heads in bowls of water or large vases. For a more contemporary look float single flower heads in single vases or small glasses. If your reception location has a pool or pond focal toss a mass of flowers head into it & light floating candles as the evening draws in. 

 

Flashy Splashes 

 

If you are using gerberas, then match certain elements of your wedding to the color(s). For instance match the sashes on the bridesmaid’s dresses, napkins or table linens, candles and placecards. Go that extra bit further and design cocktails in the same colors.

 

Ribbons on Ribbons 

 

Match your color scheme palette to your gerberas. Find ribbons in the right colors and use them to wrap votive holders, vases and use them in your favors. Combine two shades that contrast for a bold look such as orange and fuchsia, or be more subtle and choose pale pink and yellow. 

 

Fruit and Flowers 

 

Combine gerberas in citrus colors with citrus fruits like oranges, lemons or limes. Put them together in your centerpieces for bright, dramatic arrangements. 

 

Back to Basics 

 

If it is an all white look you are after but the Shasta daisy doesn’t quite cut it for you, don’t forget that gerberas come in white too. They are perfect substitute to Shastas as they bring a nice fresh and modern twist to your arrangements. 

 

Rustic Roots 

 

Gerberas and Shastas are fantastic for a rustic style wedding. Arrange them in jam jars or enamel pitchers. For bouquets and posies tie them with some raffia or twine and add a bird nest collar. Gingham is also a great pattern to combine with daisy’s and really brings a country feel to a scheme.
