The Chrysanthemum: A Wedding Flower Spotlight
Why chrysanthemums? Ask any DIY bride and they'll tell you: these autumn bloomers are the perfect addition to your wedding bouquet. Not only are they gorgeous, but chrysanthemum flowers are also incredibly versatile.
They can be used in both formal and informal settings, and work well as centerpieces, bouquets, or boutonnieres. These timeless flowers also come in several varieties, including spider mums, football mums, and cremons; all great to use as focal or filler flowers for your wedding bouquet.
We have recently added to our selection of mums and now carry all of the most popular Fall colors, as well as, an assortment of striking, electric colored tinted mums, so you can find one that matches your wedding theme perfectly.
If you're considering chrysanthemum flowers for your wedding bouquet on your big day, take a closer look at these beautiful blooms.
We think you'll love them as much as we do.
Cremon Style Chrysanthemums
Classic, with a true "mum style" shape and fullness. A single stem draws attention and a grouping builds a wall of color to provide contrast for your focal flower.
Dahlia Style Cremon Chrysanthemums
These chrysanthemums are similar to the dahlia flower, but much more hardy and offer an affordable alternative to a true dahlia.
Football Mums Chrysanthemums
The football mum is the largest of the mum family, with each stem holding a single head of long petals and no center button. They are an affordable focal flower because they fill a lot of visual space with a single stem.
Spider Mum Chrysanthemums
The spider mum is a unique flower within the mum family. Each stem has a single head with long, tubular outer petals, resembling an exploding firework or a spider.
Tinted Mums Chrysanthemums
These flowers are intravenously tinted using a white flower as the base to get striking colors! If head-turning wedding flowers is your goal, this is a great choice.
Daisy Style Chrysanthemums
Similar to daisies with a defined yellow center, but much larger and in bold colors.
And those are just some of the dozens we have available. To shop our full selection of chrysanthemum flowers at wholesale prices, check out our mums and spider mums collection at FiftyFlowers.com
