Carnations aren’t the most popular flowers for weddings but using them you may stand out! Besides, carnations have a whole bunch of advantages to enjoy, so they are great carnations for bouquets, centerpieces and arches. Let’s take a look at carnations and how to implement them into wedding centerpieces.
What Are Carnation Advantages?
The durability of carnations actually makes them an excellent choice for weddings. They can last an entire wedding day without water, which means the flower traditionally labeled as a filler flower can actually be a focal point in design without any worries.
Thanks to a lot of colors, you will be able to find a proper shade of carnations for your wedding. Full and exuberant, carnations create a lush factor when designing. They allow us to add depth to our color palette. Their beauty, texture, and strength add value to designs as an accent flower, especially with all of the new varieties and colors being offered by growers. They give life to designs for a fraction of the cost their counterparts, like perhaps ranunculus or peonies, do.
Carnations are flexible in use for design—from luxury styles to boho themes, a carnation can add a beautiful touch to any design.
A low price tag means you’ll still come out ahead, whether you’ve selected a mono-floral design, or are positioning them as accent flowers.

What To Pair Carnations With?
Pair carnations with garden roses, spray roses, or other round mass flowers for a textural accent. Paired alongside such blooms, along with peonies or even hydrangea, carnations have the opportunity to shine—and maybe even steal the spotlight. Carnations are known for their ruffled petals, easily creating a layered effect without much effort. Embrace the ruffle and accentuate it with other flowers with a similar effect, like ranunculus. The end result will be a multi-dimensional design teeming with life and beauty.
Sometimes the greenery makes the bouquet. A perfect option for a wedding in the spring, accentuate a blush pink bouquet with a variety of greenery: dusty miller (otherwise known as lamb’s ear), hypericum berries, and variegated pittosporum used in this romantic pink and green bouquet that exudes femininity.
