The Best Pink Wedding Flowers
Need to know the difference between roses and peonies? We've got you. Here's the rundown on some popular pink flower names and varieties for your wedding decor.
Astilbe
Slightly resembling feathers, this flowering plant blooms in a pretty light pink color, in addition to white, purple and red. It's often used in bouquets and centerpieces as an accent, but you can use astilbe on its own if you're going for a more simplistic look.
Dahlias
Dahlias are incredibly popular flowers for fall weddings. They're available in an assortment of different shapes, sizes and colors, ranging from ombré pink and yellow cafe au lait dahlias to raspberry-hued pompon dahlias.
Hydrangeas
These quintessential summer wedding flowers are loved for their classic, chic look. Their large, rounded shape brings fullness to bouquets and other arrangements, and you can find them in white, purple, blue and green varieties in addition to pink.

Lisianthus
Sometimes mistaken for roses, lisianthus feature petals with a similar swirled effect in the center of the flower. They're available in several different colors, including pink, apricot, purple, white and green, which makes them versatile for a range of color palettes.
Peonies
Peonies, which range from barely there blush to hot pink and coral tones, are arguably the most coveted pink wedding flowers. Because they're only in season for a brief timeframe in late spring, peonies tend to come with a higher cost and may not be available during other times of the year, but your florist can share their pro advice for other options you might love.
Proteas
Featuring crown-like spikes instead of petals, proteas are a super unique choice if you're looking for flowers that make a statement. They're native to hot, sunny climates like South Africa and Australia, which makes them perfect for summer weddings.
Ranunculus
We like to think of ranunculus as a cross between roses and peonies—they have the densely packed, swirled petals similar to roses, with a round shape that resembles a peony. Ranunculus are available in both light and dark pink colors and are in season from late winter to early spring.
Roses
As a longtime symbol of love and romance, roses are a perfect wedding flower for any theme. You'll have dozens of varieties and colors to pick from, whether you choose soft pink garden roses, bright fuchsia tea roses or something in between.
