Brides with allergies may think their only other option is to use imitations of the real thing but there is hope. There are ways to prevent or ease potential allergic reactions if you choose the right type of flower.</span></p>
<p>Experts at Bunches Direct say choose flowers that release less pollen. </p>
<p>Flowers like spray roses which are tiny but come in a variety of color have a light scent, low capacity to release airborne pollen and can still add color and style to your wedding.</p>

<p>A good floral designer or how good do-it-yourself floral guide can help put together arrangements and bouquets with any flower.</p>
<p><strong>Other safe flowers</strong></p>
<p>Hydrangeas</p>
<p>orchids</p>
<p>roses</p>
<p>hybrid tea roses</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 17px;">Some lilies can also be a good choice if the brown pollen-bearing anthers on the tip of each of the six stamens are removed.</span></p>
<p><strong>Flowers to avoid</strong></p>
<p>oriental lilies</p>
<p>mini asters</p>
<p>montecasino</p>
<p>goldenrod</p>
<p>sunflowers</p>
<p>chrysanthemums</p>
<p>stephanotis</p>
<p>gardenias</p>
<p>babies breath</p>
<p>stock</p>
<p>misty</p>
<p>Various blossoms from trees should also be avoided. So, steer away from blossoms from orange, almond and cherry trees.</p>
<p>There is no reason for a bride with allergies to forgo a flower filled wedding event. If she chooses the right flowers she can avoid an allergic wedding catastrophe. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you buy wholesale you are able to create any kind of bouquet you desire; you can even recreate the one you imagined when you were a little girl dressing up in your mother’s pearls and parading around the house singing “here comes the bride”.  You probably even pulled the petals off daisies when you were little, while chanting “he loves me, he loves me not”. Go back to your years of innocence and purity and create a stunning bouquet of gerbera daisies, which are available in a slew of different colours.</p>
<p>Daisies are the second most popular flower for bridal bouquets after roses (of course), and they are the fifth most popular flower in the world, following closely behind roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, and tulips. They symbolize purity and innocence, plus denote classic beauty. Gerberas are available in a wide variety of colours, all of which are equally stunning. And if you buy <a href="http://www.bunchesdirect.com/enlarge_gerbera.html">wholesale gerberas</a> you are going to find them to be very affordable (usually about $0.60/stem). They definitely are within most people’s budget, which is always a perk when trying to plan a wedding (their beauty makes them look rich and lively, but their price tag screams bargain!).</p>
<p>If you are going to use gerberas in a bouquet, or even in your centerpieces, you will find a vibrant array of colours available, such as bright pinks, oranges, purples,<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-70" title="White Gerbera Daisy" src="http://www.bunchesdirect.com/wholesale-flowers-guide/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/White-Gerbera-Daisy1-225x300.jpg" alt="White Gerbera Daisy" width="225" height="300" /> yellows, and they are available in classic white too. White gerberas are the ones that a bride can choose to either play up by itself, or include it with a mix of daisy shades (see right). Remember it is your day, so select colours that reflect your personal tastes and character. Try paler shades of pink or yellow for a cool classic look, or bolder colours like orange to make an exciting statement. Gerberas are so popular for weddings because of their versatility in colour variety. Their various colours suit almost any colour theme, and their bold vibrancy adds further cheer to your already very happy occasion.</p>
<p>As well, daisies are able to look wonderful in both bridal bouquets and table centerpieces. They are able to be grouped together or stand out alone to make a bold statement.</p>
<p>If you are buying wholesale flowers for your wedding to create your own bouquets and arrangements, gerberas are a great decision since they are very easy to handle, even for amateur florists. Gerberas do not wilt as easily either as other flowers that are more delicate may.  If you keep your bouquet and arrangement designs simple, and make sure to <a href="http://www.bunchesdirect.com/wholesale-flowers-guide/2009/09/beautiful-floral-arrangements-are-easy-with-these-tips-to-ensure-freshness/">follow the suggestions</a> on how to keep your flowers fresh, then selecting gerberas for your wedding flower is a brilliant decision. Your guests will be stunned at the beauty they can provide. Their bright, cheery nature is sure to add an extra sparkle to your already radiant day.</p>
<p>Gerberas are also ideal for brides who are looking for meaning with the flowers they select, since gerberas represent innocence, purity, and joy; three very positive attributes to possess at a wedding celebration. Gerberas are available year-round and they do not break the bank (especially if they are purchased wholesale).</p>
<p>Bring joy to one of the best days of your life by selecting <a href="http://www.bunchesdirect.com/enlarge_gerbera.html">gerberas</a> as your wedding flower.</p>
