Ranunculus

Large multi-petal bloom resembling a cabbage rose. Their stalks are thin and not particularly sturdy. Excellent colour range, making them a versatile flower for bridal bouquets.

Rhamnus

Lovely broad, flat leaves available in a dark green year-round. These evergreen leaves are wonderful for the base of a bouquet or in table arrangements.

Rhododendron (Azalea)

Sweetly scented flowers that are produced singly or clustered. Grow in a variety of sizes and shapes, but are usually five-lobed and have flares or spots inside.

Rice Flower

A light pink to white spray of tiny round blossoms actually resembling rice, this flower is an elegant filler for bouquets. It adds a lightly fragrant, elegant look.

Rose

Often fragrant flowers, either solitary or grouped. They vary greatly in size, form and colour. Shapes include flat, cupped, rounded, urn, rosette and pom-pom. Naturally, roses are a very popular and fragrant wedding flower.

Rosehips

Small russet-coloured berries presented on slender branches, rosehips work particularly well when mixed with yellow, orange, burgundy or red flowers.

Rosemary (Rosemarinus)

An ideal foliage, that is scented as well as attractive. The flowers are a tubular shape and a purple-blue shade.

Rue (Ruta)

Aromatic foliage and flowers. The flowers are yellow with four to five petals. Foliage can cause irritation to skin.
