Jasmine (மல்லிகை):
Jasmine remains a beloved choice for winter weddings, symbolizing purity and sacredness. The cooler months enhance its fragrance, making it even more appealing for bridal garlands, temple offerings, and décor accents. Its delicate white petals stand out beautifully against the vibrant hues of other winter flowers.
Chrysanthemum (செவ்வந்தி):
Known for its wide variety of colors and shapes, chrysanthemums are a versatile choice for wedding décor. They bloom prolifically during the cooler months, making them ideal for altar arrangements, mandap decorations, and vibrant floral installations. In Tamil Nadu, these flowers are often associated with joy and celebration, adding a festive touch to winter weddings.
Rose (ரோஜா):
Roses are a timeless symbol of love and romance. Cultivated in abundance during the winter months, they are used in everything from bridal bouquets to intricate garlands. Available in a spectrum of colors, roses lend themselves to both traditional and contemporary wedding themes. The deep red rose is particularly popular for Tamil Nadu weddings, representing passion and devotion.
Gladiolus (கிளாடியோலஸ்):
With its tall, elegant spikes, gladiolus adds drama and sophistication to wedding décor. These flowers bloom in various shades, from soft pastels to vibrant reds and oranges. Perfect for creating grand floral installations, gladiolus is often used to line aisles, frame entrances, or serve as a backdrop for wedding stages.
