Wedding Blog
You guys had so many great suggestions for our next batch of flower characters, it was too difficult for us to narrow them down! We’re definitely gonna have a peony (there’ll be an all out war for that one), but we need to choose nine more. So please tell us which 9 out of the 17 flowers below we should choose. 
Please keep in mind that we’re looking for the following variables: 1) a variety of color, 2) flowers that don’t look similar to one another, and 3) flowers that you think will be popular as characters.
Here are the choices:
Peony & Cherry Blossom
(via greenhem & artcatcher)
Buttercup & Daffodil
(via gtj-45 & Flutterbye8567)
Jasmine & Gardenia
(via almostviola & YNatsuno)
Lily of the Valley & Hydrangea (also in pink, purple, and blue)
(via henribonell & reiusu)
Magnolia (also in white) & Snapdragon (also in yellow, orange, red, purple)
(via Soren Lorenson & machado17)
Dahlia & Zinnia* (both in pink, orange, yellow, red, white)
(via Curlgirl1 & buttersweet)
Lilac (also in pink) & Hyacinth**
(via sarahface & limowreck666)
Tulip (every color of the rainbow) & Calla Lily (also in white, yellow)
(via duvyna & Isabella P)
Sweet Pea*** & Petunia (also in pink)
(via becca3k & ilovemycamera)
Some things to consider:
* the dahlia & zinnia may look too much alike
** lilac & hyacinth are virtually identical so grape hyacinth is pictured
*** the sweet pea looks similar to Miss Orchid’s character
*** sweet pea is similar to Miss Snow Pea, buttercup is similar to Miss Butterscotch, and lily of the valley/calla lily is similar to Miss Lily. They’d all be married by the time we launched the flowers, but let us know if you think it’d cause any confusion.
With that in mind… please tell us your 9 picks (peony is #10)!

Tulip, Dahlia, Peony, Magnolia, Hydrangea, Sweet Pea, Daffodil, Cherry Blossom, Snapdragon
You already have a miss lily, I think, and doing any version of that (lily of valley, calla) might be a little much?
Why do you have a plumeria up there under jasmine?
Thanks. My choices are: Cherry Blossom, Snapdragon (because that is what I would want to be, lol) Gardenia, Magnolia, Calla Lilly, Daffodil (so bright and cheerful) Jasmine.
May I also suggest Ginger?

It’s so hard to choose! I like cherry blossom, buttercup, jasmine, dahlia, gardenia, lilac, tulip, magnolia, snapdragon
They’re all so pretty, I can’t wait to see the new icons! My choices are peony, cherry blossom, daffodil, gardenia, hydrangea, snap dragon, dahlia, lilac and tulip.
I like Peony, Cherry Blossom, Buttercup, Jasmine, Magnolia, Petunia, Tulip, Dahlia, and Lilac
my 9: Jasmine, Tulip, Dahlia, Lilac, Buttercup, Cherry Blossom, Daffodil, Snapdragon, Calla Lily
Here are my choices: cherry blossom, buttercup, jasmine, snapdragon, Dahlia, Lilac, Tulip, and Petunia…I’m missing one since I’m indifferent with Lily of the Valley and Hydrangea….I like Jen’s idea of including Ginger…really cute name =).
What happened to the “read more right here” button. I thought that was great!
Oops, I just saw the post about read more right here. Got it!
Miss Magnolia is a must, thanks to “Steel Magnolias”…
…and wouldn’t Miss Bluebonnet be sweet for a Texas bride?
I like: Peony, buttercup, jasmine, hydrangea, snapdragon, magnolia, zinnia, and tulip.
1) lilac (purple- cluster shape) [that's what i would want to be, so maybe you should save it for later and not pick it now, haha]
2) peony (pink-big, round shape)
3) cherry blossom (pink- maybe a branch w a few blooms) [that would be a popular flower]
4) dahlia (orange- round shape)
5) tulip (red- cup shape) [but could be any color to fill in]
6) jasmine (white- star shape)
7) daffodil (yellow- star shape)
magnolia (white- large, rounded petals) [makes me think of a southern bee]
9) snapdragon (red- cluster shape)
*the lilies might get confused, tho the shapes are very different from each other. and sweet pea is similar to miss snow pea.
*and maybe a set of birds in the future. that would provide lots of color options as well.
peony, cherry blossom, daffodil, tulip, dahlia, lilac, hydrangea, jasmine, magnolia, gardenia.
(gardenia would be perfect for a christmas bride!)
ooh! peony! my favorite!
okay, here’s my top choice: peony, cherry blossom, jasmine (love the smell!), dahlia, tulip, lilac, daffodil, hydrangea and… petunia! (that’s going to be a cute one)
Include at least:
dahlia
zinnia (if you use a less petal-y zinnia it won’t look as similar to the dahlia because they have teeny florets in the center: http://tinyurl.com/2pbt9u or http://tinyurl.com/36rmfy)
tulip
snapdragon
daffodil
hydrangea
cherry blossom
hard call on all the lilies…
peony, buttercup, Sakura (cherry blossom), jasmine and tulip.
how about stargazer, casa blanca and purple sensation (one of my favs!) ??
My pick are…
peony, cherry blossom, sweet pea, magnolia, petunia, lily of the valley, hydrangea, tulip and jasmine…
Happy Canada day everyone!
I like all of them, especially buttercup!
I feel that lily of the valley is too long of a name…
Here are my top 9:
1. Gardenia
2. Hydrangea
3. Magnolia
4. Snapdragon
5. Dahlia
6. Tulip
7. Sweet Pea
8. Petunia
9. Cherry Blossom
Cherry Blossom
Buttercup
Daffodil
Magnolia
Jasmine
Hydrangea
Calla Lily
Tulip
Lilac
No preference on the flowers but someone’s comment made me think, the next batch of bees could be spices - cinnamon, rosemary, sage, thyme, chili, etc.!
I like:
Peony, cherry blossom, buttercup (five petals, yellow), daffodil (six petals, and can be white & gold instead of solid yellow), jasmine, gardenia, magnolia (more of a purply-tinged rose color), dahlia, tulip (definitely bright red), petunia.
If you’re concerned about repeating colors, tulip can be bright red while dahlia is dark, almost burgundy; and lilacs can be, well, lilac, while the hyacinth can be darker or bluer.
Oooh… this was hard: Gardenia, Hydrangea, Magnolia, Buttercup, Dahlia, Tulip, Sweet Pea, Petunia, Cherry Blossom
I would arm wrestle someone for peony!
Peony, tulip, daffodil, cherry blossom, magnolia, jasmine, petunia, dahlia, snapdragon

I like:
Peony, Tulip, Cherry Blossom, Buttercup, Daffodil, Jasmine, Petunia, Magnolia, Sweet Pea, and Lily of the Valley
peony, lilac, dahlia, magnolia, sweet pea, jasmine, gardenia, and cherry blossom. =)
too many to make a list of favourites, but just a comment: you could call the bee Miss Calla, instead of Miss Calla Lily. I’ve certainly heard many people call the flowers “callas.”
I’d also lean towards using flowers that a popular in bridal arrangements. it just seems appropriate to me
I chose flowers that are frequently used in weddings: peony, cherry blossom, gardenia, hygrangea, lilac, tulip, lily of the valley, calla lily, dahlia
I have to say that Petunia will always say to me “Porky Pig’s girlfriend.” Sorry
Cherry Blossom, Tulip, Gardenia, Hydrangea, Petunia, Lilac, Magnolia, Dahlia, and Peony! What is the difference between Plumeria and Jasmine?
My thoughts:
Buttercup
Gardenia
Lily of the Valley
Magnolia
Dahlia
Hyacinth
Calla Lily
Sweet Pea
I was just thinking about popular wedding flowers…and I think Miss Ranauculus-sp. is very popular right now! For some reason I can’t find a picture worth including–weird!
Miss Mum (Chrysanthemum-sp.) - there are tons of varieties, otherwise they can end up looking like a dahlia. This is a spider mum, seen in a lot of weddings in a pretty green! http://tinyurl.com/38v8f9
Miss Gerbera - probably too close to Miss Daisy, but a popular flower none the less!
Miss Anemone–not the sea life. They have pretty dark centers that would make a bold statement. http://tinyurl.com/2wnndd
Miss Celosia - Also called cockscomb–ha ha, don’t know how a Miss Cockscomb would go over! http://tinyurl.com/2uexuu

Anyway, here are my picks:
Tulip
Cherry Blossom
Daffodil
Jasmine
Gardenia
Snapdragon
Magnolia
Dahlia
Petunia
Haha, I think I’m the only person who doesn’t go crazy for peonies. And you’re right, sweet pea, although a very cute name, sounds much too similar to snow pea and I would be confused. I’m sure the colors would be different but it’s still similar.
I also REALLY like Forget-me-not. Adorable name, no? =)
Cherry blossom
Daffodil
Gardenia
Lily of the Valley
Snapdragon
Dahlia
Lilac
Tulip
Petunia (just so there’s no confusion?)
My Pick will be:
1. Peony
2. cherry blossom
3. tulip
4. hydrangea
5. gardenia
6. dahlia
7. buttercup
8. cally Lily
9. jasmine
10. snapdragon
How about Freesia, carnation, lotus, Stephanotis, baby breath???
tulip, dahlia, jasmine, lilac, magnolia. hydrangea, snapdragon, daffodil, lily of the valley
I have to be a stickler but the picture that is being used for jasmine looks like it’s actually stephanotis. Jasmine isn’t that waxy and doesn’t flower the same way. Stephanotis is my favorite flower so I’d vote for it if it was one of the choices.
cherry blossom, daffodil, gardenia, hydrangea, tulip, snapdragon, calla lily, dahlia and lilac
Lilac!!
Then dahlia, daffodil, peony, snapdragon, cherry blossom, petunia, and gardenia.
