Flower Crush: Stock

Flower Crush: Stock

White stock flower bridesmaid bouquet

If your floral arrangement was freshly-made bed, stock would be the warm, fluffy down comforter.

Because if we didn’t have corny analogies, we wouldn’t appreciate the good ones quite as much, right? Right, but seriously. Stock really is the fluffy insulation that keeps the rest of your floral arrangement comfortable, fully covered, and all tucked in at night (or during the day, or say… at a wedding sitting on a table, for instance).

If you’re feeling confused, stock is a flower. Really, there’s a flower *called stock*. Not at all like stock photos… And much better than those, too.

Soft, laterally-clustered blooms on a long, hearty stem look that look and smell like (slightly cinnamon-scented!) buttercream frosting squeezed out with the leaf icing tip from the arsenal of a pastry chef. This flower really has a decadence that packs a serious punch in terms of looking like a premium-class flower without really having a premium price.

As if it couldn’t get any better, stock is grown in an array of colors ranging from bright, crisp white (possibly one of the whitest whites available in cut flowers), to the most perfect butter yellow cream, peach, a pretty soft-washed cotton candy pink, deep fuchsia, lavender and even purple. That means added coverage and in the perfect color no matter what your design scheme is! Or the colors of your bedroom, for that matter.

Stock Facts:

Season: Available year-round

Colors: Bright white, creamy/yellow, peach, light pink, medium pink, fuchsia, lavender, and purple

When to Use: Anywhere and everywhere in classic, traditional, or garden styles. Stock is fair game in just about any style of arrangement, but inclusion in minimalist tropical arrangements and the like may be committing a floral foul.

There’s scarcely a wedding of ours where you WON’T see us using stock, so for more stock sumptuousness, check out our Pinterest board!

We are back at Woodend this coming week, and it has us reminiscing about Amanda and Jack’s whimsical, wonderful, William Morris-inspired dream of a wedding with an Art Nouveau twist. The wedding layered bohemian textures, vintage details, woodland creatures and, of course, romantic blooms into a palette that felt both grounded and poetic. Think climbing vines, golden light, and flowers that felt like they had stepped out of an heirloom wallpaper print - in the best way. We’re still swooning. 💫

A rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.
