When I meet with a bride, the first thing I like to figure out is their style. Brides either like clean designs that are 1 to 3 substantial blooms or they prefer designs that are loose, airy, and wispy.  Clean designs are created by massing usually just one type of flower together. Girls who like things wispy and airy like filler flowers.  When I begin a discussion about "filler flower's" brides often do not know what I am talking about, then I mention baby's breath and everyone knows what baby's breath is.  Baby's breath was the original filler flower. This filler was so over used that everyone turned away from it  in search of other varieties of fillers. With the vintage garden look being so popular today you will see a huge return to baby's breath.

 

Wax Flower- this is available in pink, purple, and white.

 

Berries are a huge filler used today. Hypericum berries are the most popular one at this time.

 

Viburnum berry- is  an awesome dark purple blue berry.
 
  

 

This is Scotch broom, it is available in pink, yellow and white.

 

This is Limonium we use this filler for weddings that are using purple or lavender tones.

 

Feverfew, I love this dainty little white blossom.

 

The dark pink flower in the front of this picture is a fun hot pink branch called Leptospermum.

 

This shows pink cottage yarrow in the background and white wax flowers.  Yarrow is commonly seen in bright yellow, but it comes in different shades of pink and white as well.

 

This is Jasmine vine and it is available in this white tone or pink. 

It is the use of filler flowers that give designs a more natural, less stark and contemporary feel.

    Do you know of any filler flowers that come in orange or peach? I’m helping out a lady doing a Peach and Gold themed wedding.

      I would try for orange wax flower or orange butterfly bush. There are not peach fillers so I would use white calcynia heather.
