Weddings & events in Delhi: choosing flowers around the November peak

Weddings & events in Delhi follow north India's wedding season, which opens after Dev Uthani Ekadashi in November and runs through winter. November is the busiest month, with a pause in mid-December for kharmas before dates resume in January and February. The date you choose decides what gets ordered: a bouquet for the bride herself, a gift guests send to the newlyweds' home, or flowers arranged for the reception hall.

A bride's bouquet for a date between November and February

The bride's own bouquet has its own subsection, and anyone wanting more choice, for a bridesmaid or a sister, can look through wedding bouquets instead.

By flower, the Duo of Peony Roses and Peonies pairs real peonies with peony-shaped roses, which are more often English varieties bred by David Austin. Where a bride wants no peonies at all, a wedding bouquet built around protea offers similar weight with a sculptural edge instead.

Delhi florists work from a photo of the bouquet you like and send back a photo of the finished arrangement, with its price, before you pay. That photo goes out again just before the courier leaves, so any change you ask for is made before dispatch, and a substitution close in shade to the original is visible in the same picture.

What guests send to the newlyweds' home

51 Jumilia in Airy Wrapping is built to outlast the wedding week itself. Each bloom opens to about seven centimetres across, white where the petals meet the stem and pink at their edges. Flowers this size stay fresh in water for close to two weeks.

A lily basket woven from wicker skips the vase too: its stems sit in wet foam inside the basket. The foam needs water poured over its whole surface every day, and the basket should never be tipped to one side. Once a lily opens, the florist removes its anthers, since the pollen stains fabric on contact.

White is not the obvious choice for this kind of gift: in India, white flowers, and white garlands especially, are associated with mourning, so a wrap kept entirely white is worth a second thought. Wrapping in red, maroon, gold, yellow or green reads as festive instead, and the gift is offered with both hands, or with the right hand on its own. Anyone who wants peonies on their own, outside the Duo, can order them separately as a peonies gift for the couple.

Wedding flower delivery in Delhi around the November peak

Orders for a set date and time are taken in any zone, and booking early matters most around the November peak and for the January dates after kharmas, when easy slots go first.

For the reception itself, the delivery time is agreed directly with the venue, timed to arrive for the toast, the dessert course or the couple's entrance on stage, rather than at a fixed hour. A bouquet for the bride and a basket for the hall can travel in a single order, though delivery is charged for each address separately.

Zone rates and the free central area are on delivery zones, and the details for hotel guests and orders from abroad sit on the same page.

For the bride's own date, start with the full choice in the Wedding range; for flowers that need no vase at the venue, flower baskets hold their own shape beside a stage or a gift table.
