My aunt said to never use baby's breath in a wedding bouquet

She told me it looked cheap and dated, but I put some in a simple arrangement for a June wedding and the bride loved it. Now I'm thinking maybe some old rules are just personal taste, not real advice. Do you still avoid certain flowers because of what you were told?

Read somewhere that carnations got a bad rap too, but they look great in the right setting.

My grandma always had a huge jar of pink carnations on her kitchen table. They were cheap at the grocery store, so she bought them every week. People call them cheap or funeral flowers, but a tight bunch of just white ones in a simple glass vase looks clean and classic. It's all about taking them out of that plastic sleeve and giving them a proper home. What's a flower you think gets too much hate?

What outdated flower advice are you secretly ignoring now?
