Creating Impact with Wedding Flowers

Few things add as much impact to a wedding as beautiful flowers. Whether you opt to work with a florist or create your own arrangements, you’ll want to put some time and careful thought into choosing your wedding flowers.

Some of the Most Popular Wedding Flowers:

Roses – An old classic that says sophistication and elegance. If your wedding will be traditional then roses are an excellent choice. Available in an impressive array of colors you’ll have no problem finding one that complements the colors you’ve chosen for your wedding.

Lilies – Another classic flower. If you’ll be using lilies consider removing the stamen to avoid causing guests with allergies to have a reaction.

Orchids – For couples who want to add a bit of the exotic, orchids are the perfect choice. Their unique shape and vibrant colors are unmistakable and a little can go a long way.

Tulips – These simple but stunning flowers are perfect for more casual weddings. If you opt to use tulips you’ll need very little in the way of greenery or other fillers. They look best all on their own.

Tips for Choosing Wedding Flowers:

  1. If price is a concern be sure to choose flowers that are in season. They’ll be more readily available and therefore will cost less. Chances are they’ll look better as well because they’ll be fresh.
     
  2. Don’t be afraid of color. Although all white flowers is classical, you don’t have to make the safe choice when it comes to your wedding flowers. Consider using bold colors that make a statement. Fuchsia gerbera daisies or bright yellow orchids can provide a lot of drama.
     
  3. Find examples of what you’re looking for in magazines and books. If you’re like most brides, you’re not familiar with the different types of flowers and greenery that are available. Browse books and magazines for arrangements that you like the look of and then talk to a florist about what elements were used to make up the arrangement.
     
  4. Don’t be afraid to mix and match. You’ll most likely use flowers in your wedding for bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, ceremony decorations and table centerpieces. That can be a lot of one kind of flower. Look for complementary types to add variety.
     
  5. Be creative with fillers. A beautiful way to create a flower arrangement with impact is to include non-flower items as fillers. If you’re having a fall wedding consider adding apples or pears to your arrangements. These small touches can take your wedding flowers from beautiful to outstanding.
