Wedding Flowers – Ideas For The Perfect Finishing Touch!

Flowers are symbols of love and life, and bring a sense of elegance and transcendence to a wedding ceremony and reception. Of course, you can also get creative and express your unique sense of style with your wedding flowers. Ideas are as varied and numerous as brides - you can match or accent your bridal party colors with a unifying color, or create a splash by adding color to an otherwise all black and white wedding, to mention two.

 

Here are some more ideas to get you started in thinking creatively and help you plan a wedding you and your lucky guests will remember fondly for years to come:

COLOR: Use it, play with it, get creative! Consider using various shades of the same hue – from light to deep pink, for instance – as an elegant way to add color to your wedding day. Alternatively, go with all one color for a dramatic, monochromatic effect – try all cream or all white. GREENERY: Beautiful greenery such as leaves and ferns can add depth and elegance to your arrangements, as well as possibly saving you money on flowers. Florists have access to many wonderful varieties of greenery and the creative possibilities are endless. From variegated ivy to delicate ferns to green, glossy leaves, you can create almost any mood you like by incorporating beautiful greenery. This is also useful for creating cascading effects at the end of church pews of from candelabras, bouquets, etc..  ACCESSORIES: Add a unique decorative touch to your wedding flowers with accessories. For instance, have your florist incorporate ribbons, strings of (fake) pearls, feathers or an element of sparkle to your arrangements. In this way you can express your own unique sense of style as well as make use of colors and effects not available with just flowers and greenery. CANDLES: From stunning candelabras to creative table centerpieces, candles add romance and soft lighting to wedding flower arrangements. You can make a statement with large pillar candles or many tiny tealights...the possibilities are endless! BONUS INSIDER TIP: Ensure your florist removes any pollen or other bits from flowers, which could fall onto your dresses or outfits and create unsightly stains. This surprise is especially common with lilies - be prepared and stay clean and fresh all day!
