Weddings | To Decorate

 

Selecting a color scheme for the wedding usually begins with the flowers – this focal point provides direction for the rest of the décor, resulting in a stylish, purposeful look that unifies the setting. To maintain a sense of balance, most brides match their wedding floral centerpieces for the tables to their bouquet and the flowers worn by members of the wedding party. Flowers are often chosen based on the season in which the ceremony will be held. As brides desire their flowers to be as fresh as possible, they often select blooms that come into season at the time of the ceremony.

 

A wedding held in the spring is perfect for showcasing an array of colorful blossoms. Spring wedding flowers should be bright and cheerful in shades of pink and purple, including tulips, cherry blossoms, peonies, or lilac. The most popular time of the year for weddings, summer, signals the arrival of several varieties that emphasize the brilliant yellow of the shining sun. These summer wedding flowers include species such as yellow gerbera daisies or spider chrysanthemums.

 

Fall wedding flowers are chosen to accentuate the warm, vibrant colors of the changing leaves – rust, gold, and burgundy. These bouquets feature flowers such as Asiatic lilies, chrysanthemums, or sunflowers. You can make a further connection with nature by including leaves or other autumn foliage along with the flowers in your decorations. Finally, winter wedding flowers tend to be shades of white, like gardenia or jasmine, accentuated with pops of red or silver. These centerpieces can include mistletoe, pinecones, or holly berries to enhance the wintery feel. Consulting a knowledgeable florist ensures your flowers will be the highlight of your decorations.
