 Although you and your groom are the undoubtedly star of the show, your flowers are also going to be centre stage at your wedding and should be absolutely fantastic and the perfect reflection of the both of you.  The colour theme you choose for your flowers will help set the tone for your entire day.  Here’s how to get it right!

Vibrant, colourful flowers can have a huge impact on your wedding and will not only compliment your bridal gown, bridesmaid’s dresses and décor, but also transform the atmosphere of your entire wedding day.  Whether you want to walk down the aisle clutching a colourful handtied bouquet of mango and yellow calla lilies or a posy of lusciously deep red black baccara roses, it’s vital that you choose colours that will suit the style of your day.

If you have dark skin or hair, rich red and plum tones will look great with your colouring, so why not incorporate flowers such as burgundy roses, or deep plum anemones or calla lilies.  If you have light hair or fair skin, chose softer colours such as pastel pink peonies or cream lisianthus to really make sure that you shine.

Innocent and elegant, there’s a gorgeous white flower that will suit every brides fancy.  Beautiful white flowers have been the most popular bridal choice for decades and continue to be chosen to this very day.  It’s easy to understand why, symbolizing purity, most women today simply love the idea of carrying the classic white blooms.  There are stunning white flowers available in every season each of which are very adaptable to the style of your wedding, from a lavish affair, to a smaller more intimate gathering or a wedding with a contemporary twist – white flowers have a timeless element to them and never look out of place.  Whether you’ve selected a classic round arrangement with white or cream roses, a modern display of white calla lilies placed simply in a vase, or a grouping of white hydrangea – the beauty of white flowers is that they have maximum impact, meaning you can achieve stunning results what ever your budget.

Delicate pastel pinks can soften any spring day, whether it is with the use of cotton candy coloured hyacinths, or lusciously full Esperance roses.  There is a rainbow of sweet pink hues that will spell passion for any wedding day.  You can make an eclectic statement with the artistic use of green celosia, pale green roses and deeper green cymbidium orchids giving your arrangements a modern edge.  Using shades of one colour adds depth and character and gives the feeling of layers to each piece.

Bolder blooms such as flowers in stunning shades of coral, orange and yellow are sure to be remembered.  Using flowers such as the Marianna roses, craspedia and Oncidium orchids, are sure to bring that extra burst of sunshine to your summer wedding.

If you’re feeling a little confused with all of the selections available for today’s bride, let the market guide your selections and let nature help you to make your choices for you.  Remember that choosing seasonal flowers not only ensures that you are getting the flowers in their optimal condition, but it’s also a way to maximize your budget and stretch that wedding dollar a bit further.

Another great way to help decide what colour scheme to select is to look at your venue for inspiration.  Choose colours that will compliment your surroundings.  For wood paneled rooms, use warm tones of rich reds, burnt oranges or deep purples with gold highlights.  For lighter spaces, choose a paler palette of pretty pastels, cool whites or rich creams with silver or gold accents.  Selecting a Florist with knowledge and familiarity of your venue will help to ensure that the choices that you’ve made for colour are going to coordinate throughout your entire day.
