Seasonal wedding flowers
The flowers that you choose for your
wedding day are very important. There are lots of
different things to consider, including color
combination, type or variety, scent, shape, and visual
representation.
Usually the first thought is the color of the flowers
that you will choose for your wedding. Of course they
have to tone in with everything else involved within
your special day. The flowers that you choose should
tone in with the brides wedding dress, the grooms
outfit, the wedding favors and also the theme of the
entire day.
There are certain colors of flowers that are traditional
throughout the year. These are steeped in tradition, but
are by no means a strict guideline on the sort of
flowers that you and your intended should select.
Flower colors are traditionally grouped into either
seasons or actual color groups on the visual palette.
Here are some rough guidelines to help you to make the
decision about flowers on your special day:
Wedding flower seasonal symbolism
Winter:
Winter flowers are usually "colder" in color. Frosty
tones of cream or white are the traditional choices;
from ivory to pale coffee cream. Other wintery themed
colors include silvery grays, and icicle blues. Winter
flower posies are often tied with ribbon and are fairly
hard wearing blooms - they are growing in the cold ...
Autumn:
Autumn flowers are beginning to get warmer, in keeping
with the season. As you see the leaves on the tree
turning and changing color you can use the inspiration
that they bring. Traditional autumn colors are those
such as warming burgundies, claret reds, coppers, olive
greens, and dark pinks.
Spring:
Spring flowers are cooler again, but not as cool as the
winter palette. Spring colors are fresh and vivid and
bright. They include cool colors in hues of baby pink,
rich double cream, soft lilac, pale sky blue, minty
green, and soft silver tones. Spring flowers are usually
delicate and can benefit from mixing and matching the
types that you choose.
Summer:
Summer flowers are the hottest of the bunch. In the
summer everything is brighter and far more vivid. Hot
summer colors are just that; hot and strong.
Traditionally the flower colors of summer include balmy
mid-purples, rich peaches, ice whites, baby yellows and
pale blues. But they can also include deep majentas,
scarlet, vivid yellows and fuscia. Summer flowers don't
last as long as the other seasons because of the heat.
Be careful that they don't wilt in the summer sun.
