The floral arrangements you choose for your wedding ceremony
and reception are likely to be the most important accessories of the
events. Know that before you select
individual blooms, what most people notice first is COLOR - then they notice
arrangements and individual flowers. So
before you consult with a florist on the details, decide on what colors you
want for your wedding. Here are some
color considerations.
1. Look at the
locations for your ceremony and reception.
What colors are on the walls? Do
you want to contrast or blend? What are
the rules and regulations from your church or ceremony site? Do they specify size and/or placement? What kind of lighting is available? If there are lots of windows and you are planning
a daytime ceremony, pale colors may wash out.
In dimly lit evening weddings, try to use warm colors like red, orange
and yellow. Warm colors are said to
reflect light better, while cool colors like blue, purple and green tend to
recede into darkness.
2. What effect do you want to create? If
you want drama, color theorists tell us to use contrasting hues like red and
chartreuse green. If you want a more
subtle and sophisticated atmosphere, experts say to consider sequential colors
(those are the ones next to each other in the color spectrum). Or you can choose a one color palette, but
then pick flowers with different sizes and textures so that the result is not a
flat one dimensional thing. If you don't
have a clue where to start, go to a hardware store and look at paint
samples. Collect samples of colors that
you like.
3. Consider the style
of your wedding when selecting blooms.
If you are planning a casual country event, you will want to bypass
formal elegant orchids. If you are planning
a formal black tie event, you will want something other than daisies and
sunflowers.
