Planning Flowers for a Summer Wedding

Summers are perhaps the best time to get married, due to the numerous possibilities for decoration, open seating etc. that the warm weather offers you. No wedding is complete without its flower arrangements and the summer weddings are especially enjoyable because this is the season in which a plethora of flowers come into bloom and you can choose from a vibrant variety of such blooms. Summers are the natural blooming season for a majority of flower varieties and for a summer wedding, finding the right flowers is an easy and enjoyable task. One can choose from elaborate flower arrangements with thick, long stalks or small, slight and infinitely elegant blossoms.

Most ‘brides- to- be’ choose to decorate their wedding receptions using the traditional summer flowers such as irises, delphiniums and stocks that are known to be ever- popular. Delphiniums are extremely popular owing to their gorgeous blue colour, which combined with their ling stalks make them very useful in creating elaborate flower arrangements. Gladioli are also popular for the same reason.

Irises are often used along with Snapdragons, which are formally known as Antirrhinums, for summer weddings.

Stock flowers are one of the eternally favourite options when it comes to picking flowers for a summer wedding. The flowers come in shades of white and pink and also have a trademark perceptible fragrance. These flowers come into bloom during the end of spring months as well as the summers and owing to their enduring appeal, they continue to remain in style.

Roses are undoubtedly the most popular choice for flower arrangements for summer weddings. Roses have an eternal charm that never wanes, and their graceful beauty and distinctive scent add an ineffable aura to the wedding reception. Roses come out in full flourish during the summer season and are abundantly available at any florist, or even in one’s own home gardens. Roses can be purchased at any time of the year but the summer blooms are especially exquisite.

Calla Lilies are also extremely popular. They are shaped like funnel and come to flower from the spring to the summer season, lasting from the month of March to the month of June. The attraction of Calla Lilies lies in the wide range of colours they are available in be it shades of pure white, soft hues of pink, bright bursts of orange or even deep tones of magenta.

Choosing Blue Flowers for Your Wedding

Choosing blue flowers for decoration purposes at weddings has recently become an extremely popular trend. The colour blue has always been a universal favourite and the practice of incorporating it into flower arrangements for wedding decoration has become widespread in recent times. Using blue flowers at a wedding allows one to create a variety of emotions and moods, ranging from soft, subtle feelings to uniquely bold settings. If you use small, delicate blue flowers in cool hues, perhaps intermingled with some white blossoms, the effect of tranquillity and serenity will be created for sure. However, combining blue flowers with flowers in warmer shades like red or orange is an effective way of creating a bold yet tasteful setting.

The colour blue is often associated with emotions of rapture, ecstasy and elation, all of which are witnessed at a wedding as well. The colour helps to capture the high spirits of a wedding ceremony and displays it perfectly through the petals. Also, the colour is immediately associated with images of the seas and the skies, both expansive domains, thus becoming symbolic of concepts such as hope, growth, opportunities and the chance of an exciting life ahead.

There are a number of flowers that come in shades of blue. These include sweet peas, clematis, nigella thistles and cornflowers. Sadly, the universally favourite rose is not available in blue naturally. However, if you are determined to use roses in the flower arrangements at your wedding, an extremely attractive way of doing so would be to combine other flowers is tones of blue with white roses, so as to create a serene yet striking combination. Blue flowers come in a variety of shades, ranging from light, pale blue to indigo. Deeper shades should be offset with flowers in white or cream while lighter shades of blue can be complemented with blooms in brighter colours like pink.

Blue blossoms have also become very popular for bouquets, combined with white, peach and pink flowers, creating a one of a kind impression.

The symbolism associated with the colour makes it extremely appropriate to be used in wedding settings. It is a cool colour, describing strengths such as calmness, quietude, dignity and determination. The colour also signifies qualities such as loyalty, trust and faith which are fundamental in building interpersonal bonds. Thus, the blue blossom is a tribute to the bride and the groom.
