I plan on having an early
August wedding. I want it to be blue and white...any ideas
about flowers?
Many lovely flowers will go with a blue and white color
combination. Your florist should have books of bouquets
that you can look through to get ideas. You can keep your
colors light or you might choose to use brighter
contrasting shades. Brighter colors will look
particularly nice in your photos. When choosing bouquets,
you will want to consider your height and the height of
your attendants and keep the flowers proportional. If your
wedding is outdoors or is semi-formal, a bouquet of mixed
flowers and mixed colors always looks fresh and bright.
If you like roses, you might
consider using them in shades of white, pink, lavender, or
red. For a less formal look, daisies come in several
colors, including white, pink, lavender, and yellow. If
you like purple, you might consider lisianthus,
delphinium, or larkspur. Stargazer lilies can be obtained
in pink and in white. Calla lilies now come in pink, as
well as white and yellow. One of the most popular
combinations last year was periwinkle blue gowns with
hydrangeas in shades varying from blue to lavender to
mauve.
Visit with a couple of
florists before making a decision and look through their
books. It takes time to determine exactly what you like
and what style best fits your personality.
