Using Blue Wedding Flowers in Your Wedding Bouquets, Centerpieces and Flower Arrangements

1 comment   

For most modern couples, the use of blue flowers and decorations in their weddings symbolizes unity and grandeur. Also the color blue adds class and elegance to any kinds of weddings, be it a formal wedding or a casual one. And there are plenty of shades to choose from with this color, just be careful in choosing the shades you want to include in your blue wedding decor because the hues might clash with each other.

Blue wedding flowers have a striking appeal if combined with other colors, however these flowers are not meant to be the main theme of your wedding flowers. Dark blue wedding flowers like navy blue wedding flowers go well with purple wedding flowers, because the color purple can add richness to the cool blue flowers. A prime example would be Delphinium flowers with purple ivy and ferns.

Flowers are very delicate to arrange, but with a perfect color combination, you'll get wonderful bouquets and flower arrangements. If you want roses, you can either have white roses dyed blue or mix white roses with blue flowers instead. Blue and white wedding flowers can really make a striking combination.

To add a dramatic splendor to your reception, blue and yellow flowers would be a great combination to use. The yellow flowers will lighten the color of your blue flowers. With yellow flowers as accents, you can embellish your decorations with gold ribbons and still won't look odd. You can use iris in blue and yellow as decorations in your reception, perfect as table centerpieces.

Royal blue is another gorgeous color to highlight your wedding. These flowers offer a sophisticated look when combine with pretty pink flowers. Also, light blue flowers go well with pink flowers. This combination is perfect for wedding bouquets and centerpieces as well. Green wedding flowers in olive green and lemon green also look good when paired up with blue flowers.

Also, if you're wedding colors are blue, and you're going to wear a blue bridal dress (or have your bridesmaids wear blue), your blue wedding flowers cannot be seen in your wedding photos. So it is advisable to combine your blue flowers with flowers in different colors to make it stand out among the other blue wedding decorations. Blue flowers are not advisable to use if your wedding will happen during night time; use light colors instead.

These wedding ideas will make your wedding planning a bit easier when you want nice floral arrangements for your wedding. Though arranging blue wedding flowers is somewhat difficult, it is very versatile that you can combine it with decorations in any color and have a remarkable effect that can only be achieved with unique choices. Finding the perfect match for your floral choices is like finding your groom; a bit tough but it's really worth it.

Orange blossoms, sunflowers, roses and dahlias; violets and lilies; orchids and tulips: all flowers are beautiful. They are also a symbol of love. And an inevitable part of all wedding ceremonies. So inevitable, that many couples go crazy when having to choose the flower decoration for their wedding party. Wedding flower decoration is vital for this red-letter day in everyone's life. Flower designs can be different and can translate various meanings to the guests of the wedding party. Many things can be concluded about the bride and bridegroom's future marriage, depending on the choice of their wedding flower decorations. If your wedding ceremony is getting closer, perhaps it is time to choose your flower decoration that will make the celebration unforgettable.

Wedding flower decoration can be of various kinds. You can choose a large arch of flowers or a centre-piece, or both- everything is suitable depending on your taste. Use your own creative imagination and choose the best flower decoration for the great event. It is important that you decide on flower arrangement that suits your wedding settings. Choose a color combination that appeals to you and is in harmony with the entire setting. The flower decoration can consist of seasonal and local flowers. You should as specifically as possible decide on the size, shape and color for the different flower arrangements. You may easily get some piece of advice from a magazine: there are large varieties of all kinds of flowers. Silk flowers and dried flowers can be an opportunity, too. Remember: your wedding flower decoration is meant to express you and your personal style, but comply also with your loved one's taste. Additional factors should influence your choice: the season, the time of day for the party, the location atmosphere and so on.

Color blocking is called the procedure of choosing a specific color or combination of several colors and using it as the leading nuance when you create all your wedding settings. For example, you may choose the classical white, and put white orchids on the white tablecloths, and prepare your wedding bouquet with white being the predominant color.

There are several types of flower arrangements that are used during the ceremony.

BOUQUETS. They are flower decorations for the bride. A wedding bouquet must be carefully chosen depending on the personal characteristics of the woman. Its color must stress on her individuality, and its shape must emphasize on her body silhouette, giving her the best possible looks. There are many different wedding bouquets, and their design depends on the bride's skin tone, body proportion, facial appearance and attire.

BOUTONNIERES. These flower decorations are worn by the groom and his attendance, also by the ushers, and the bride's and groom's fathers. They are made of small flower buds attached on the left lapel of the jacket.

CORSAGES. They can be worn in pin-on, wrists and hand-held styles. As a flower decoration they combine a small bloom or several blooms tied together.

WREATHS. This is a splendid flower decoration that has a round shape. The rings of flowers are used as centerpieces, headpieces or door hangers.

CANDELABRA. They are made of flowing greens in the shape of ribbons. They are put at the base, neck or top of multi-armed candelabra.

Bila duduk diam-diam teringat waktu kerja hari tu, bila datang budak baru. Konon-konon kita ni dah super seniorlah dah kerja lebih 3 minggu. Diorang tanya,

"Dekat sini bila jaga kaunter macamana ek?"

Lantas terus jawab, "Kena protective, dan jangan percaya dengan sesiapa, walaupun Noraniza Idris atau Robert Pattinson tanpa baju"

"Habis tu nak percaya siapa? Kau percaya aku tak"

Dengan riak muka paling serious terus jawab,

"Tak, aku hanya percaya kepada diri sendiri dan Milan Fashion week"

Glam gila aku. Thanks.
