Wedding Flowers Color Guide
The colors from the previous floral collections are plotted on the color pallet below as a guide. To begin, identify what colors will be used in your wedding. The bouquet helps set the tone for all of the floral arrangements used in the wedding. Establishing a signature color palette for your flowers can help you select the perfect bouquet style or floral accents.
First, decide if you want neighboring colors, opposite colors, or a single color. Neighboring colors are colors that are next to each other on a color wheel. Opposite colors are opposite of one another on the color wheel. A single color can be used in the arrangement, but you can also pair it with white colored flowers to achieve the general look
Types of Bouquets
So, what style of bouquet do you want, or have you given it any thought? More importantly, do you even know what style types are available? Well, let’s explore some popular options.
Pageant Bouquet / Presentation Bouquet
This bouquet style features longer stems and is usually carried on the arm rather than held by the hand.
Hand-Tied Bouquets
Hand-tied bouquets are trendy bouquets usually tied using ribbons or twine. The stems are typically exposed, giving this bouquet a fresh picked from the garden feel.
Cascading Bouquets
Cascading bridal bouquets feature floral and greenery that cascade downward, spilling forward to give a stunning effect.
Round Bouquets
Round bridal bouquets are simple and classic. These bouquets generally feature one type of flower or different florals in the same color arranged in a dome or sphere and the stems tightly wrapped with ribbon.
Posy Bouquets
Posy bouquets are a miniaturized version of the round bridal bouquet. This bridal bouquet is usually designed to be held by one hand, whereas the round bouquets are larger, thereby needing two hands to hold it. This bouquet is ideal for the bridal party.
Nosegay Bouquets
Nosegay bouquets are small hand-tied bouquets that feature more greenery mixed with fewer florals. This type of bouquet is similar to the posy bouquet as it also is designed to be held by one hand.
Single-Stem Bouquets
A single-stem bridal bouquet is just what it sounds like. It features one flower held by the bride or bridal party instead of a traditional bouquet arrangement.
Using these resources can help you take the first steps toward creating the floral look you want for your wedding.
