White Flowers For Winter Weddings




Your church would probably be happy to keep the white poinsettias as part of their Christmas decorations, and the ones from the reception can be delivered to a nursing home or hospital to bring a bit of holiday cheer to the residents. A really nice thing about using potted flowers is that you can donate them after the wedding. Potted white poinsettias will give you a lot more bang for the buck than arrangements of cut flowers, especially because each blossom is so huge. For a Christmas wedding, creamy white poinsettias would be perfect flowers for the altar, the entrance to the reception, and on buffet tables.

The tropical blossoms tend to be showy and dramatic; in other words, absolutely divine for a wedding! The funny thing about winter flowers is that many of the most classic blossoms are actually tropical. Whether you are planning a Winter Wonderland theme wedding, or a more classic all-white celebration, it will be made gorgeous by using these white flowers for winter weddings. When you are a bride, it makes perfect sense to use white flowers at any time of the year, and this is also true in the winter months. Winter white is always so elegant and stylish.

Wedding Bouquet Arrangements




It is bunched up with other flowers, usually in pastel or white colors, and with very minimal space for leaves. Typically a round, small size bouquet, nosegay style these days is much bigger in size than the old designs. If the bride is after the traditional look when it comes to wedding bouquet, then a nosegay flower arrangement is the best choice.

Maybe it's possible not to have lots of flowers in a wedding, but a bride's look will never be complete without a wedding bouquet. More so, what is a wedding without flowers? What is it with flowers that any occasion cannot be complete without them? In fact, there are couples who spend a fortune on flowers - from the church to the wedding reception.

Flowers are always a must-have in weddings. But, what is a wedding without the trimmings? Of course, number one on the list would be the wedding gown and the suit, followed by the wedding rings, the entourages' attire, the church, the wedding reception, food, cake, wedding favors, guest list, entertainment, and so on. When couples plan their weddings, they make a whole of list of things that need to be prepared prior to the big day.

Wedding Orchids




Orchids can be arranged around the wedding cake or between the sugar decorations to add a special effect. Wedding cakes are usually multi-layered and decorated with sugar creations. These flower arrangements only include the blooms.

Orchids sometimes also decorate the plate for the wedding cake, or the cake itself. For many years after the wedding, the blooming orchids can remind family and friends of the special day. I would suggest including care instructions so that the recipients know how to take care of the orchids correctly. Potted orchids can also make great gifts to be given at the rehearsal dinner.

Guest will love to take them home and enjoy their beauty for many days after the festivities. That makes them ideal as wedding reception table center pieces. The blooms of many types of orchids last for a long time, even as cut flowers. Orchids again are a great choice, not only because of their beauty. Tables at the reception are often decorated with flower center pieces.

Beach Wedding Flowers




This is a lovely way to give pale colored flowers a beach feeling, if you are not Pale pink roses with small spiral seashells wired in amongst them would be a beautiful bouquet design for a beach wedding. More traditional bridal flowers like roses can be give a beachy style with the addition of special accents. They are particularly pleasing for cascade bouquets. Lilies and birds of paradise are other flowers with a tropical appeal.

Exotic orchids come in a truly remarkable array of colors, including vivid purples, hot pinks, oranges, and yellows, all of which could make marvelous additions to a beach wedding bouquet. Nothing feels more tropical than a big bunch of fuchsia hibiscus tied with an organza ribbon. Bright colors are ideal for beach wedding flowers. It is definitely nice to bring in elements with local flavor as well, whether it is shells, sand, coral, or tropical flowers.

Think bouquets with a handtied appearance rather than tight nosegays and centerpieces with some movement instead of perfectly symmetrical displays. Loose arrangements will fit the scene better than anything very sculpted or precise. The attitude at the beach is always a bit more laid back, so your centerpieces and bouquets should reflect that. These are some great ideas for beach wedding flowers for bouquets and centerpieces.

The typical wedding flowers are not quite right for this distinctive setting; something special is called for. There is nothing quite like having a wedding by the ocean with the sun and the sand all around you. Beach weddings are always so beautiful.
