Flowers: What Color Could Be More Memorable Than Purple Wedding Flowers
This year the “hot” color everyone is talking about is every shade of purple. Handbags, clothing, jewelry and more are being designed in shades from pale lilac to deep purple. Weddings are no different. If you are planning your wedding this year then you should incorporate purple wedding flowers into it for a fresh and trendy vibe.
Many Kings and Queens in olden times wore dark purple or royal purple as we call it now to show their nobility to the lower class of folks in their countries and villages. Purple still gives off the heir of nobility as well as that of higher standing but it also has a more spiritual side to it as well. Lighter purple colors give off a relaxation and calming vibe. This is why many people use this color within their studies or bedrooms.
Some of the most beautiful purple flowers to use in your wedding include: aster, sweet pea, lilac, lily, iris, pansy, gladiolas and cone flowers. These come in hues from lavender to deep jewel tones.
Decorating with schemes of purple within your bouquet’s or floral arrangements adds a sense of elegance to any wedding day. These colors are very easy to combine with other rich and vibrant hues due to the vast array of shades and textures they are found in.
If your having an evening wedding or more formal one then try to use gladiolas or cone flowers in richer dark purples and then blend with deep reds and border with deep green leaves. To add a little romance you can add in sprigs of wisteria or baby’s breath for even more elegance.
When you are planning for a spring or summer wedding then make bouquets with a mix of springtime colors such as lavender, pale pinks and bright or deep yellows. You could use sunflowers and sweet peas mixed with lupines for an absolutely stunning bridal bouquet every one will take notice of.
If you are planning a fall wedding then your bouquets and arrangements should consist of deeper earth tones of deep golden yellows, deep oranges, and deep purples and bordered with dark green leaves like hostas for added depth. These will be the most beautiful fall flowers and arrangements your guests have seen.
Having a Christmas wedding is always frustrating to try and come up with seasonal colors but not the same old red and green. Have no fear you can use glittering gold accents intertwined with blooms of rich purple for holiday cheer or use deeper purple flowers and mix with twinkling silver accents. Your holiday wedding will be bright ad joyful.
if you are on a budget that does not mean you have to skimp when it comes to your bouquets or reception table decorations. A great low budget way is to do the bouquets yourself. It is easy. Go to the craft store in your area and buy the best looking fake flowers in the color schemes you want and get whatever bouquet holders or vases you need and use clear floral gel to place them in the vases and floral foam for the bouquets then add ribbons etc. It is that simple.
For added ambiance place small candles in shimmering colors along tables for the reception or add floating candles to champagne glasses for a touch of romance. You can even sprinkle purple wedding flower petals on tabletops for a true romantic feel.
