Wedding flowers are essential to the look and feel of any ceremony and reception. If you have a beach themed wedding, you may be unfamiliar with typical types of flowers used. You may also be wondering what arrangements will suit your specific theme and style. This article will provide some tips on choosing flowers for three different types of beach weddings.
Beach weddings in the spring or early summer are often planned to have a softer feel. Brides want pastel colors and pale sand to decorate their event. Pairing light blue or pink flowers with white sea shells will give the soft look your going for. Some excellent flowers to choose from are lilies, peonies, tulips, and roses. Add sand to your centerpiece arrangements to tie in your look.
Are you having a destination wedding? Odds are, you’ll want to go tropical with your flowers. This will mean bright and bold colors with exotic types of flowers. Tropical orchids and hibiscus will be a good choice in tropical areas. They can stand up to heat and humidity to prevent your arrangements from looking deflated. You can throw in some traditional Hawaiian flowers and pieces of palm to pull your look together. Bright reds, oranges, purples, and pinks will make the biggest impact.
Nautical beach wedding flowers will be a completely different style than other typical beach themes. Flowers will be much more low key and arrangements will have a natural and organic look. Try to stick with darker reds, blues, and shades of white. This can be easily done with hydrangeas, peonies, and roses. You can also add touches of green grass in centerpieces. Creating swoops of long green grass inside glass vases gives a modern and beautiful look to your tables. You can add in sail boat, rope knot, lighthouse, and lantern embellishments.
