Purple has become the new black for the season this year. Everything is being designed and shipped to stores in all shades from the lightest to darkest purple colors. When planning your wedding take advantage of this and use purple wedding flowers in your own bouquet and as arrangements for the reception. Purple will give off a calm and relaxing environment to your guests.
Purple carries many meanings. In the earlier days only Nobles would wear a royal purple to stand out from the lower classes. It also has deep spiritual meaning as it is used in meditation techniques as well as to preserve a peace of mind and serene effect when worn or painted in a room.
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.
Using purple within your flower arrangements and wedding decorations is easier due to their ability to blend in with other color combination’s because of there considerable amounts of shades they are available in.
For elegant bridal bouquets and reception arrangements go for blends of lilacs in darker purple colors and surround and mix in colors such as green and maroon, as a little wisteria around the edges to give off a more vibrant effect as well.
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.
For Autumnal weddings then of course you want to use shades that remind you of the fall season. Dark rich reds, oranges, browns, yellows, greens and purples. The palette is one that blends with any of these flower choices. Place the darker green leaves around edged for the perfect looking border to your bouquet’s.
For a true winter wonderland Christmas wedding use arrangements and bouquets in more trendy colors of the season such as golds, silvers and dark and light purples. You have to add in some glitz and shimmer too or it would not be the holiday season. You can even put holly berries and leaves within arrangements mixed with darker more jewel toned purples and some silver branches for even more holiday spirit.
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.
Buy some smaller glass bowls and floating flower candles in a mixture of colors you are using in your bouquets and arrangements. Put the flowers together using water gel that sets and keeps flowers in place and place the beads around the bowl. You want to make these arrangements short not tall. Then fill smaller bowls with water, sprinkle in some fresh flower petals and light the floating candles probably 3-4 to a bowl.
