Planning an Orchid Themed Wedding
Orchids are a beautiful flower that are delightful to look at and great for decoration. The couple planning to marry may want to consider this lovely flower and plan an orchid themed wedding. The orchid has a unique appeal that makes it the perfect centerpiece for a wedding and all the festivities that are included in the special celebration. Planning an orchid wedding will insure that the wedding is beautiful to be at and will also provide wonderful memories of a pleasant day.
Colors for an Orchid Wedding
If the celebration is to be an orchid wedding the bridal couple will want to carefully consider what colors will be included for the apparel and the decorations. Orchids come in a variety of colors including lavenders, pinks, yellows, burgundies, greens and multicolored. Many orchids are available for several months of the year and the couple will want to check with their florist to see what color varieties will be easiest to find and most available for the date of their wedding. The choice of colors can help the couple choose other items that will compliment and blend well with the floral choice.
Decorations for an Orchid Wedding
Because the orchid is such an elegant flower it can stand alone as the theme and décor of the orchid wedding. The orchids can make large floral displays in large vases and will stand up to three feet tall in some varieties. If other decorations are desired in the orchid wedding they should be limited to a small amount of ribbon or bows, greenery and perhaps some candles. It may be tempting to use a lot of decorations but the bridal couple should remember and focus on the simple elegance of the flowers for their orchid wedding.
Floral Design for the Orchid Wedding
Most florists are well acquainted with using orchids for a wedding and will probably have several pictures of the various options. The orchids can be used individually or can be used to make beautiful and elaborate bouquets. The orchid itself does not require other flowers but can be complimented with greenery and simple ribbon or bows. For a person who has orchids growing in their home, the flower is a perfect choice for self made wedding flowers and this will drastically reduce the cost of the wedding. With the purchase of some simple supplies the corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets will be quite easy to make. Orchids are usually quite hardy and the flower arrangements can be made a few days before the wedding and kept refrigerated until the special day of the orchid wedding.
