Create a Lovely Display with your Orchid Wedding Bouquet
The orchid is a lovely flower which can be by turns lavish, classy, elegantly simple or just out and out eye-popping. Your orchid wedding bouquet can be anything you want it to be thanks to its vibrant and versatile flowery personality. Orchids are a popular flower and the use of them in weddings has grown more popular with each passing year.
There are simply quite a few factors to consider when you choose your orchid wedding bouquet such as the size of your orchids as well as their strength, delicacy and of course, color. Some orchids are more delicate than others and are not suitable for manipulating into a bouquet while others are hardier and will last indefinitely. Of course, you can also look to a high quality silk orchid wedding bouquet if you do not want the expense of paying to ship fresh orchids, especially when they are not in the height of their growing season.
Decisions to Make
Your overall wedding theme will dictate what your orchid wedding bouquet will look like which is par for the course for most events. If you are having the wedding on a beach in a fancy dress and bare feet, then perhaps a vibrant orchid wedding bouquet would suit the mood. There are some lovely purple and fuchsia colored orchids that would make for a vibrant display.
If you are having a traditional wedding in the church with the requisite attendants, perhaps something understated, yet classy would be best for your orchid wedding bouquet. Creamy colors and classic white would definitely be appropriate in this instance. Of course, your orchid wedding bouquet will also depend on your overall wedding colors, your dress and even your skin complexion and hair color.
You want your flowers in the bouquet to complement your features and dress, not be the main attraction. Therefore, you might want to consider mixing the orchids up with other flowers and greenery which complement each other. The use of ribbons, rhinestones, lace and other complementary items also can enhance the look of your orchid wedding bouquet.
Other Details to Consider
Depending on the timeline of your wedding festivities, you will want your orchid wedding bouquet to last indefinitely. Therefore, the best scenario is likely that the florist will arrange to have the orchids for the bouquet to be delivered at the last possible moment to ensure freshness. In addition, refrigeration is important and must be accessible to preserve the freshness of the orchid wedding bouquet until it is time for the wedding.
Your budget will also dictate which orchids will be in your bouquet and whether or not you will want to supplement them with other flowers and greenery. Don't go into a new marriage in debt because of flowers! There is always a compromise somewhere which will still enable you to have a lovely orchid wedding bouquet.
