The Blue and White Wedding Bouquet a Truly Special Arrangement
If you follow the symbolism of what the different colors of flowers mean, then the blue and white wedding bouquet is truly special indeed. The color of blue in flowers represents friendship, peace and tranquility as well as truth, inspiration and a touch of spirituality. With the color white in flowers, the symbolism represents purity, kindness, simple perfection and loyalty in love matters. Combine the two colors in a blue and white wedding bouquet and you have a special symbolism that should be so inherent in new marriage unions.
Choosing your Blue Flowers
Blue is a rather rare color for a flower and chances are that most of the blue ones you see having actually hints of periwinkle or purple in them like lilacs. Forget-me-nots are a unique flower to have in your blue and white wedding bouquet and also provide an extra hint of color with their yellow dotted centers.
The seasons typically dictate what types of blue flowers you are likely to find for your wedding bouquet. Blue hydrangea is popular fall flowers and blue chip campanula is attractive summer flowers. Blue balloon flowers are attractive summer backdrops to any blue and white wedding bouquet while blue roses are perfect almost year round and should be the center of attention. Delphinium and hyacinths are additional options that add a burst of blue color to any flower arrangement.
Choosing your White Flowers
When you choose white flowers, you will have countless options to choose from so the season and your personal preference will be your guide in this instance. Calla lilies are delicately white and if not used correctly could overpower a blue and white wedding bouquet. White roses are a perfect foil against any blue flower as are tulips, mums, daisies, tuberoses, lilies of the valley and even orchids.
Some white flowers have colorful centers like Shasta daisies or narcissus and can provide an attractive hint of color that can complement your blue and white wedding bouquet. Really, it is personal preference which should guide you to your choices for an attractive flower display.
The End Result
Blue is an interesting color to have in a bouquet and is not as popular as other colors such as pinks and reds. For this reason alone, your blue and white wedding bouquet will be a showpiece and a testament to your good taste in flowers. With the right greenery and filler like baby's breath and ivy, the bouquet will be the perfect backdrop to a lovely wedding.
