Tips To Select
The Best Colour Scheme For Wedding

Everyone has
some special planning related to the day of wedding. Flowers form one of the
indispensable parts of this day. To make the day beautiful the selection of
accurate color
is necessary. The bridal boutique also plays a great role in this occasion. One
should select all if this carefully.

Traditionally
the bride's bouquet was made up of white blooms symbolising purity, though the
current trend is to mix in other colours according to the overall colour scheme
that reflects the occasion. There are many different colours that can be brought
to the fore or used to accentuate white in a bride's bouquet and each colour
brings with it a number of choices of blooms.

The most popular
choices of colours for a wedding day include everything from purples, blues,
yellows pinks and reds through even to the more unconventional choice of blacks.
Each of these colours represents different moods and sentiments you may wish to
convey in your wedding flowers. Blues show a relaxed state of mind that can be
reassuring on a day which is often cited as being one of the most potentially
stressful. The different shades of blue run through blooms such as cornflower,
hydrangea, iris and veronica to name a few and each of these can accentuate the
overall fragrance created for your big day as well as help get the right 'look'
for your wedding.

Red

This colour is
often associated with love and romance and so remains a popular choice for
wedding blooms. This passionate and warm colour used to carry bad associations
on the occasion of a wedding day but recent trends show reds are becoming
increasingly popular. There are of course other blooms other than the infamous
red rose, why not invest in some poinsettias or geraniums to carry your romantic
intentions across?

Purple

Purple presents
a dramatic flash of colour in your bouquet that is reminiscent of the clergy and
is even said to have mystical overtones. The most popular blooms in this colour
range include orchids, African violets and anemones. There are others available
but depending on whether you choose a larger florist such as Interflora for
wedding

flower delivery or a local florist - you may find yourself limited as to the
number of different blooms available in these colours.

Green

Since green is
the colour of nature it is often used as a highlighter for the rest of the
colour spectrum when creating a bouquet of flowers. Without a little greenery to
accentuate the beautiful blooms you have chosen your bouquet will look a little
bare and undressed. This is fine if you're looking for an informal and relaxed
ceremony but tradition dictates that some foliage is present in most bouquets.

Pink

Another timeless
classic for a wedding day. A feminine colour that denotes softness and beauty,
pinks are used to heighten the sense of the romance of the day. Look at sweet
peas, carnations and azaleas if you're interested in being in the pink on your
day.
