So, you’ve got the venue booked, the dress or suit sorted, and now you’re knee-deep in the fascinating flower choices. But– do your flowers need to be rocking the same shades as your wedding color palette?
There’s no hard and fast rule that says your flowers must match your wedding colors. While it can create a seamless and cohesive look, it’s not the be-all and end-all.
Color Coordination, To Match or Not to Match?
Any bride-to-be (or groom-to-be, or anyone planning a fab wedding) might encounter the age-old question: Do your flowers need to be like BFFs with your wedding colors? Well, they don’t! While matchy-matchy can be Pinterest-worthy, it’s not the only game in town.
Now, let’s consider a few factors. Are your wedding colors vibrant and bold? Or they’re more on the muted, pastel side of the spectrum. If you’re going for bold, contrasting flowers can add excitement. Think rich reds against a sea of serene blues. If you’re in the pastel squad, matching those soft tones with your blooms can create a dreamy, harmonious vibe.
Breaking Bouquet Norms
Throw the rules out the window if you fancy. A bouquet that’s the rebel in the room can be the talk of the town. Imagine a wild mix of flowers doing their own thing, stealing the show in a riot of colors against a backdrop of serenity.
Sometimes, a bouquet that stands out can be the statement piece your wedding needs. For instance, you can have a bouquet of vibrant sunflowers stealing the show against a sea of cool greens and whites.
When selecting bouquet flowers, incorporate subtle hints of the bridesmaids’ dress colors. This ensures the flowers won’t get lost or fade against the dresses. The goal is for the dresses and your flowers to make a distinct statement individually.
Seasons Change, So Can Your Blooms
And then there are the seasons, the sneaky color changers. Spring? Hello, pastels and blossoms. Fall? Picture warm hues like deep reds and earthy oranges. Winter? Classic whites and greens are like a serene winter wonderland. Nature’s got its own color palette, and it’s pretty fabulous.
In the end, it’s your day, your style, and your vibe. Choosing your wedding blooms is not about ticking boxes or following trends. It’s about your love, your personality, and the unique story you’re telling. Whether you’re sticking to the script or flipping the floral script entirely, the key is to create an atmosphere that feels uniquely you.
