WEDDING WHITES GET A MAKEOVER
When it comes to saying their ‘wows’, modern brides are constantly looking for ways of pushing the envelope.
Every bride looks for the ‘wow’ factor – even if the celebration is a low-key ceremony on the beach or sophisticated and traditional elegance. It may be the dress, the retinue’s attire, the hair, the venue, the décor, the music, the speeches, the cake, the food or the flowers – but we all hope for that something special that will have the guests awestruck.
As more and more brides prefer to tackle tradition than follow it, colourful wedding flowers are taking centre stage. While white weddings will always be a firm favourite, bright and happy colours are taking centre stage.
For a jaw-dropping impression, what about these bright and bold colour combinations?..
We all know red is for romantics. Red is guaranteed to be striking and dramatic and it combines well with white. Red is usually considered to be more of a cold weather colour, but it symbolises love and passion all year round! If red’s your thing, what about a gorgeous velvet or crushed silk wedding gown offset by velvety red roses, orchids, lilies or berries?.
Sunny yellow could be an uplifting and happy effect for a very special occasion. It’s bright and breezy and with its symbols of happiness and friendship, is the perfect colour for a warm wedding. Yellow also combines well with white, blue and green and can be very flattering worn by a bride with an olive Mediterranean-type skin tone. For yellow wedding flowers, try freesias, daisies, daffodils, dahlias and roses.
Another bridal colour trend are silver and gold. This is a sure way of leading the pack when it comes to being fashion forward on the big day. Metallics are in vogue, and beautiful golden or silver wedding gowns made from elaborate brocade or reflective satin or silk are on the winners’ podium. Golden flowers are not as easy to find, but the trick is to accessorise with ribbon, vases, even fake flowers. It’s easier to create a silver look with flowers and foliage (accessories too), and silver or grey foliage will look magical with white flowers.
Green eco-weddings are also gaining popularity. It’s a fabulously easy colour to experiment with and makes a great companion with other colours. It teams well with white and pink, and can be fabulously attractive on its own. Green foliage with its varying shades and textures provides inspiration, whilst green flowers such as lisianthus, chrysanthemums, young hydrangeas, limes, bamboo and gladioli work well.
Black is also back. It takes courage for a bride to wear black but heads will turn!. A suggestion from a Perth florist, Angel Flowers is to dye fresh flowers to create ‘black’ blooms. Accessories such as velvet ribbon, pebbles and bows can be used to create striking arrangements.
Brown is far from boring and is popular for autumn or winter weddings as it evokes a sense of warmth. Rich, chocolate coloured velvet makes a stunning winter gown in brown, whilst tweed or wool looks good for a more tailored outfit. Brown flowers don’t have to be boring either, with gorgeous warm shades coming from foliage, proteas, pussy willow, magnolia and chrysanthemums.
Whether it’s an all-white affair or a colourful celebration, brides are ringing the changes when it comes to wedding themes and schemes. For inspiration, ideas and practical advice, have a look at the websites of Perth wedding flower specialists to make your dreams come true.
