Green blooms for your wedding
Summer is a great time of year to have a wedding. The fresh, fragrant air and the warm sun make everyone smile. This season, nature also brings many more floral options to the table to choose from. No matter what colour scheme you choose for your big day, green is always a great addition. A simple green and white bouquet is just one example of how simple colours, when grouped together, transform into something stunning. Here are some of your best options in terms of green blooms.
Bridal bouquet
One beautiful flower that you can add to your arrangements and even your bridal bouquet is the Nicotiana. Available in several colours, including green, this delicate flower really fills out the bouquet with a different shade of green than most of the rest of the foliage.
Centrepieces
For those looking for elegant green blooms to arrange neatly as part of table bouquets at the reception, look no further than the green Cymbidium orchid is here! As you probably know from florist displays and various online flower images, orchids are at their best when used in very simple arrangements or even standing on their own in single stem arrangements. This is because the flower is so detailed that if you group it with a whole bouquet of other orchids or even other flowers, the orchid will lose the dramatic effect it is so famous for. Orchids are also popular for wrist corsages or brooch for women. When creating or ordering your corsage, just make sure that the orchid stands out from the rest and is accompanied by only a few other flowers and greenery. Any arrangement that includes an orchid should echo the simple elegance of the flower itself. Orchids are quite expensive flowers, but really worth it when you consider that they last longer than any other cut flower. If it’s the price that worries you, perhaps you can afford to splurge and add an orchid or three to the bride’s bouquet while choosing different green flowers for the rest of the bouquets and arrangements. After all, the bride is supposed to stand out on her special day!
Mass flowers
If orchids are a little out of your price range and you’re more looking for green blooms to fill the larger spaces in the bouquet with some greenery rather than having a green focal flower, how about some green chrysanthemums? Their green petals are roughly the same shade of green as the stems and just having so many petals makes them that much more attractive. Adding mums will make your bouquet greener while livening it up with a different kind of texture. Chrysanthemums will certainly also cost much less than using other green flowers such as the aforementioned cymbidium orchids.
No matter the theme of your wedding or your budget, you are sure to find green blooms that will truly transform your arrangements. When you choose green flowers, you can also limit the amount of foliage you include in the bouquets since these flowers will serve a dual purpose.
