Each of the 4 seasons has certain flowers that can be used as wedding flowers for the ceremony and for the reception. They can be used in centerpieces, in the bridal and bridesmaid's bouquets, and on the altar. Seasonal flowers can bring a sense of the time of year and make the wedding even more beautiful and glorious.
You can coordinate your wedding flowers to the season in which it is taking place. The seasons of the year give you a great opportunity to have unique flower decorations and bouquets. Each season has its own palate of color and you can take advantage of those colors. Each season also has association with other things you can incorporate into your wedding flowers.
Springtime gives you the opportunity to work with spring flowers. Pastels should reign in a spring wedding along with the newly grown greens that pop up with the flowers. Bridal bouquets can be consist of all different types of tulip or your palate can go more toward pastels with a bunch of daffodils with greenery added. Baskets can be used in arrangements and instead of carrying bouquets the bridesmaids can hold on to baskets filled with spring flowers. Easter lilies are plentiful at this time and if you feel that is a funeral flower you can use calla lilies instead. Gardenias give a white hue to the wedding and a great scent as well. Boutonnieres can be made from just one lily or daffodil. There are many flowering tree branches that can be used in a spring wedding as well including forsythia, cherry or apple blossoms and pussy willows. Weave forced branches in the altar and table arrangements for some extra interest.
There are so many choices for a summer bride she will hardly know where to start. Sunny bold colors should be used like a bright colored pink or shocking yellow. If the beach is to be a theme for a summer wedding use aqua and white with a few peachy hues thrown in. Navy and white would even be a great theme because it so crisp and clean. Wedding flowers can consist of daisies, zinnias, black eyed Susan or if you wish to go more formal use roses. You can place artificial ladybugs, dragonflies, or butterflies in the arrangement for a hint of whimsy. Beach themes can utilize sand or sea shells in the arrangements. A single rose with baby's breath can make up a boutonniere and bouquets can consist of massive flowers that bloom in the summer.
Darker colors predominate in the fall in oranges, browns, yellows, and reds. Metallic colors are also in order in golds or bronzes. Autumn leaves either in silk or dried leaves should be used to enhance the look of any fall arrangement. Sprinkle gold paint or gold glitter on pumpkins, squash and gourds and use them in centerpieces. Grapes are in season during the fall and cascades coming from centerpieces and bouquets are beautiful. Use seasonal apples and cranberries or their colors. Sheaves of wheat, signifying harvest, can be used in table decorations. A bit of wheat with a small mum is great for a boutonniere and the bride's bouquet can be white mums that have their tips dusted with gold glitter. Sunflowers are also blooming in the fall and dried flowers can also be used.
Either snowy white or rich and bold colors are the theme for winter weddings. White or blue tinted flowers can be tipped in silver glitter to exemplify the season. If you are thinking of a black and white wedding now is the time to do it. A holiday wedding can make use of holly or mistletoe and use the colors of green and red. Instead of bouquets bridesmaids should carry lit lanterns decorated with holly and roses. Use the abundant evergreens that exemplify this season and even a wreath can be used during the ceremony around the Christ Candle. Use twinkle lights to excess and poinsettias with jingle bells. Another idea for bridesmaids is to get each of them a candle that is operated by battery to carry up the aisle. A bridal bouquet can be made from roses, amaryllis blooms, holly leaves, or poinsettias and can be accented with a fall of jingle bells that will pleasantly tinkle whenever she moves.
