Inspiring Ideas For A Garden Wedding
Although many brides have enjoyed the use of color as part of their wedding over the past few years, times are changing. Today's brides are choosing to return to the traditional white wedding. And a white wedding gown can look absolutely stunning when surrounded by beautiful and colorful flowers.
It makes no difference if you hold your garden wedding in New York's Central Park, or in a private garden, nature is all around you to inspire and motivate you. But if you want everything to be white, including the flowers, then a garden wedding can still be the answer. The choice of color or no color is yours but remember, no garden wedding is complete without flowers.
Before you can have the garden wedding of your dreams you will need the following seasonal guide so that you can know which colors will fit each of the seasons:
Spring??? Choose pastel shades of blue, pink, purple and light yellow. Summer??? Baby blue, magenta, canary yellow and white are ideal for a summer garden wedding. Fall??? This is the time for the rich colors of burgundy, red, burnt orange, gold and brown. Winter??? Winter garden weddings look wonderful with white, red, deep wine, green and, of course, chocolate brown.
Wedding shopping for flowers for your wedding may not be as easy as you think. Do not get your heart set about having a certain type of flower until you set the date of your wedding. Then you will know the season. Some brides-to-be will want flowers for either their centerpieces or for their bridesmaids.
Here you have some ideas in place for your garden wedding. The bride who desires a trendy and fresh look for the summer can be seen flocking to green and pink in droves. Is that a surprise? No, it is not. For most of us, these beautiful hues are the ultimate when it comes to that playful and contemporary mood. It is feminine but flexible to fit a variety of different moods.
Although flowers are seasonal you can still have the flowers you want if you are prepared to have them imported. However, this is an expensive option and perhaps not a viable one for the bride who is working within a budget.
In order to avoid problems and disappointment it is advisable that the bride make use of a florist or designer. You will be able to discuss with her the choices you like and those you are not too keen on. She will be able to advise you about which flowers are in season, or suggest alternatives for you.
If you are fortunate enough to have a large budget at your disposal then extra expenses such as having flowers imported will not be a problem. For the majority of brides, however, good planning of each aspect of the wedding will ensure that your garden wedding is one you will never forget.
