Orange Wedding Bouquets

March 28th, 2010

One of the nice things about orange wedding flowers is that they come in a terrific variety, both in terms of depth of color and style. Let’s begin by exploring some wonderful options for orange spring wedding bouquets. Is your style sweet with a hint of vintage? Then try a romantic collection of ruffly sweet peas in a lush apricot color. The apricot hue combines marvelously with all shades of yellow flowers, as well. Tie it up with an antique moire ribbon for the perfect orange spring bouquet.

Summer wedding flowers tend to be on the bright side, and orange is one of the best colors to choose. For a casual affair, you can’t beat a simple round bouquet of orange and fuchsia gerbera daisies. A jaunty striped ribbon will be the ideal accent. If your style is more dramatic, choose a grand bouquet of bright orange tiger lilies. This would be a fabulous addition to an otherwise white wedding attire and jewelry look. Very sophisticated.

In the autumn, orange is one of the top colors. For a classic fall bouquet, try combining a variety of orange hues, from vivid to rusty. Many of the most poplar flowers of the season come in a shade of orange. You can create gorgeous bouquets by combining zinnias, mum, and dahlias. Add some unique character with textural accents such as hanging Chinese lantern pods, berries, and even dried vines. A rustic burlap wrap would look great for an informal wedding, or dress things up a bit with a rich chocolate brown velvet ribbon.

Typical winter wedding colors are red and white, but why not try an orange bouquet for something less expected? One of the prettiest winter wedding bouquets I ever saw was a classic nosegay of terra cotta roses accented with hypericum berries. Mango mini calla lilies would make a gorgeous sophisticated winter bouquet, as would exotic orange orchids arranged in a dramatic waterfall cascade. There are so many spectacular options for orange bridal bouquets that there is something to suit almost any bride’s taste.
