Flowers For Your Lesbian Wedding - Part Two
As you think about your flowers, there are basically two areas you have to think about.
The two are your color scheme, then the flowers themselves.
Find your color scheme.
Is it your favorite colors, colors that mean something to you both? What about colors for the season or holiday near your lesbian wedding? Channaukah could be blues, silver and whites; Christmas reds, greens, and golds.
Is your color scheme going to have something to do with your surroundings at your wedding? This could be like a beach wedding where you pick colors like seafoam green, teal, aqua, sandalwood, oyster, ivory and so on or a fall wedding with reds, oranges, yellows, and browns.
Are the colors pastel shades, big bright bold colors (Gerberadaisies are great for this), or deep dark colors.
Then find the main flowers that will match your color scheme.
First say it is around Christmas with red and greens.
Maybe for your bouquet you want red roses and holly.
Think about whether you want full size roses(tea, garden, or sweetheart) or spray roses.
For the holly, there is English or variegated with or without berries.
A bit of baby's breath (gypsophila) is a beautiful filler that lightens the look of the bouquet and can fill it out nicely.
Maybe a spring wedding with pastels, A dark background of English ivy would make the pastel coloration pop.
Tulips are beautiful, but try to avoid them since they go by very fast and fall apart easily.
Go more with the hyacinths, daffodils, hellebores, etc.
which last a lot longer.
In the fall a bouquet of just one or two stems of hydrangeas make a fabulously simple lesbian wedding bouquet.
Hydrangeas come in beautiful blues, pinks, whites, and some blending from almost red to pink into white.
Be clear as to what type of hydrangea you want.
These are good flowers that last well and can stand up to the use in a bouquet and floral arrangements: ACONITUM (MONKSHOOD), ALSTROEMERIAS, CARNATIONS (Regular & miniature), CHRYSANTHEMUMS (Fiji, Pompoms, etc.
), FREESIAS, GARDENIAS, GERBERAS, HYDRANGEAS, LISIANTHUS, ORCHIDS, ROSES (sprays, garden, sweetheart, or hybrid tea), STAR OF BETHLEHEM, STOCK, & ZINNIAS These make great fillers: GYPSOPHILA, KANGAROO PAWS, LAVENDER, STATICE, & YARROW Putting together your thoughts for what you wish your lesbian wedding flowers to look like, will become reality in the hands of your florist.
