Choosing Your Wedding Theme
Another question after color I’ll ask brides seeking me for their wedding flowers is what is the theme or type of wedding? This says a lot also on the look and feel of everything we choose for the decor beyond flowers. If it is black tie, then certain palettes go better than others. Casual beach? Sand, peach and baby blue are stunning palettes. The idea of colors and theme go hand in hand and help me as your florist and wedding designer to create the ambiance of your dreams.
Here are some popular themes for a wedding and the colors that go well within the wedding surroundings:
Classic: This would be considered elegant and navy blue and gold are classic combinations for a classic wedding. A deep rust or gold and muted green colors for a fall and for a winter wedding add to these a deep red. A classic wedding in the summer are blush pinks, white and soft peaches
