7 Unique And Creative Ideas Of Wedding Flowers
Body Your wedding flowers offer ample opportunity to stretch your creative muscles and add a bit of originality to your wedding day, so don't be afraid to design a floral scheme that bucks tradition. This list of favorite ideas for bridal bouquets, centerpieces, colors and other decorations is a great place to start designing a memorable decor scheme, and these may even inspire your own creations.
Play with Shape
Arrangements with a just-picked, unstructured look are replacing the tightly-bound bouquet and centerpiece shapes of previous seasons. Ensure a modern, not messy, look by choosing the right flowers. Hearty blooms like lilies, orchids, and amaranthus work well in looser arrangements because of the sleek shape of the individual blooms. Also consider incorporating nonfloral elements like feathers, berries, and crystals to add interest and depth and interest.
Get Into Navy
Sophisticated and classic navy is one of the hottest colors on the 2009 wedding palette, and many brides are daring to think beyond basic baby blue by incorporating the darker shade into their floral schemes. Naturally navy flowers may be hard to come by, but there are some options that are a close match: deep blue violets, thistles, and hydrangea are available in various shades of blue and indigo, while roses are a versatile bloom that can be dyed any color - including navy blue. Pair these bold navy blooms with white or ivory for a classic look, or yellow for a bright burst of color.
Think Beyond the Vase
Options abound beyond the basic floral vase for holding your flowers. Consider instead mixing and matching clusters of unique containers like wood buckets, mason jars, cans, pitchers, antique urns and uniquely shaped vases to add interest and reflect your wedding theme. Some ideas: Fill watering cans with wild flowers for a garden fete, or use apothecary jars filled with sand and sea glass to complement to a waterfront wedding.
Lighten Up
Candles, always a popular choice for centerpieces, are becoming even more popular as a budget and eco-friendly enhancement to traditional floral centerpieces. Ample candlelight lends the day a romantic, organic feel, while the natural resource saves electricity and drapes the setting with an intimate glow. Another way to enhance your arrangements with lighting and really make your centerpieces pop is through a technique called pinspotting. This advanced light design shines tiny beams of light from the ceiling to illuminate the center of each arrangement.
Get Stoned
Say good-bye to light pastels and muted shades, and seek inspiration from the baubles on your ears and wrist. Rich gemstone colors like amethyst, turquoise, and amber are hot on this year's wedding color palette. Accent these rich colors with soft sandy tones or grays instead of chocolate brown (so last year!)
Go Green
Going green is easy when it comes to wedding flowers. Consult Mother Nature for inspiration and bring the outdoors in. Natural objects like stones, leaves, pinecones, even twigs can add an organic aesthetic to your reception décor. Place in rustic containers or scatter amongst pillar candles for added ambiance.
Make it Personal
Further seeking to personalize their weddings, brides are using their wedding flowers to call out specific interests by incorporating unique items into bouquets and centerpieces and creating a conversation piece for guests. For instance, book worms can use intricately piled leather-bound books in place of floral centerpieces, and wine lovers can use wine bottles and decanters as centerpiece holders.

What you do is get these in the color of your choice, drop one in the bottom of whatever vase you choose, put in some clear marbels and put in your flowers and add your water. I believe they stay lite up to 8 hours. And look they have turqoise, or teal I think!! These "Submersible Flora Lights" will make the whole vase appear to be glowing. It is so neat...

You could do these with your vase and the mirrors and have your white flowers in the top, ohhh girl that would be lovely. I think the flora lytes run about $2-$3 each. I am going to order like 2 or so to try them out before ordering in bulk. I discovered these on "Whose Wedding is it anyway?" This lady had a pink themed wedding and she had these. So gorgeous! Good luck hope this was something you are interested in!!
Thanks!! I thought they were really hip and classy at the same time!! I fell in love with them. I am using blush colored heavily cupped peonies, cream roses and green hydrangeas and I am using just the clear flora lytes in the bottom. I am going to have really tall vases probably about 16" so you can see through to the person across the table.
