Learning About Modern Wedding Planning

Getting married is an amazing experience that will last for a lifetime, and if you're like most people, that's how you want your wedding guests to remember your special day. One great way to make your day memorable for everyone involved is to feature flowers not only at your wedding party but at your reception too. Here are a few types of flowers to consider featuring at your wedding and/or reception:

Roses

Roses are a classic choice for a wedding. They are traditional, beautiful, and considered the "cream of the crop" when it comes to flowers. However, don't stop at the idea of white and red roses. Nowadays, you can get roses in any color that you prefer to enhance your wedding venue or reception area. If roses don't naturally grow in the color you want, they can be "painted" to be the color of your choice. Therefore, purple, blue, green, pink, and even grey are not out of the question.

Gardenias

Gardenias are subtly beautiful, and to most people, they smell like what we might imagine heaven to be like. These flowers can be picked and presented while still young, which creates a crisp and elegant look. Older Gardenias tend to make a more whimsical yet still beautiful look. Like roses, they can be painted, but these white flowers are attractive on their own and their scent is what makes them stand out from the crowd. Painting the flowers can hurt their overall scent.

Dahlias

These fantastic flowers are unlike the others on this list in that they grow to look like "globes" and can create an impressive bouquet or table setting that your guests are sure to appreciate. These gorgeous flowers come in vibrant colors like pink and orange, to begin with, so if you want to add pops of color to your wedding, these are the flowers to go with if "painting flowers" to meet your design needs isn't your thing.

Sweet Peas

These fragile yet elegant flowers deserve consideration when it comes to decorating for a wedding. These little purple flowers look a lot like small orchids, so sometimes people mistake them as such. They feature droopy, elegant petals that look fragile to the touch (oftentimes they are), yet they have thick and strong stems that lend a helping hand when it comes to keeping a bunch of sweet pea flowers together.
