5 Ways To Add A POP Of Color To Your Wedding Flowers

By

Your wedding day is a special occasion where every detail should reflect your unique style and personality. One of the most beautiful ways to add a pop of color and create a vibrant atmosphere is through your choice of wedding flowers. From the bouquet to the tablescapes, flowers play a crucial role in setting the tone for your big day. In this blog post, we will explore five creative ways to incorporate a pop of color into your wedding flowers, making your celebration truly unforgettable.

1. Colorful Tablescapes

Transform your reception tables into a colorful paradise by incorporating vibrant flowers into your tablescapes. Mix and match different types of blooms in complementary colors to create a visually stunning display. Consider adding floral runners, colorful  or textured linens floating blooms in glass vases, or mini bouquets at each place setting for an extra pop of color that will wow your guests.

2. Vibrant Wedding Bouquet

Your wedding bouquet is a statement piece that will be captured in countless photos and cherished memories. To add a pop of color, consider incorporating bold and vibrant blooms such as peonies, dahlias, or ranunculus in shades of fuchsia, coral, or deep purple. Mix in some unexpected elements like succulents or exotic orchids to create a unique and eye-catching bouquet that reflects your personality.

3. Floral Headpiece

For a bohemian and romantic touch, consider wearing a floral headpiece instead of a traditional veil. Choose bright and cheerful blooms like sunflowers, daisies, or roses to create a colorful crown that will make you feel like a true flower queen on your special day. Coordinate the colors of the headpiece with your bouquet for a cohesive and stylish look.

4. Wedding Cake Flowers

Elevate your wedding cake with a touch of floral beauty by adding colorful blooms as decorations. Coordinate the flowers on your cake with the ones in your bouquet and tablescapes for a cohesive look. Choose edible flowers like roses, pansies, or violets to add a pop of color and a touch of whimsy to your delicious dessert.

5. Colorful Ceremony Arch

Create a stunning focal point for your ceremony by decorating your wedding arch with an array of colorful flowers. Opt for a mix of different blooms in varying sizes and hues to create a dynamic and visually appealing display. Consider using flowers that complement your wedding color palette and add a touch of drama with cascading greenery or ribbons for a whimsical touch.

Adding a pop of color to your wedding flowers is a fantastic way to infuse your special day with personality and style. Embrace bold hues, mix and match different blooms, and let your creativity shine through in every floral arrangement. Your wedding day will be a vibrant and unforgettable celebration that truly reflects your unique style. Whether you opt for a vibrant bouquet, colorful arch, floral headpiece, vibrant tablescapes, or cake flowers, your wedding flowers will be a beautiful reflection of your love story.

Ways to Still Celebrate Your Cancelled/Postponed Wedding Date

By

With COVID-19 putting a damper on wedding dates from March 2020 until who knows when, couples all over the world have had to cancel or postpone their big day after planning for months or even years. We sympathize and acknowledge how hard this must be for everyone. This is why we want to provide some ideas for couples to do on their original wedding date to make sure they can still make this day one to remember.

  1. Have a Ceremony in Your Home: If you have decided not to postpone the wedding and instead just elope, why not have a ceremony in your home that you can have with just your immediate family or share over a Google Hangout or Zoom video?
  2. Have a Party! You can still have a celebration (over Google Hangout or Zoom of course). Try having a “party” in your home and invite your guests to join in a toast and some dancing and reminiscing over Google Hangout or Zoom.
  3. Have a Romantic Date “Wedding” Night. Order food from your favorite restaurant, get a bottle of your favorite wine or make your wedding specialty cocktail, and have a quiet and romantic night in with just the two of you.
    a. Exchange your vows or love letters you originally wrote.
    b. Bust out old photos and reminisce on all the years you have been together.
    c. You can even make this night “themed” and have it decorated either similar to your wedding colors or to wherever you were planning on going for your honeymoon.
  4. Eat Cake! Who says you can’t still have a wedding cake on a cancelled/postponed wedding day? Order a cake similar to your original one (a smaller size of course), and share it with your significant other.
  5. Have a Photoshoot. Get dressed up and have a mini photoshoot to remember the day by. You can even get these printed and displayed at your later wedding date.
    - You will also want to ensure whatever photographer you hire, is still aware of the “social distancing” rules when doing this mini photoshoot.
  6. Have someone organize a car parade for you! With the whole “social distancing” rule, many people are gathering together in their cars for birthdays and postponed events like weddings). Just have everyone gather in a parking lot or a neighborhood and hang out in their car from a distance.
    - You can also just ask others to drive by your home to say hi and chat (from a distance).
  7. Have your first dance. Turn on your song and have your first dance right there in your living room.
  8. Play virtual games with your wedding party. Get everyone on Zoom, Google Hangouts or any platform where you can interact and play games with your entire wedding party.

For those interested on how they can show their support to a couple who had to postpone/cancel their big day, see below for some ideas.

  1. Send them wine, champagne or their favorite alcoholic beverage ingredients.
  2. Send them dinner from their favorite restaurant.
  3. Send them a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
  4. Send them money to help pay for any fees they had to pay in order to cancel or postpone their big day.
  5. Give them a call to just chat and see how they are doing.
  6. Drive by their house and have them come outside to say hi from your car. You can even bring a sign or decorate your car to show you are thinking of them!
  7. Ask them if there is anything you can do for them to make their day easier and happier (volunteer to go grocery shopping for them, run any errands, deliver them food, etc).

Philly Florist: 2020 Wedding Trends

Elegant Events Florist | Philadelphia PA Philadelphia wedding and events

As spring is quickly approaching, we are finalizing details with our spring and summer brides. Between planning with our brides and reading all the wedding blogs, we are learning and experiencing some exciting and new wedding trends. See a list below of some things to expect in the year 2020 with upcoming weddings.

  1. Quality Over Quantity: One big trend we are seeing are couples opting for a smaller wedding (50 or less people), but using that extra money they would have spent on other guests to enhance their wedding for each guest even more. This means more detail on the food, drink, entertainment and decor.
  2. Spiritual Vibes: Couples are now including a spiritual vibe to their big day (i.e. crystals, sage, aura photo booths, etc).
  3. Specialized Menus: Couples are being more sympathetic to those guests who have dietary needs. They are now catering to everyone, even if that means needing to add several other additional menu items.
  4. Barrettes & Headbands: Brides have strayed from the tiaras and are now wearing decorative barrettes or headbands.
  5. Saving the Planet: Couples are now more environmentally cautious than ever. They include recycled decor and using plants rather than cut flowers. For example they are using potted plants or nurseries for their centerpieces/decor.
  6. Food Conveyor Belt: Add a conveyor belt for your hors d'oeuvres to add that extra “wow,” touch to your wedding.
  7. Bold Colors: Say goodbye to the black and white weddings and welcome the bold color palettes brides are loving.
  8. Custom Fabric: Customize your aisle runner, table cloths, napkins, etc with your name, wedding date, monogram, etc.
  9. Pantsuits for Bridesmaids: Bridesmaids are now starting to wear pant suits or tuxedos instead of the traditional dresses.
  10. Colorful Groom Attire: Groom’s are straying from the traditional black jacket and are wearing bolder colors (blue, maroon, green, etc) and fabric (velvet).
  11. Self Serve Refreshments: Guests no longer have to wait around for a bartender to fill their drinks. Couples are including a self serve refreshment bar in their wedding.
  12. Charities: Couples are encouraging guests to help donate to a charity that is near and dear to their hearts.
  13. Art: Incorporate art pieces from your favorite artists on the walls or tables for your decor.

Spray Painted Floral Stems: No need to wrap those stems in some ribbon. Instead have them showing after your florist spray paints them to a color of your choosing.
