Finding the Right Flowers for Your Wedding!
Your wedding day is one of the most magical and memorable days of your life, and choosing the right floral color palette can play a significant role in setting the tone and ambiance of your big day. With each season offering its unique array of colors and blooms, it can be overwhelming to decide on the perfect combination - especially when you have a favorite color in mind. This blog will help you navigate the top colors for each season, as well as what is blooming and readily available for your dream wedding designs.
Spring
Spring is synonymous with the beautiful sight of blooming flowers and fresh pastel hues. For a spring wedding, consider floral color palettes featuring soft shades of pink, lavender, peach, and light blue. Some popular flowers that bloom in spring and fit perfectly with this color scheme include tulips, anemones, ranunculus, sweet peas, and lilacs. Locally grown spring flowers start blooming April to May in central Wisconsin and we love to take advantage of these beautiful blooms while they are around.
Summer
Summer weddings are all about bright colors and bold blooms that reflect the warmth of the season. If you want to embrace the Summer season in your wedding color palette, opt for shades of bright yellow, orange, coral, bright purples, and hot pink. Dahlias, zinnias, snap dragons, stock, asters and lisianthus are popular summer flowers that will bring pops of color to your wedding bouquet and arrangements.
Fall
Fall weddings are known for their rich and earthy color palettes inspired by the changing seasons. If you are planning a Fall wedding, consider incorporating shades of deep red, burgundy, mustard, and burnt orange into your floral arrangements for a cozy and elegant wedding aesthetic. Flowers like dahlias, chrysanthemums, roses, and dried elements are perfect choices to create a warm ambiance.
Winter
Winter weddings call for a color palette that captures the magic of the season with icy blues, silver, white, reds, and deep greens. Although local flowers aren't available, flowers like roses, astrantia, various berries, and gorgeous greenery from a traditional wholesaler can create a winter wonderland ambiance for your wedding. Incorporating pinecones, dried branches, and touches of metallic accents will add a touch of glamour to your winter floral arrangements.
Final thoughts from Archer & Bliss
If you love the idea of incorporating local flowers into your wedding designs, colors are very important. It is a good idea to be open and flexible with colors to get the most out of sustainable, local flowers. The same is true for the flowers that are featured in your wedding designs. Flowers that naturally grow in Wisconsin can be limited to a specific window of bloom time. For example, you are getting married in July and you are dreaming of a tulip bouquet. Tulips naturally bloom during Spring, so the likelihood of local tulips being available in July is pretty slim.
