I’m asked quite often about flower colors for a
wedding. Should they be bright, more
muted, is white better than bright colors?
My answer is to start with the volume low and amp it up as the night
goes on.
What does this mean? Well let’s say your favorite color is lavender
(which happens to be mine). I would
start with ceremony flowers of different shades of white, the only hints of lavender
would be in the linens, personal flowers (bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres)
bridesmaids’ dresses and ribbons used.
As we move to the cocktail hour, linens would become a
deeper shade of lavender; flowers would be white with bright pops of lavender
color added. This makes the transition
from the ceremony to cocktail hour connected while building a sense of
excitement and expectation.
Once you enter the reception flowers become all shades of
purple from pale lavender to deep royal purples. The linens reflect the deep richer tones and announce
to the guests that this is the PARTY! The
colors are “knock your socks” off dazzling, yet everything about your wedding
day connects and flows.
