Your Wedding Floral Guide!

Perfect Weddings is dedicating this month to everything flowers for your wedding. 

This week is all about centerpieces.  A good florist does more then bundle flowers together, they can make your theme or idea for you wedding come to life with flowers.

Here are ideas for 6 centerpieces that center around the more popular wedding themes! 

1. Old Hollywood Glamour- If your planning on jumping back to age of black and white movies this arrangement would be perfect.  This attention grabbing display will be best with black calla lilies, stephanotises, and gardenias.  Set all these in a black, metallic edged urn to complete the look.  The perfect urn can be found on mud-pie.com

2. Woodland Chic-The outside comes inside with this elegant display.  Use three different types of ferns (umbrella, leather, and koala) with accents of dahlia buds and disanthus to create this look.  The perfect accent for this display is a softly textured urn similar to the forest floor.  Check out jamaligarden.com for the perfect copper-plated urn.

3. Formal Garden-The traditional setting deserves a stately arrangement.  This theme is best portrayed by suing a silver urn with a mix of bushy white blooms.  Our favorite blooms were sweet peas, baby's breath, ranunculcu, and scabiosas.  This stately arrangement will have a beautiful and timeless appeal.  The perfect silver container can be found at fesilver.com

4. Sexy Fiesta- This bold theme deserves some hot colors.  The perfect base for this floral display is an iridescent glass pitcher.  This will a soft, subtle way to introduce this bold theme.  Now to punch up the fun for this arrangement add "double" gerbera daisies in a vivid palette of pinks, reds, and oranges.  A bold pitcher to completely this display can be found at mosserglass.com.

5. Country Charm-The simple, fun elegance of a rural landscape is displayed in this floral ensemble.  The perfect collection of flowers for this is snapdragons, tulips, and lisianthus in soft yellows and white.  A clean curved white vase would accent this arrangement the best.  This will add flair without overwhelming the flowers.  We recommend the reef vase from store.shinelabs.com

6. Pool Party- Hosting a poolside party??  We thought hydrangeas, cornflowers, and tweedia in cool blues and purples would echo the colors of the water.  A coordinating blue glass vase will make this arrangement elegant but still fun.  The best container for this arrangement can be found at wheatonarts.com.
