Lavender flowers that make a great addition to wedding floral arrangements. Information on design and blooms.
Choosing the color for your wedding is a very personal decision. After the color is chosen, then the fun can begin. Choosing the types of flowers that you use for your bouquets and other floral arrangements is also a personal decision. There are many choices for each color that a couple may choose. Here are a few different flowers that are available for the color lavender. Roses are a great choice for wedding flowers and also a classic. They come in many variations of many colors. One of these colors includes lavender. Roses are universal and can be used in floral arrangements either as accent flowers (usually in bud form) or as the centerpiece.
Lilacs are another flower that comes in lavender. Lilacs are very fragrant and can add an aura to the wedding ceremony. These flowers consist of many small blossoms clustered on the ends of the branches. They are more commonly found in the late spring to early summer. Lilacs are great for spring weddings in particular. Freesias come on a lavender color known as blue moon. The name states blue, but it is lavender in appearance. These small flowers make a great accent flower. This flower also boasts unique leaves which look almost sword-like. They also produce several blossoms on each stem.
Romantic Wedding Ideas
July 3, 2008
Is it true of the old cliche that all weddings are romantic or have modern day traditions, sucked dry the romance? I can say in all honesty that the numbers of truly romantic weddings I have attended are few and far between. They seem so impersonal, as though weddings are now being manufactured in a wedding factory. There are too many formalities, too much tension; weddings are too structured and too expensive. So how do we put the spontaneity and romance back into weddings?
Here are some ideas which depending on your style of wedding could assist in creating the romantic wedding of your dreams.
Attitude is the key to having the most romantic wedding. Let yourself be inspired by your senses, what are your favourite settings and scenic landscapes. Is it a Japanese garden or a mountain landscape or is it simply overlooking the ocean on the edge of a cliff? Do your senses transport you to another era, another location - the amazing scenery of the south of France? When you close your eyes do you imagine the floating of fabric to a soft ocean breeze? Are there candles, the fragrance of gardenias, and the sounds of a tropical rainforest in your romantic ideal? Romance is everywhere, so let your senses be your guide to creating the perfect ambience for your wedding.
Wedding Color Idea

The color you choose for your wedding will ultimately set the theme for the entire event. You can choose to play around with the color wheel and go monochrome, but working around lighter or darker variants of the color. You can also choose two complementing colors, or be daring and creative by choosing two loud colors. The key in using two loud colors is the way it is used so that they do not clash. Here you will find several ways of using and playing with colors. Remember that the colors should be reflective of the couple getting married, and have fun!
1. Color according to season. Taking color hints from the season should be reflective of nature’s own colors. Fall or autumn weddings should make use of deep, rich colors, like the hues that fallen leaves take. Choose two rich colors that complement each other. Examples of fall or autumn color schemes are: rust and buttery gold, brown and red, rust and green, purple and olive, deep red and purple.
