subject: Choosing Wedding Orchids for a Perfect Day [print this page] The choice of flowers for a wedding is one of the most important decisions in the planning process. The beauty of wedding orchids expresses the personal feelings and love of the bride and groom on their special day.
One of the most enduring choices of flowers for weddings is orchids. The large number of orchid varieties, colors and the exquisite beauty of their blossoms allow every bride to find the flower that perfectly expresses her feelings.
Flowers and especially orchids are used in a variety of ways for weddings. One key decision is the bride's bouquet. The incredible beauty, color and fragrance of the orchid make it a wonderful selection for any bouquet.
For many brides, the wedding flower for the bouquet and other arrangements often feature flowers that have a white or nearly white blossom as possible. Secondly the fragrance of the flower is a very important factor. Since the bouquet is handled near the face, the fragrance must be subtle and not too over powering.
And furthermore, many decisions about wedding orchids must be made in light of seasonal allergies.
Beyond the dynamic colors and fragrances offered by orchids, the selection of wedding flowers is driven by their unique meaning to the bride, groom and families. For example, the traditional meaning the roses is love while lilacs and daisies are symbols of innocence. And blue hydrangeas reflect traditions of loyalty and friendship.
These unique messages conveyed by wedding flowers provide the image, meaning and personal message desired on your special day.
Wedding flowers and particularly orchids express beauty, something that virtually any bride and groom wish to express during their wedding. This expression of beauty is more than just outward looks but an expression of one's inner life, the deep personal relationship of the bride and groom and a confirmation of the traditions and ceremony of the wedding itself.
In addition to the care involved in selecting the wedding bouquet, another critical decision regarding wedding flowers is the table decorations.
Final decisions for table decorations must reflect the bride and grooms personal choice but also must consider common flower allergies and the strong fragrances of some flowers for the guests. These factors make orchids a strong choice for wedding table dcor.
Orchids are commonly selected for table dcor in weddings because of their height. Because some species grow quite tall, the centerpiece can be a powerful center of attention for wedding guests.
A very important first consideration for table decorations is the overall durability of the flower. Orchids are very strong and durable flowers. Care must be taken when they are used in chilly climates and they can be bruised or lose petals if they are carelessly handled.
Special care must be taken when orchids are shipped to the final destination to ensure adequate moisture and protection against too much heat especially during summer periods.
Another important consideration that makes orchids a great wedding flower is they can be purchased year round in almost any quantity depending on the particular orchid type you choose.
Finally to minimize wedding costs, it is possible to contact orchid growers directly and avoid incremental pricing that occurs through the supply chain. This approach makes bulk purchases of orchids an ideal solution.
