New theory of color for wedding bouquets and centerpieces

Monday, January 5th, 2009

The new Seattle Bride is out on stands and amongst its stunning array of dresses and stylish wedding ideas lies an interesting article, that we were asked to provide floral arrangements for, on color theory and its application to wedding flowers.

As in fine art, creating magical and fresh wedding florals goes far beyond the basics of the color wheel. Floral designers are ever changing their approach to color and composition. Nature gives them an amazing spectrum to work with and every flower brings with it a unique shade and texture, helping to shape the mood and feel of the bouquet.  Floral designers are inspired by nature as well as the people they are creating for and each bride is different and unique, so her bouquet should not be any different. With each bouquet being individualized, the old “rules” must be bent or broken.

 

As we are move beyond complementary colors, into a world of creativity and unique vision, we find ourselves no longer governed by the strict color palettes of the past, but moving into a new and exciting future of color and textures, of combinations both elegant and fresh, of bouquets that reflects the love and romance behind the day. 

Below are two of our arrangements that were featured in Seattle Bride.  We hope you like them!
