Copyright (c) 2010 Daniel Nash
Possibly the most important thing about a wedding is the wedding flowers. They not only add visual interest to the day but they add elegance and a statement about the couple depending on the kind of flowers that are chosen for the day. One of the most popular wedding flowers is the orchid. They come in so many different varieties and colors that any couple can find exactly what they are looking for their special day.
Orchids can be used in a wedding in several ways. One way is in the bouquet. There are two things in particular that make the orchid a perfect flower for a wedding bouquet; color and scent. A huge aspect to picking the right flower for the bouquet is the color of the flower. Most wedding bouquets feature a white or close to white colored flower. The other aspect of the bouquet is the scent. Since these flowers will be held close to one's nose, a strong scented flower might be out of the question. Plus many people suffer from allergies creating a difficult situation when holding fresh flowers so close to one's nose. Many people do not know that flowers have meanings and stand for different things. for example to exemplify love roses could be used. Lilacs and daisies stand for innocence. Blue hydrangeas stand for loyalty and friendship. The flowers that are picked for a wedding send a message. Orchids stand for beauty. That is something that every bride and groom want their wedding to stand for. Beauty goes beyond looks; it can further accentuate the beauty of one's life, their relationship and the tradition and ceremonies themselves. Orchid would be the best choice as a flower. which will add elegance to the wedding.
Another way that orchids can be used in a wedding is in the centerpieces in the middle of the table. While some of the concerns regarding allergies and strong scents should be taken into consideration when choosing the right flower for the centerpieces, there are several reasons why orchids would make the perfect flower in these arrangements. Orchids are tough as nails. Flowers are resistant to moisture loss and heat but they are sensitive to cold and may be bruise or drop blooms with rough handling. Many people likes summer season for a wedding. Orchids are available in all season. you would get different species in different season. Orchid flower has very good height and that could add much more value to them as centerpiece. Some types of orchids grow very tall making the centerpiece truly the center of attention.
Plus, orchids can be bought in bulk. This means that you are able to cut costs and go right to the source of the growers rather then paying for all the times that the flowers have to change hands. If you are planning on doing things yourself and incorporating orchids into not only the bouquets and the centerpieces but other aspects of the decorating, then buying orchids in bulk is definitely the way to go.
