Orchids are beautiful flowers and associated with romance. For this reason the orchid is becoming increasingly popular for weddings and more and more brides are choosing to have orchid wedding bouquets.
If you are looking at the feasibility of orchid it is important to discuss your ideas with a florist in plenty of time. There is a wide range of orchids and they have different colours and size of flower, but you do not want to set you heart on a colour for your orchid which is not in season and hence either not available or not financially feasible at the time of year of your wedding.
Since orchids are such striking flowers many brides who choose orchid will have the whole of the wedding flowers based on the same selection. It is important to understand the striking simplicity of the orchid. If you choose too many other flowers to accompany the orchid you will loose some of the splendid glory of the orchid flowers.
How To Choose Your Orchid Wedding Bouquets.
Firstly you must decide if you want a single flower bouquet or a small selection. Then you will need to choose how you are going to decorate the bouquets. Since you do not want to diminish the beauty of the orchid it is best to choose ribbons or bows for decoration of orchid wedding bouquets.
Depending on the style of your orchid you may either want to have long flowing ribbons or perhaps a smaller tied bow if you want to balance the floral part of the bouquet.
If you want the beauty of your orchid to last for ever, it may be worth considering the silk orchids which are now available. The delicacy of the silk makes a suitable substitute for the real thing, and is guaranteed to be in season at the time of your wedding. If you have to travel to your wedding destination this may be a very good option as you can have the silk orchid made in advance and then you do not need to rely on local florist to create the bouquet.
Finally you will probably have a flower girl to consider. There are two popular choices here, firstly a single flower either matching or intentionally contrasting to the main orchid wedding bouquets. The second option, that would be popular if you have chosen the silk flower route, would be to have a small headdress prepared for the bridesmaid or flower girl. A silk headdress is also a beautiful memento for your flower girl to keep. Real orchid headdresses are not really practical, especially if your flower girl is young and likely to fiddle with the flowers, you need something sturdy enough to survive small fingers, so go for silk or a different flower.
Orchids are a very special flower and you can pretty much guarantee that if you have orchids for your wedding you will have a love for them all you life.
