When using different colored flowers in a single bouquet, it is important to arrange them for the best effect that coordinates not only with the wedding decorations, but also with the event’s formality. A bouquet that uses many different flower species mixed together will have gorgeous texture, but may appear more casual than if the flowers are all the same. Fortunately, there are many flower species that come in red, orange, purple, and yellow hues, and they can be artfully arranged in patterns or seemingly random bouquets for lovely floral accents. A bouquet with flowers arranged in tiers or circles is more structured than a loose bundle, and any multi-colored bouquet can benefit from adding greenery or other uniform accents such as white buds or other unobtrusive flowers to blend each different color together smoothly.
Different colors have different spiritual and sentimental meanings, and choosing colors to represent those meanings can be considered good luck for the happy couple.
- Red: This is the color of passionate love and is one of the most popular for bridal bouquets. Red is also considered good luck in Chinese cultures, and spiritually, red is a color of great energy.
- Orange: This is more unusual shade for weddings, but it represents enthusiasm, warmth, and pride, all of which are appropriate for a couple reaching the altar.
- Purple: The traditional color of dignity and royalty, purple also represents luxury, faithfulness, and peace, all of which can make a couple feel like the king and queen of their special day.
- Yellow: This bright color is popular for weddings and the lighthearted joy and friendship it symbolizes is perfect to celebrate a new union.
