Beautiful Purple Wedding Flowers

Purple makes a great choice for wedding flowers, as there are so many different shades and textures to mix and match. Purple is associated with royalty, nobility, peace, wealth, and beauty bringing a unique touch of depth and richness to ones wedding. There is no shortage of purple wedding flowers available allowing one to select the perfect flowers for their wedding. Also, this way no one has to settle for something they dislike.

Each flower brings forth its own special qualities. Some purple flowers, like tulips, are best suited for table arrangements. Other flowers are perfectly suited for the role of accent flower. For instance, purple sweet peas and purple phlox are both smaller flowers that cluster on long stems. The purple phlox is also a very leafy plant, which is great for filling out purple wedding bouquets or centerpieces.

While there are ways to tent flowers to a desired color many prefer the natural look. Luckily purple allows couples a wide variety of naturally purple flowers to choose from. Lavender, which is a light purple, would make great bouquets, corsages, or boutonnieres. Orchids can make great corsages while Lilacs, which wilt quickly if not hydrated, are best for centerpieces or other decorative arrangements. Tulips, roses, iris’s, and Calla lilies, and hydrangea are all great for bouquets. For a summer or autumn wedding the Dahlias is a perfect choice as this is their peak time. Including purple flowers into your flower girl tiaras is also a lovely option.

Choosing ones color is not then end of picking out the flowers. Couples will need to decide whether they would like a subtle color scheme or a more eye-catching theme. Combining different purple flowers with pinks, whites, or reds will create a look of symmetry. For those who are more interested in creating a contrasting view should choose yellows or oranges.

Because there are so many purple wedding flowers to choose from deciding on which flower becomes a tough decision. There are flowers with mild fragrances like the Swan River flower and then there are flowers like the Freesia that can be quiet fragrant. The Lisianthus is a popular wedding flower that has a bell shape. Other popular purple wedding flowers include the coneflowers, lilacs, impatiens, verbena, gladioli, Alyssum, Bachelor Buttons, Crocus, Spider Mum, Hybiscus, Pansy, snapdragons, Wisteria, Tamarisk, Lupine, and Clematis.

No matter which unique combination of purple wedding flowers the couple chooses will bring a touch of mystery and spirituality to the couples wedding day.
