Marriage is the holy union of two souls who vow to face all the trials and tribulations of life unitedly. It is one of the most significant decisions that one takes, a decision which usually has a profound effect on his life. Therefore, every would- be husband and wife wish to have a grand wedding, to celebrate the stepping into such a momentous phase of their lives. If you are the lucky one about to tie the knot , take a look at the tips given below to make your wedding a memorable one with the appropriate wedding flowers.

Wedding Flowers for Summer

Vivid colors look best for summer flowers. Choose flowers that remind you of romance, late mornings and lazy afternoons such as

• Lavender in all the shades of blue, pink and violet tied with gauzy purple ribbon
• Deep pink or red gerberas tied with matching ribbon
• Miniature sunflowers with wheat grass and fatsia leaves

For an evening wedding go for exotic

• Gloriosa lilies with their beautiful vibrant red and yellow
• Dark pink heavenly scented stargazer lilies (remove the pollen-filled stamens before they stain clothes and fingers)

Autumn or Fall Wedding Flowers

Look for flowers in the glorious shades of bronze, burgundy and terracotta representing the season of ripeness and fullness

For a daytime wedding think of

• Miniature gladioli in bronze and peachy colours
• Asiatic lilies (snip the stamens to avoid the pollen staining clothes)
• Amaryllis Belladona, which has dramatic striped flowers in rust and cream and go well with small Alstromeria

For the evening

• Orange calla lilies with bear grass and hosta leaves
• Shiny red Hypericum berries bunched together with plenty of green leaves. Tie with a green ribbon

Winter Wedding Flowers

Look for interesting flowers than have texture and fragrance. Although white wedding flowers are well suited to winter, consider

• Mixed pink and white camellias
• Winter jasmine
• Green and white hellebores (Christmas Rose) with ivy threaded through the bridal bouquet

For the evening

• Cymbidium Mont Millais is a striking burgundy colored orchid with a white edge
