Top Seven Blue Wedding Flowers
If you have chosen blue as one of your wedding themes, you may not immediately be able to think of any blue wedding flowers. But before you start to think of dyeing some flowers or changing your theme colors, consider these beauties.
Delphiniums
Blue delphiniums, especially mixed with white flowers, make for a classic wedding arrangement that brings a nice touch of color to any wedding. The mix of blue and white will make for stunning wedding photos, since the blue flowers will stand out against the bride’s white dress while the white flowers will match it. The mix will serve to symbolized the mixing of the bride and groom in this new union.
Geraniums
Although we don’t usually think of them as blue wedding flowers, a purplish blue geranium often makes for a beautiful wedding theme. If you are an older more distinguished bride, you may find this the perfect flower for your wedding. The geranium’s beauty is a subtle one, denoting depth and maturity.
Furthermore, the symbolic meaning of the geranium is true friendship. If yours is a wedding long in the making, this may make it the perfect flower for your wedding.
Hyacinth
The beautiful perfume of the blue hyacinth will add to your wedding’s atmosphere. Given that many researchers have found that scent has one of the strongest effects on memories, this is sure to make yours one of the most memorable weddings among your circle of friends.
There is also the mythological story of Hyacinth who dieing at a tragically young age was saved from the underworld by Apollo, who admired Hyacinth’s beauty. So, instead of letting Hyacinth die, Apollo transformed him into the flower we know today. For this reason, we associate the flower with rebirth. (Literary types will know this flower from T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland, where the hyacinth girl makes a prominent appearance.)If yours is a relationship that has come through troubles to be reborn, this might be the flower to match your own love’s narrative.
The Dark Blue Iris
The intricate and lovely iris brings with it an air of sophistication and charm that makes it stand out even among blue wedding flowers. The configuration of petals in the iris is one its principal charms. The three outer petals form a base from which the inner petals rise—flame-like. Yellow wicks highlight the outer petals adding a distinguished flare to the flower’s beauty. If your wedding colors are blue and yellow, you have found your flower.
Blue Morning Glory
Another beautiful blue wedding flower is the blue morning glory. Unfortunately, these flowers are exceedingly hard to find, but if you do, its simple beauty can be the perfect compliment to your own beauty on that glorious day.
Veronica’s
Blue and purple veronicas make for beautiful bouquets and wonderful place settings. The varieties of incarnations of the veronica flower also make it so you can have table settings that vary interestingly from your bridal bouquet. The four petals of the veronica start as white at the base and slowly bleed blue or a near blue, often violet color.
Blue Roses
The classic blue rose is always a good choice. There is, of course, no such thing as a blue rose in nature, but through the wonders of the modern world, you can have one for your wedding. You can create several different shades to fit your whims and desires.
The blue rose, because it does not exist in nature symbolizes the impossible. If you feel that you marriage was a fantastical occurrence, then this is the flower for your wedding.
So, as you can see, there are several outstanding choices if you are working with blue as one of the theme colors for your wedding. Just choose from among these beautiful blue wedding flowers.
