There are several things that go in determining whether your centerpiece is a hit or a miss. However, it is the choice of flowers that matters the most. You cannot expect a spectacular centerpiece, if you are using the wrong combination of flowers. Here are some stunning wedding flower combinations that are sure to make your centerpieces a visual delight.
Orchids and snapdragons
This is one of the best wedding flower combination that you can have for centerpieces. However, you cannot use every type of orchid with snapdragons. There are certain type of orchids such as dendrobium and phalaenopsis that work extremely well with snapdragons. Their full round shape matches the long, spiral shape of snapdragons perfectly well.
Another great thing about this wedding flower combination is that both snapdragons and orchids give you a wide range of color options to choose from. So, you can mix and match and create your own combinations. Put them in a slightly long vase and they sure to make a style statement.
Hydrangea and delphiniums
The round and delicate shape of hydrangeas when coupled with tall, slender and slightly well defined delphiniums make for a great choice for centerpieces. The completely different shapes of these two flowers is what makes them a great combination. When both these flowers are put together, they look like a meadow of flowers gathered in a bundle.
You need to ensure that you are using two contrasting colors to create a more vibrant and beautiful centerpiece. Go in for fuchsia hydrangeas and purple delphiniums to create a rich and exuberant appeal for your centerpiece.
Lupines and asters
If you wish to do things that are slightly unconventional, then this one is the perfect option. Lupines and Asters make for a striking combination and work extremely well. While lupines are extremely tall and slender flowers, asters are big round blooms. A flower arrangement with Asters in the centre and lupines on the sides will make for a great centerpiece.
And what more? Both these flowers come in a gigantic range of color options. So, you can create an entire rainbow using both these flowers. However, if you do not wish to use a lot of colors, then using two colors alone will help serve the purpose. You can also opt for a classic combination like white asters and pink and purple lupines. Go easy on the vases as both these flowers have well defined silhouettes. The simpler the vases, the better it is going to be.
Adhere to the golden rule of 'mix and match' and keep your creative sensibilities alive and you are sure to come up with some of the best centerpieces.
