Wedding reception decorations ideas

As far as the popularity of the wedding flowers is considered then blue wedding flowers are second in popularity to the white ones. The white wedding flowers are easily the most popular ones and very much so. It is mainly because of the theme of the wedding that you will pick the flowers or you will pick based on the brides dress and white over there is the main color.

 

The flowers which are available in the blue color are hyacinths and the hydrangea as well as the delphiniums.

 

Hyacinths are mainly spring bloom plants or bulbs and generally bloom in clusters. There are certain types if hyacinths and the common types are the grape Hyacinth flowers. They are very commonly grown in the Netherlands and hence are called the Dutch hyacinths.

 

 

As far buying these hyacinths for the wedding is concerned since these flowers bloom in March and April you will need to make sure that you get these flowers booked in advance if you are getting married during these two months.

 

While buying the hyacinths you can order either by each stem or you can buy as a bouquet or you can buy cut hyacinths in a box. Of course needless to say box hyacinths will less expansive than the regular ones.

 

Tip: – Since hyacinths are very sweet smelling so if you have want that fragrant wedding then hyacinths are for you.

 

 

Hydrangeas

 

The colors in which hydrangea is available is purple hydrangea, blue hydrangea, white hydrangea and lavender hydrangea.

 

You can use the blue or lavender hydrangea in the case you want the blue wedding flowers and the best part of this is that this can provide variety to your theme

 

See this photo below and it will give you an idea as to how hydrangea can fit into your needs.

 

 

How to achieve the Blue color in Hydrangea – The blue color in hydrangea is because of the amount of aluminum which you use when the hydrangea is grown and hence there are chances when you order these the floral company will tell you that there is no gurantee of an exact color match. So be careful about this fact when you order Hydrangeas.

 

Tip: You can very easily make a bride or bridesmaid bouquet with the hydrangea flowers using the six or ten cut stem hydrangea flowers.

 

 

Cost:  In general the cost of each stem is $3 – $6 based on how much bulk you can order.

 

Delphinium is another very good blue colored flower though I must say that it slightly more on the darker shade of blue.

 

Meaning of Delphinium – This is also commonly know as Larkspur or the Lark’s heel and they are dolphin shaped and they convey a feeling of open heart and devoted attachment.

 

Colors available in Delphinium are light blue, purple, white and the usual blue.

 

The stem bunches of generally 10 or more can be ordered from the retailers. The cost can be around $ 120 – $150. Each stem will generally contain 15 – 20 blooms.

If you are getting these shipped you will get these a bit dehydrated and it will take some 8-12 hours for them to be totally hydrated and bloom to its glory again.

 

 

Other flowers which are there are veronica, sea holly, statice and iris.

 

The blue color combinations that you can use are of course

 

White and blue is the best combination. Light green may go well with light blue or the olive green color can be used very effectively with blue.

Yellow or cream color would look good with blue wedding flowers
