Top tips on wedding flowers for day and evening, as well as what goes best with your hair colour. Includes lists of seasonal flowers and inspiring ideas.

Whether you choose fresh flowers or silk, if you keep them seasonal, the colours will be more harmonious. Choose softer colours and shapes for daytime weddings and keep the dramatic blooms for late afternoon or evenings.

Match Your Colouring to Your Bridal Flowers

Blonde brides look good with blue, purple and pink wedding flowers. Red, orange and bronze flowers look best for brunettes; whilst redheads look stunning with plenty of foliage, green flowers and small touches of colour. For darker skinned brides, the more vivid colours work well, and white flowers look perfect.

Selecting a simple colour palette will create impact and style. Brides wearing white or ivory should match the colour with ribbons or accents of white or ivory in the wedding bouquet flowers. Corsages and buttonholes should stay within the palette of colours. White or ivory corsages for mothers look right against any outfit.

Size Matters with Wedding BouquetsWhen choosing flowers for the bride and bridesmaids, think of the appropriate size wedding bouquet or posy. A petite bride could carry a delicate posy of small flowers whilst a taller bride might have a regal calla lily bouquet trailing ivy. The same goes for bridesmaids of all ages. Smaller girls carry smaller flowers.
