Nothing spells romance more than the scent and beauty of fresh flowers on your wedding day.
Choosing the color of your flowers for your wedding day can be solely based on your favorite color or your favorite flower.

If you have a favorite flower, choosing the colors will generally follow the flower. If you will use your favorite color, here are some suggestions of flowers under that shade:

-Pink Flowers – Calla Lily, Baby’s Breath, Tulip, Carnation, Pink Rose, Dahlia, Daisy
-Red flowers – Red Rose, Chrysanthemum, Red Tulip
-White Flowers – Lily of the Valley, Daffodil, Gladiola, White Rose, Orchid

You may also want to consider the meaning or the values these flowers represent. While you may have chosen a flower based on your favorite flower, still consult the list below for the things that the certain flowers represent:

Roses
Red roses have always been used to symbolize love. White rose is considered the color/flower that symbolizes loyalty and pure intentions. Pink roses show gentleness and elegance.
You can use roses in almost all set-ups such as bouquets, corsage or centerpiece.

Lilies
Amongst Christians, lilies symbolize pure love. Generally, they are the flowers that are majestic, pure and innocent. For modern themes, calla lilies are the ones generally used.

Orchids
Feelings of love and a show of beauty is what orchids generally show. This popular choice for weddings is made available all year long.

Carnations
Considered as the flower of love, this flower can be combined with other flowers for its beauty to truly standout.

And finally, here are some considerations that you should bear in mind when you have to start from scratch in choosing your wedding flowers.

Your personal style
You can choose flowers, and then pick the color of the flower that is nearer or complements the shade of your wedding motif. You can also choose to be more contemporary and choose grasses and herbs – you can then pick the colors based on your motif as well.

Use the color wheel
While today’s modern style will allow you to choose anything and have any color combination. However, you may choose to go classic and be safe with your color combination by choosing varying shades in the same color.

Be overall coordinated
While you feel a pink flower is already coordinated with your overall pink motif, you can still check by borrowing swatches from the makers of your gown and see which shade of pink they are using.

If you want the exact same shade, the shade of your pink flower may be lighter than the pink fabric. Remember that not because a certain color looks good for the flowers, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the same shade will look good when it is translated to fabric.

Finally, do not be afraid to ask your florist or flower shop for suggestions about which flowers to get and what flowers people typically get for their weddings. They are the experts in the field and may have a different perspective along with different ideas on what may look good for your wedding theme or color choices.
