Red Wedding Flowers

Nowadays florists are very creative, beautiful bridal bouquets and floral arrangements are made from any flowers. But red is hard to beat, especially a beautiful entirely red bridal bouquet combined with a beautiful white wedding gown. Red seems perfect for a wedding, it seems to be the color of love, romance, passion and sensuality. The red bridal bouquet is a classic; it can never be out of fashion or out of season.

If red is your choice for your wedding, as far as flowers are concerned you have a large variety of choices. You can choose from several types of red roses, gerberas, fresias, anthuriums, tulips and alstroemeria for your bouquet. And for the ceremony and reception floral arrangements you can choose amaryllis and gladioli, the first for their big blossoms and the second for their height, as well as heliconia which are red tropical flowers. You can also choose from these varieties: lily, dahlia, carnation, straw flower, tea rose, cannas, bitter sweet and cosmos.

Also if red is your choice you have a variety of shades to choose from, such as crimson, red cherry, burgundy, vibrant red and burnt orange-red. If we think of red wedding flowers roses probably come to mind first. The most popular types of roses seem to be Passion and Grand Prix, not only for their color but also for the velvety texture and look.

Red can also be used in combination for beautiful and symbolic visual effects. Combining red with blue will give a sense of royalty to your wedding. Red and yellow will give a fresh and cheerful touch and is very appropriate for outdoor weddings. Red is also often used in fall weddings in combinations with fall colors like orange, burgundy and plum.

The same flower can result in very different arrangements depending on the greeneries used. For instance you can have a so called kissing ball which is a bridal bouquet made only from red roses very closely tied together, looking very much like a ball, but a beautiful flowery ball. Alternately the red flowers can be complemented with different types of greeneries for beautiful effects.

Red is also a very practical color. You cannot go wrong with it in any season. Red flowers are in season in every season and that will also help lower your costs regardless of when your wedding will be taking place.
