Colourful Wedding Flowers

The Power of Colourful Wedding Flowers

Colour isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a feeling. Bright wedding flowers energise a room, make people smile, and give your celebration a unique personality. Whether your colour inspiration comes from your favourite shade, a special memory, or the season of your wedding, flowers are the perfect medium to bring it to life.

Here are three tried-and-tested colour schemes to consider for your big day:

1. Complementary Colours: A Bold and Balanced Approach

Complementary colours are pairs that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel—like red and green, orange and blue, or purple and yellow. These combinations bring drama and depth to your wedding flowers while staying beautifully balanced.

For an autumn wedding, imagine rich burgundy dahlias paired with lush green foliage, or for a spring celebration, vibrant lavender blooms offset by sunny yellow accents. Complementary schemes are striking yet harmonious, perfect for a wedding that’s both bold and sophisticated.

2. Accent Colours: Subtle but Striking

If you love the timeless elegance of neutral tones but still want a pop of colour, an accent colour is your answer. Picture a bouquet of soft white roses and creamy lisianthus, with just a hint of emerald-green ivy trailing through—it’s understated yet eye-catching.

This approach works beautifully with classic green and white palettes but can also adapt to brighter combinations. Add a splash of coral, peach, or cerulean blue for a playful twist that’s perfect for a fun wedding.

3. Rainbow Schemes: Let Your Wedding Flowers Shine

For couples who love to go big with their ideas, rainbow wedding flowers are pure magic. This scheme uses the full spectrum of colours, creating a playful, vibrant, and joy-filled atmosphere.

Think multicoloured bouquets bursting with roses, ranunculus, and anemones in every hue, or tablescapes adorned with ribbons in every shade of the rainbow. The key here is balance—by carefully considering tone and texture, you can create a look that’s bold without being chaotic.

A Few Tips for Working with Colour

• Draw Inspiration from Nature: The natural world is full of colour pairings that just work. Think about how wildflowers bloom in a meadow or how sunsets blend shades of orange, pink, and purple effortlessly.
• Use Texture to Add Depth: Incorporating berries, twigs, or unusual foliage can enhance your colour scheme and make your arrangements feel more dynamic.
• Trust Your Instincts: Whether you’re drawn to soft pastels or daring brights, the most important thing is that your wedding flowers reflect your personality and story.
