Creating A Balanced Color Palette
Summer flower arrangements have copious color and sizing options depending on the display, volume and proportion you wish to feature. You may choose larger bold flowers like peonies, or smaller delicate flowers and petals like mini roses to intertwine, creating a breathtaking floral arrangement. Similarly, the colors you choose can offer eye-pleasing contrast. For example, white and cream flowers pop when surrounded by bright red and rusted orange flowers. Add a few feathery lilacs to bring a hint of contrast to these stunning arrangements.
Colors for a vintage summer wedding include buttery yellows, pale greens and crisp whites. Meanwhile, a traditional summer wedding features colors of champagne, fuchsia, cherry red and beige flowers. To enhance your warm sunny day, pair hues of golden yellow, grapefruit pink, and frosted white floral arrangements. This color combination brings an eccentric and happy feel to any wedding venue.
