Blush Pink Wedding Flower Ideas

View More

A BLUSH pink wedding theme is one of the most popular colour schemes in 2017; brides and grooms adore it, because blush is romantic, feminine and can match with any themed wedding; bohemian, modern or even rustic.  Blush pink wedding gowns are also big news in recent months, particularly dresses with flower embroidery!  This style of wedding dress is completely romantic and is a perfect choice for a feminine bride who wants to embrace the pink colour palette.

So the flowers!  Where does one begin in choosing all the amazing pretty pink flowers there are?  Well, the first step is to visit your wedding florist who can show you examples of their wedding work with hopefully examples of pink floral designs with mixes of complementary colours to enhance; and talk through the different colour palettes that can be used for a pink wedding.

Another very popular choice with brides are the fabulous David Austin roses; the popular blush/light pink varieties include ‘Kiera’ and ‘Rosalind’.  The really great thing about these roses is they look very similar to peonies with their frilly petals, so for brides getting married outside the peony season they are the perfect choice!  The incredible scent is worth the price of these more expensive than usual roses, as commercial roses tend not to be fragrant.

Sometimes, if budget does not allow for these throughout the entire wedding, I suggest using them just in the bridal bouquet and a groom buttonhole to match, then using less expensive blush roses within the rest of the arrangements to match in.

Great for large scale arrangements such as pedestals, as pew ends or even just for a cluster to be held by the bridesmaids are; hydrangeas – there are some great classic pinks available, most popular are ‘Verena’, ‘Lolly Pop’ and ‘Vendetta’ classical.  There is another variety if you prefer a mix of pink and green, which is called; ‘Magical Revolution’ which is more green than pink however.

spraying liberally with water onto the petals helps to keep them hydrated as they drink through their petals.  Also cutting the bottom of the stems into a ‘V’ will enable them to drink more water whilst conditioning them.  If you want these to be made into bouquets, ask your florist to supply vases or big jam jars filled with water so once the photos are completed they can be popped into water – and displayed near the cake or card table as an additional decoration.
