Which Shade Of Pink Should I Choose?
Pink wedding flowers are so popular the only problem is choosing the correct shade of pink for you.
Pink wedding flowers mainly fall into three different categories; soft delicate pink, vibrant pink and ‘hot’ cerise pink. Now all you have to do is decide which one suits your colour scheme the best. Here are a few pointers from me to help you.
Soft Delicate Pink Wedding Flowers
In this photo you can see a bridal bouquet that I recently made. It features the wonderful soft pink ‘Heaven’ roses, it’s teamed with the gorgeous cream ‘Vendela’ rose and soft pink lisianthus.
This colour combination works really well against bridesmaid’s dresses in beige, coffee, soft raspberry and soft baby pink.
Other soft pink flowers include gerberas, calla lilies, stocks and peonies. Eucalyptus foliage works really well with soft pink wedding flowers because of its delicate silver grey colour.
Vibrant Pink Wedding Flowers
Here you can see a bridesmaid’s handtied posy that I made featuring the strong ‘aqua’ pink roses. It’s teamed with lilac ‘Blue Moon’ freesias, ivory ‘Akito’ roses and parvi eucalyptus leaves.
This colour combination works well against navy blue, lilac, mid and deep purple bridesmaids’ dresses.
I always advise brides to choose a lighter shade of flowers if they are going to be held infront of a deep coloured dress like purple or navy blue.
Other vibrant pink wedding flowers include, bouvardia, veronica, tulips and alstroemeria.
Cerise or ‘Hot’ Pink Wedding Flowers
We have just finished working on a wedding that was completely themed on cerise pink.
Here you can see part of the brides shower bouquet featuring beautiful hot pink ‘Milano’ roses, hot pink calla lilies teamed with ivory ‘Akito’ roses and freesias.
The table arrangements for this wedding were all made out of the fun vibrant cerise pink gerbera.
Other hot pink flowers include, gloriosa, peonies, celosia, alstroemeria, dahlias and freesias.
