Five Ideas for Beach Wedding Flowers

One of the highlights of having a tropical wedding are beach wedding flowers. Many tropical locations have unique colors and varieties of flowers that are only found on islands like Hawaii and the Caribbean.

Even if you aren't having your beach wedding on an island, it has become relatively inexpensive to find them on the mainland as well.

The first step in picking your flowers is to know what types are available where you are getting married or know what can be imported to your location. Local styles and customs will also change depending on where you are.

Once you know what is available at your wedding location, you can plan your flower budget accordingly. Working with a florist or local wedding planner or expert can help tremendously in this area.

Knowing what is available will also help with deciding on what your wedding colors will be for decorations and bridesmaid dresses. Some tropical locations have flowers and colors are unique to it which might open up different color schemes to choose from.

Listed below are five beach flower ideas to get you started:

Hawaiian Wedding Flowers

Hawaii is known for beautiful flowers, and there are several fun, colorful options for your wedding flowers. Leis are probably the best known Hawaiian tradition that can easily be added to your wedding day.

Also a Hawaiian tradition, a Haku wristband, headband or anklet is another Hawaiian tradition that you could use to sprinkle color and uniqueness to your wedding.

Orchids

These colorful flowers are very resilient and can withstand hot, tropical weather. Typical colors include white, yellow, pink, pale green and purple.

Use them alone or with other colorful flowers to create stunning bouquets. They can also be part of your ceremony and reception decorations.

Hibiscus

Typically found in red or pink, tropical hibiscus will add color and class to your wedding. Many island brides match hibiscus red with their bridesmaid's gowns and wedding accent colors.

Hibiscus can be used by themselves in bouquets or paired with other tropical flowers like orchids or lilies.

Lilies

Heat resistance is just one of the reasons that make lilies a favorite among beach brides. They are also striking beautiful when used in bouquets or by themselves as decorations.

Many brides choose bouquets of white, sometimes accented with red roses or other flowers. Other popular lily colors are pink and yellow.

Roses

Popular for any wedding, roses do very well in hot climates which make them a popular choice for beach weddings. Use bouquets of red roses, or combine them with other beach wedding flowers like lilies or bird of paradise.

As you probably already know, roses come in more colors than red. Try mixing white or yellow roses in with bright, tropical flowers.

The Best Yellow Wedding Flowers for the Season

A bride who has her heart set on yellow wedding flowers should consider the season in which her wedding will take place, before selecting a type of flower. In addition to the many meanings associated with yellow wedding flowers, the flower itself can symbolize a time of year.

Brides can use yellow wedding flowers as the main shade in a bouquet or as an accent color; yellow flowers pop when put next to royal purple, and are a natural complement to oranges and reds. Alternately, an all-yellow palette of wedding flowers makes for a more modern arrangement.

Another important consideration is the shade of yellow, from lemon chiffon to dark goldenrod. School-bus yellow gives an impression of youth and joy; a warm, golden shade denotes sophistication.

Creamy roses, which can range from $1 to $2 each for bridal-quality varieties, are the natural choice of yellow wedding flower for a classic bride wishing to bring a bit of sunlight to her once-in-a-lifetime day. Available year-round, they symbolize joy, happiness and friendship - the perfect qualities for a lifelong partnership. The look is perfect for spring, summer or autumn.

What better way to celebrate a beautiful summer day than with the vibrancy of sunflowers? These yellow wedding flowers, which can cost around $3.50 per stem, offer a big impression for the price when they're in season during the summer months; a single large sunflower can be the size of some bridesmaid bouquets.

Gerbera daisies usher in summer with a smile. They're perfect for casual outdoor weddings at about $2.50 per stem. Try tying them with a black and white gingham ribbon.

Daffodils are in season in the winter and spring, and are a timeless choice of yellow wedding flowers for a more casual or outdoor affair. They're also extremely inexpensive, at 50 cents to $1 per stem.
Modern, minimal yellow calla lilies are available year-round. Although expensive per stem at about $5 each, they make a big impact: brides need fewer flowers to make a lasting impression. Each bridesmaid can carry one stem; the bride may then carry several, loosely bound in silk or velvet ribbon. Black or dark brown velvet ribbon would look especially contemporary.

Tulips, available in the winter and spring, make for a romantic bouquet of yellow wedding flowers. At only about $1.25 per stem, their languid blossoms look lovely carried loose, but are made elegant in a tight, hand-tied bouquet.

Chrysanthemums and carnations are an inexpensive way to increase the size of a bouquet of yellow wedding flowers, while adding other colors to the mix. The former are available in the summer and fall; the latter are found year-round.

The use of neutral colors like black, white or russet shades will add contrast; alternately, greenery can be used in any bouquet of yellow wedding flowers.

Other yellow wedding flowers to consider include marigolds, snapdragons, black-eyed Susans, jonquils, honeysuckle, nasturtiums, zinnias and freesia.

To find the best prices on yellow wedding flowers, consider both local florists and the Internet.

When contacting local florists, be sure to get quotes for the same packages from at least a half-dozen companies, and ask to see examples of bouquets they've made. Many florists use stock photos from another company they contract with, like FTD; their own bouquets may dramatically differ in appearance. Costco also offers bulk flowers at great prices.

On websites like fiftyflowers.com, growersbox.com and theflowerexchange.com, brides can purchase flowers in bulk at a discount, and then assemble the bouquets themselves.

Once you have the colors picked out you then go from there, wedding invitations, decorations, bridesmaids' dresses and ... flowers. Once you have a color you want to find flowers that compliment the decorations, don't clash with your bridesmaid dresses and add an ounce of flair to the d?cor of the wedding.

Hydrangeas make great floral bouquets and come in several colors. They are also great for decorating table and such at the reception. They are in season from early spring to late autumn.

Veronica, blue streaks are a great flower for summer wedding. They are used more as an accent flower but at a great personality to the bouquets.

You can purchase wedding bouquets in a number of places. You can get them separately on eBay. You may also want to try mom and pop places like an amazing site that did my flowers, called Sun Spot Creations based out of Washington but they do ship. I was able to get the flowers I needed for under $100 with her. It all depends on what you are looking for.

Bridal Flowers is another shop to find real and silk flowers for wedding bouquets. Many local flowers shops will make wedding bouquets too it all depends on the flowers and time of year as too how much it will coast. If you get married when everyone else is (spring or summer) then expect to pay a little more. If you get married off season (winter) flowers won't be in such high demand. Don't write off silk flowers right away they are cheaper and sometimes prettier and last for years to come.
