One of the most noticeable things at a wedding, aside from the bride and groom, are the flowers. The flowers signify beauty and radiance and bring a touch of elegance to the day. The flowers that are chosen to represent the statement of the couple being married is a very serious decision to decide upon, and orchids are a perfect choice for the occasion. Because they have such a wide variety of species and colors to pick from, an orchid bouquet really is the best option.
Orchids are very flexible and a great all-round flower which is why it can be used in very many ways for a wedding. The first use it should have is as the bouquet. The particular features which the orchid possesses that make it a magnificent flower as a wedding bouquet are its fragrance and its colors. Because the flowers at a wedding are going to be close to the guests’ noses for the duration of the day, these two qualities are crucial in making the right choice. It’s always possible that some guests may have allergies and a strongly scented flower may not suit for this reason, but many orchids have a very subtle scent.
Another good reason to use orchids is because of what they symbolically represent. For example, the magnolia stands for dignity and the marigold stands for affection. The red tulip stands for belief and the water lily stands for eloquence. And orchids stand for beauty, magnificence, love and refinement. These are the characteristics that should be expressed at any wedding and will highlight the true significance of the relationship between the bride and the groom. With all the beautiful qualities of a wedding, an orchid is the only true choice of flower.
The other great use of an orchid at a wedding is as the centerpiece for all the tables. As it is possible that a few guests may suffer allergies to strong scents, there are several reasons that an orchid is the best choice to use as the centerpiece display. First, orchids are quite sturdy plants, and although they are susceptible to the cold and can bruise if not handled with care, they can withstand high temperatures and go without water for long periods of time. For a wedding being planned for the summer this is very good news indeed. Secondly, orchids are available all year round. Probably the most striking benefit the orchid has over other flowers is its sheer size – some can grow up to 32 inches (81 centimeters) – and this would certainly showcase the centerpiece to its full advantage.
Orchids can be bought in bulk and a good tip to save money for the wedding is to approach the grower directly. This will help lower your costs and in many of cases, you could have the orchids delivered on the morning of the special day. If orchids have been chosen for the main flower arrangements, then this would be very much recommended.
