An Exotic Choice: Orchid Wedding Bouquet

When a bride is planning all the aspects of her wedding, choosing the best wedding bridal bouquet to match her dress and the wedding colors is very important. In some cases, the bride will want to use the flowers that are traditionally chosen for that month of the year. In other cases, she might choose the flowers based on her favorite type of flower. One particularly nice choice in wedding bouquets is orchids. There are many different varieties of orchids that can be used in wedding bouquets so that the colors of the wedding can be matched. These orchid wedding bouquets are not found as often in weddings because they usually are more expensive than using other flowers, but the outcome of the bouquets is usually exquisite.

Options

One option in an orchid wedding bouquet is to use green cymbidium orchids in it. These orchids are very exotic looking, and are indeed a greenish color. However, the greenish color is not all the color in these unique flowers. There is also a white and purple part of the flower that is highlighted by the green majority of the flower and makes it a fresh looking arrangement in an orchid wedding bouquet.

Another type of orchid wedding bouquet is the vanda orchid. The vanda orchids are smaller than the cymbidium, and are often growing one over the other on the stem. These orchids make a full bouquet and look especially nice when highlighted with some simple greenery at the base of the bouquet. The flowers have a soft pink color to them and are a perfect accent to a cream colored dress.

There are also options in orchid wedding bouquets to mix types of orchids within it. One of these is to use a cymbidium orchid as the centerpiece of the bouquet, using two or three flowers which are a soft pink or purple color in most cases. Then the centerpiece is surrounded with a cascading flow of white dendrobium spray orchids that create a waterfall effect in this cascading bouquet. The addition of ferns or other greenery also helps to highlight the exotic look of this orchid wedding bouquet.

Another simple orchid wedding bouquet is an arrangement of white dendrobium orchids which have a white and yellow coloring to them. These flowers tend to grow in a natural spray which looks wild and beautiful when simply tied together with a ribbon, thus creating an orchid wedding bouquet with nothing but the flowers.
