Flower ideas for a white wedding

It's interesting:
"After all, this wedding has given me the opportunity to meet many of Paul's ... And I hope, when they look back years from now on this, their wedding day, they ..."

The bride doesn't have to be the only thing in all white the day of a wedding. If you have dreamed of an all-white affair, it can be hard to decide what details to incorporate. Luckily, there are a variety of beautiful flowers, aside from roses, available in white that can complete the look of your bouquet and your centerpieces.

1. Orchids

   • For a beach or spring/summer wedding, white orchids are an excellent choice for both your bouquet and your centerpieces. While loose white orchids, or dendrobium, can be the standout part of your bouquet as you walk down the aisle, potted white orchids make an eye-pleasing centerpiece for your guest tables. These flowers given an island or Asian flair to a wedding, and when paired with all-white calla lilies, they can take your wedding from white to wow.

   Hydrangea

   • Available in all shades, white hydrangeas are perhaps the chicest for a garden wedding or those searching for a perfect complement to their all-white spring wedding. Hydrangeas are a full flower, and a little of them can go a long way, which makes them a good choice for a bouquet. Additionally, hydrangeas are a good choice for a centerpiece involving floating flowers in a tall, cylindrical, water-filled vase, as they soak up water well.

   Mums

   • Simple and a good choice for an all-white fall wedding, mums allow the bride to make a statement without being overshadowed. Mums come in 12 different varieties and, depending on the theme of your wedding, dainty mums like the spider mum (which has petals like that of a feather) can add a feminine touch to your affair. Paired with hydrangea, a centerpiece made of mums and shaped into ball-like tree forms, standing high off the table, can be stunning and cost-effective.

   Dahlias

   • The dahlia is a beautiful flower that is almost dainty in appearance. Dahlias bloom in July and continue to do so until the winter frost comes, making them a perfect choice for summer or fall weddings. The white dahlia can complement a wedding arrangement or stand out on its own in any bouquet or centerpiece. Full-bodied with lace-like petals, the dahlia is available in 16 different varieties, each with a bit of rare beauty that will make your white wedding stand out.
