Orchid bouquets and flower arrangements are becoming more and more popular with the announcement of Pantones color of the year. But it’s not just radiant orchid purple that is popular. White orchids, hot pink orchids, and blue orchids are making waves in the wedding industry. Brides are loving everything about the gorgeous and feminine colors and the luxury and boldness of the flower. Previously, orchids have been touted as a tropical only flower and generally scene at beach weddings or exotic destination weddings. This year, styled shoots and real weddings have been posted all over the internet full of pink and purple orchids with dashes of sparkle and glitter in silver or gold. Metallic details are swoon worthy when positioned next to the rich colors of orchid flowers. Orchids are no longer just for the beach. They are elegant, grand, luxurious, and drop dead gorgeous.
Bridal bouquets are perfect for orchids, especially for brides who prefer the cascading bouquet style. White and pink orchids, pink and purple orchids, or mixes of orchids and calla lily’s bring the radiant orchid theme to life.
