Blue Centerpieces For Summer Weddings






Blue Centerpieces For Summer Weddings

Centerpieces most often are designed around flowers, and there are some stunning blue flowers available in the summertime. One of the most sought after flowers for weddings is the blue hydrangea. Blue hydrangeas evoke a breezy summer afternoon in Nantucket, and they are a wonderful addition to almost any style of wedding. The large blossoms look great when casually bunched in a tin pail or a white pitcher for a wedding on the beach or in a garden. Hydrangeas also look fantastic when paired with white roses and lime green orchids to create a fresh floral display for a more elegant affair.
For a more unique blue floral centerpiece, consider using the round fluffy flower allium. A staple of English gardens, allium comes in a range of shades of blue and lavender. Their distinctive long stem topped by a puff of petals makes allium a fun choice when you are looking for an eye-catching blue flower for a summer centerpiece. Just be aware that allium are related to onions, and so may have a bit of an oniony aroma; they are best used for outdoor weddings where the fresh air will make their scent less noticeable.

  1. Thank you very much dear for these ideas regarding summer centerpieces for blue weddings. The last one idea is out of this world. I would love to use these ideas for my own wedding reception party. Could you suggest some inexpensive Seattle Wedding venues too?
