Think about using white wedding flowers to unify other flowers or draw different elements of your wedding together. Types of white flowers like Magnolias will add romance and softness to your arrangements, your corsages and your boutonnieres. A single flower arrangement, such as one made with Snowball blooms, is both simple and elegant.
Tonal arrangements are especially striking when using white or ivory, so think about using similar flower shapes like Mock Orange and Dogwood blossoms to create a beautiful bridal bouquet. Hydrangeas could provide an exact match to a bridal dress and the large flowers would make a dazzling bouquet. White wedding flowers can also create a pearly backdrop for your accent flowers. For a Christmas wedding think about a single Poinsettia arranged in a snowy scene of Mock Orange.
Bunny Tails and Butterfly Bush will add a sense of drama and sophistication to your ceremony or reception decorations. Ornamental Pear, Flowering Almond, or Crabapple would all be excellent types of white flowers to highlight a spring wedding. Morning Glories have a nice open bloom which would be a nice accent to more tropical flowers.
White wedding flowers with a black accent will add a truly formal air to your wedding. Paired with any pastel shade, white will bring softness and romance. Ivory shades will tone down the more jewel tones, while white will add to their brilliance. Strong colors like navy blues and maroon take on a deeper, more defined color when paired with white.
White wedding flowers bring virtue and innocence to your wedding. With such a long list of white flowers to choose from, checking with a florist or nursery would be a good idea to help you narrow down all your options. A professional will know which white wedding flowers will compliment your other flower choices and which will be in season for your wedding. Look at bridal magazines and garden books to get an idea of what white can do for other flowers or on its own.
White wedding flowers may be traditional, but that does not mean you can't find a unique use for them in your wedding. Review the list of white flowers and consider how you can use the ever-versatile white wedding flowers in all of your do-it-yourself wedding floral and decoration projects.
