Utah’s State Flower
Utah’s state flower, the sego lily, also known as the mariposa lily, is perfect to include in arrangements for Utah winter weddings at dozens of snowy ski lodges. Its three delicate white petals are etched with a red triangle set ablaze with yellow. Offset this state flower with red, yellow, and white roses or white calla lilies for a traditional winter bride’s bouquet that will stand out in photos taken against powdery Utah snow. The Ute Indians, from whom the state gets its name, showed Mormon pioneers that the sego lily’s root was edible and that the markings of its flowers give the illusion of a bouquet of butterflies.Wild West Wedding Flowers
Embracing the awesome rock formations of Southern Utah’s Wild West for your wedding festivities offers you grand views and sights to set your photos against. Complement these awesome arches and mysterious columns with flowers that mimic the red, orange, and even deep brown colors of the rock. Bright orange roses hand-wrapped in brown ribbon with bursts of the tiny red flowers of Utah’s claret cup cactus would give you Wild West floral arrangements that serve to enhance the already gorgeous landscape. Using native plants like sagebrush, strawberry cactus, and purple-fruited prickly pear cactus, you can create colorful cactus garden centerpieces with sandy bottoms and smooth canyon rocks that are artfully placed into western wedding arrangements that use local flora, can be taken home and, with a little love, kept by your guests for many years to come.Seeking Utah Wedding Florists
