Wedding orchids are definitely the kind of flower arrangement that enhances the atmosphere of cheerfulness and happiness in a wedding. They express thousand words of hope for a lifelong happy marriage between the new couple. The orchid type and color presented will speak for itself. And there is a wide range of choices that may convey your special wishes to the happy couple. Let us discuss about it.

Orchids can be presented in a wedding party in several ways. A bouquet is the most common presentation from friends, relatives or colleagues that wants to relay their supportive expression to the wedded couple. You can arrange a bouquet by a single orchid type or in combination of 2 – 3 types of orchids.

A single color or a color combination of orchids is also a good way to relay a message. The presence of a scented orchid will also enhance the value of elegance to your bouquet. However, most wedding bouquets use white orchids or the lighter or close to this white color.

Another arrangement of a bouquet is the combination of orchids with other flowers. Roses, lilacs, daisies and blue hydrangeas for instance are other types of flowers that could be combined in harmony with orchids. They relay some expression too, where roses convey love, lilacs and daisies communicate purity and innocence, while blue hydrangeas are best to suggest friendship and loyalty.

Common messages or wishes those are sent to a wedding couple are the hope of a new beginning and long lasting marriage, beauty of the bride and the hope of many children (especially in the Chinese community). Those wishes are indeed best represented by a white colored orchid.

The bride may hold a small bouquet of white orchids to enhance her beauty. And it does not stop at that point, since white orchids may be a reflection beyond looks such as the hope of a beautiful life which the couple is going to share together while enhancing the value of ceremonies and tradition practices of the bride and groom.

Aside from a bouquet, orchids are often used as a centerpiece in wedding ceremonies or receptions. It is put in the middle of a table to accentuate the flourishing joy and happiness in the reception room. Some requirement should be fulfilled as you wish to make a centerpiece of orchids. Again, choose the right orchid type, color and probably the scent that will best meet the purpose of your centerpiece arrangement.

Other arrangements are small bouquets on the dining table. A vas or bouquet of yellow flower combination will do best, since the yellow color is proven to increase appetite. Standing bouquets at some spots, especially near the standing bride and groom will also provide some special welcoming to the audience.

Orchids provide some advantages if considered as wedding flowers. Orchids are quite resistant to heat and humidity loss hence they are probably the best choice for summer weddings. They are available in a broad range of types and shapes as well as colors. There are some types that grow very high which could be a good choice for a centerpiece to gain the attention.

As orchids have many types, orchids are considered to be available the whole year long where you can always find an orchid type that blooms in a given time. Last but not least, orchid can be bought in bulk, which is very economical for a wedding organizer who needs to decorate the wedding reception room or venue with flowers.

The only shortcoming is their sensitivity to cold and their possibility to crush or drop its flower due to handling without care.
