When you are designing your wedding flowers, the first thing that probably comes to mind is fresh blossoms. It is true that fresh colors are wonderful, but they are not the only thing that can be used to create interesting and beautiful centerpieces and bridal bouquets. A fantastic way to add texture and visual interest to your wedding flowers is to incorporate dried natural elements.
There is an abundance of different dried elements that can be worked into wedding arrangements. Any florist will certainly be able to access a wide variety of dried seed pods, vines, branches, and more, but will the bride who wants to make her own centerpieces and bouquets. These items are widely available at craft stores and on the internet, along with the instructional materials to show you exactly how to work with them. This is great, because it can allow you to design floral arrangements for your wedding that are one-of-a-kind pieces, whether you work with a professional or make them yourself.
Many of the dried natural elements are found in soft shades of brown, wheat, and pale green, but not all. Even if you are not interested in a rustic color palette, you can still create wonderful displays using dried materials. One of the prettiest things to try is large bundles of dried lavender. It carries a lovely relaxing aroma, and has such a chic French country style. Large bunches of lavender can be arranged in tall blue and white porcelain vases to accent entry areas and the gift table for an elegant wedding. If your style is more relaxed, simple galvanized pails can be used to hold the aromatic dried flowers. This would be a nice detail to line the aisle for an outdoor wedding in the country.
More and more brides are finding the appeal of wedding details which have been handmade, whether it is their gown and jewelry, the invitations, or their bouquets. And yet, it can be intimidating to think about making your own wedding bouquets, so many brides who attempt it will end up creating very basic arrangements. However, dried natural elements are so easy to use that almost any bride can learn to incorporate them into her bouquet. For autumn, you could make a wonderful bouquet using mums in shades of russet and orange, combined with dried preserved mini-sunflowers and stalks of natural wheat. So simple, yet so pretty and autumnal.
Dried natural elements can be wonderful accents for an outdoor wedding. Not only can they go into centerpieces, but they can be strung in trees, on barn rafters, and formed into sweet wreaths. A simple wreath made of dried grapevine would be a nice welcoming touch at the ceremony of a bride wearing a linen dress and unique handmade wedding jewelry. Or create your own arbor using grapevine and bark covered wire. Add in some fat garden roses or wildflowers for the perfect background in which to exchange your wedding vows.
There are also dramatic dried lotus pods, pine cones, dried rose petals, and all sorts of other natural elements just waiting to be included in your wedding. These interesting dried pieces give your wedding centerpieces and bouquets a wonderful natural earthy quality with fantastic visual appeal.
