Halloween Wedding Part II

Your Halloween Wedding Flowers
Flowers add romance and beauty to any wedding, but can really have a flair with a Halloween Wedding!

If you can afford it - go with tropical flowers. A hanging bird fo paradise in your bouquet would be stunning against a black dress. In the bouquet you could use bird of paradise, calla lilies, mini Antheriums and Asiatic lilies. These flowers come in red, orange and yellow.

For a traditional bouquet, go with roses. Roses come in red, orange and yellow and some are variegated red/yellow. For the Halloween Wedding theme event, you can also have your florist use yellow roses tipped in black. Or go all the way and as the florist to paint white roses black. This can also be done with carnations for a lower price if your budget is tight or you just don't care for roses.

The Groom and Attendant Flowers
Keeping to the Halloween Wedding Theme, if your bouquet is tropical, using Calla lilies, the groom and his attendants can all use mini Calla lilies for their boutineers in colors to compliment their partner in the wedding party. Your attendants could use mini Calla lilies, mini Antheriums, Asiatic lilies, or a combination. Talk to your florist about this.

Traditionally you have the largest bouquet, then your maid or matron ohf honor, and the smallest bouquets to the bridesmaids. To really save, you could have your attendants carry a single flower like a bird of paradise or a full size Antherium.

If you decide on roses, again use the color(s) to contrast your dress and those of your attendants, that way the photos of your special day will be stunning - showing each detail of Your Special Day!

Keep tuned for part III - The Halloween Wedding Reception
