Good wedding flowers are delicate looking, but not actually that fragile. It will withstand the summer heat and look terrific doing it. You have enough worries and stresses on your wedding day, flowers should definitely not be one of them, so select hardy flowers from the very beginning and you’ll be able to focus on more important things, like actually getting married.
What are some of the characteristics to seek in heat-resistant wedding bouquets.
Thick, waxy petals are best. They tend to be stiffer and hold the moisture in longer than thinner petals, which tend to shrivel and wilt in the heat. The thicker the petal, the stiffer it will be, making it more resistant to wilting.
Inflexible leaves aid in heat resistance also. Leaves contain most of the moisture that can be absorbed up to the bloom, and this greenery helps enhance the color of the wedding flowers. Shriveled leaves make the entire bouquet sickly looking, so thicker, waxier leaves are the best option.
Heavier stems will help to keep flowers upright. The FTD florist can place flower stems in plastic straws to help keep them upright. But the heat may threaten to send them drooping downwards, so, it’s best to choose the right flowers with sturdy, thick stems that are strong enough to stand up even when slightly dry and wilting.
Full blooms will most likely stay fresh longer. Small flowers that aren’t just a few little petals will last longer. Look for ruffled petals or multiple rounds, such as with the mums and carnations. These two flowers do very well with holding in the moisture needed to survive on a very hot day, even when not placed in a vase of water.
If money is no problem, tropical flowers tend to be far better than our native blooms when it comes to withstanding the hot interior of a church or hot reception hall. They are grown in heat, so you’ll find that they are quite hardy when it comes to summer weddings. Most of the tropical flowers are very gorgeous as well, so they make for very lovely wedding bouquets and centerpieces.
Flowers such as orchids, lilies and dahlias are all great choices for wedding flowers. They withstand the heat very well and can take long dry periods, thanks to their hardy leaves and petals that retain moisture even in conditions that are far from perfect.
Your florist at www.myflowers-on-line.com will also be able to recommend a more heat resistant wedding flower or two. The ideal would be a flower that you love the look of, which combines beauty with functionality. For a summer wedding, how well the flowers will stand up to the heat is a very important consideration. There is nothing more stressful on your wedding day than discovering that all your blooms are wilting away in the intense heat.
Pick out your wedding flower carefully. You won’t want flowers that look terrible by the time you are ready to take that walk down the aisle. Tropical flowers, those with waxy, thick petals and leaves and flowers that are bush-like and full of petals tend to be a good choice, and will look great throughout all day.
