The wedding is one of the main events in the life of the bride and groom, because it is on this day that they become a family. Every girl dreams that the celebration will be perfect, so you need to think over everything to the smallest detail. Of course, the main points are purchasing a dream dress, ordering a restaurant, choosing a photographer and a host. However, great attention should be paid to the little things. The appearance of the newlyweds should be harmonious. Beautiful jewelry, makeup, hair, shoes and, of course, a bouquet are important. This article discusses options for wedding bouquets in Marsala color.
Meaning and symbolism
Marsala color has become popular relatively recently, but has already taken pride of place in the wardrobe of many fashionistas. Gradually, the fashion for the shade began to move from clothes and shoes to other items, including flowers. A burgundy bouquet can rarely be found as a wedding bouquet, but if the bride nevertheless decides to carry it in her hands, admiring glances are guaranteed to her. As a rule, flowers convey the inner state of a couple. This shade of wedding flowers will tell about sensual passion and love.
The Italian word "marsala" comes from Sicily. He was named one of the varieties of strong wine, which is made in these parts. This color is a combination of burgundy and terracotta shades, embodying a storm of emotions, luxury and royalty. The tone is perfectly combined with other colors, the main thing is that they do not compete with it for attention. White, pink, beige are perfect for a pair. For a rich baroque wedding, a combination of Marsala with black and gold tones will be appropriate.
Florists consider this color to be a great option for a wedding held in the fall or winter. It is also suitable for a summer event, but only at the very end of this time of the year. If the bride wants a spring wedding, then the shade will have to be diluted with lighter and lighter colors. By the way, not every representative of the fair sex will suit a bouquet of this color scheme. As a rule, it looks organic in the hands of bright brides with dark hair and fair skin. It is also suitable for red-haired ladies, but only for owners of a cold shade of hair.
Marsala is usually chosen by brides with a strong character and passionate nature. Such a girl clearly knows what she wants from the future with her chosen one, is a self-confident person. The internal state in the mood of such girls plays an important role.
Song options
As a rule, the bouquet is collected from natural flowers. Girls who prefer the color of Marsala should pay attention to the presence of a wide variety of its shades. Each of them is good in its own way and is found in a certain type of plant.
The list of options is very wide:
- Tulip;
- orchid;
- the Rose;
- calla lilies;
- pion;
- hydrangea;
- Carnation;
- ranunculus.
If burgundy is not enough, you can add berries, leaves or artificial decor to the bouquet. By the way, florists, at the request of the bride, can paint any artificial flower in the desired shade. Let's talk about some live colors in more detail.
Peonies
A bouquet of peonies is one of the most common options. A big plus in this case is the delicate appearance of even large buds. Burgundy peonies are also a symbol of emotions, passion and love, but this is not a storm and a hurricane, but calmness, comfort and warmth. Such flowers are self-sufficient, while they go well with other species. The democratic cost, especially in spring and summer, prompts many brides to give preference to peonies. To create a Chanel-style look, you can take white peonies and add burgundy calla lilies or hydrangeas to them.
The downside of the color composition can only be fragility. Peonies quickly wrinkle and fade, so you should be very careful when using them for a wedding bouquet. Moreover, you should not throw it to your girlfriends. There will simply be nothing left of the bouquet after the "battle". Alternatively, you can purchase two bouquets at once, one of which will be designed specifically for throwing girls into the crowd of girls who want to get married. Another convenient option is a bouquet of artificial buds.
Orchids
The orchid has long been considered a symbol of fertility, luxury, prosperity and passionate love. Marsala is the perfect shade for this species. A beautifully decorated bouquet with burgundy orchids is a real work of art. The external fragility of the plant is deceiving. Orchid is a fairly persistent flower, it will look flawless from morning to evening.
Florists recommend placing the lower part of the composition in a special capsule and covering it with lace or a bow for aesthetics. This will help the bouquet stay fresh even longer. Orchids go well with other flowers such as lilies or roses. A great option would be a combination of burgundy and white orchids.
Roses
When buying a wedding bouquet, brides often choose roses, which is quite natural, because this classic flower is a symbol of love. In modern flower shops you can find a huge variety of varieties of this species. A bouquet of burgundy roses symbolizes deep passion, dignity and reverent attitude of partners to each other. For a small wedding, small and medium buds are suitable, which will emphasize the sophistication of the bride. In the event of a crowded celebration and the choice of a magnificent dress, it is recommended to take larger varieties so that the bouquet is not lost against the background of other details.
As a supplement, you can pick up white roses, which symbolize tenderness and loyalty. Such flowers will be easy to combine and look harmoniously with any other options. That is why many florists consider the rose to be a universal and win-win choice if the bride finds it difficult to decide.
Decor
A variety of floral decor items can be used as additional accessories. It is better to wrap the lower part of the bouquet with a beautiful ribbon and tie it with a bow. Some brides leave long ribbons to flutter in the wind. Shiny rhinestones will be a great addition; they can be glued to the wrapper of the bouquet.
For originality, you can add something more interesting, for example, feathers, styrofoam figures. You can plant an artificial butterfly on one of the flowers. The decorative ribbon can be replaced with a string of pearls, it will add tenderness to the bride's image.
A bouquet for a winter wedding will be perfectly complemented by fir branches and berries. The color of the accessories can be either burgundy or any other. Optimum is white, which can slightly dilute the rich marsala.
Combination of shades
Some brides are afraid to buy a Marsala-dominated wedding bouquet, although they really like the color. In such a situation, a combination of a juicy shade with others will help. However, it is important to correctly choose the combination of tones so that the image is harmonious.
Marsala is a self-contained shade, therefore, it is not recommended to insert other bright colors such as yellow or bright red into the bouquet. Here, soft and gentle tones are suitable, which will only emphasize the saturation of the burgundy. Among light shades, beige, ivory and champagne will be optimal complements. They will make the bouquet look lighter and more organic.
Another tone that perfectly complements wine is pink. Peach is no less good in such a company. Flowers of these shades will give the bouquet a romantic look, it will combine warmth and sensuality. Some brides choose several shades at once, smoothly moving from rich marsala to pale pink or white. This accessory looks not only stylish, but also very feminine.
For a luxurious event, a Marsala-colored bouquet with a gold frame is suitable. These two shades perfectly complement each other and add a special chic to the look.
The bouquet looks very beautiful, from under the buds of which dark green leaves peep out. They give the composition a special appeal. In winter, the leaves can be replaced with coniferous branches.
Florists' recommendations
When decorating a wedding bouquet, florists advise focusing on the scale of the celebration and the style of the dress. It is advisable to compose the image of the future wife in the most restrained style without unnecessary details, so that the bouquet does not visually have competitors. If the bride wants to look elegant, calla lilies and marsala orchids are ideal. Peonies and roses, preferably spray roses, are suitable for a passionate look. You should first study the properties of plants and, just in case, have a spare bouquet if the buds wither.
A little shade of Marsala is recommended to be applied to the bride's face and hair. Light eye shadows or wine-colored lipstick and a pair of invisible burgundy flowers will perfectly complement the wedding look and make it one-piece.
Whatever bouquet the bride chooses, the main attributes of any wedding celebration are still happy smiles and sparkle in the eyes of the newlyweds. After all, dress, jewelry, restaurant and other things are secondary. Only the love of the bride and groom is important, which prompted them to create a new unit of society.
