Yellow bridal bouquet: choice of flowers and their combinations
If we discard all the prejudices about infidelity and parting in connection with a bouquet of yellow flowers that exist among our fellow citizens, then we must admit that there are few wedding compositions that can compete with this truly sunny color. Any weather on the day of the celebration, be it at least three times cloudy, will become brighter if the bride has a yellow wedding bouquet in her hands.
Color symbolism
Yellow color, along with red and blue, is the main color for florists for the selection of various compositions. And none of the experts will call yellow flowers a symbol of betrayal or separation. On the contrary, this color personifies the warmth of personal relationships between two lovers, sincerity and tenderness of mutual feelings, and also prophesies their future marriage a successful and prosperous sailing in a joint boat called life.
After all, everything logically boils down to this:
- yellow color and its shades are close to the solar set, that is, to the light of warmth;
- people are accustomed to lighting in houses and on the streets, and most of it also has a yellow tint (even in stores, the light of ordinary bulbs is called "warm");
- yellow color carries with it a positive charge, invigorates, improves mood, infuses vitality and intensifies activity.
It is not for nothing that in the countries of the East, yellow colors symbolize life without worries and sorrows, in wealth and fun. And for many other countries, yellow is a symbol of abundance, prosperity and good luck.
Peculiarities
It is worth warning that the yellow bridal bouquet will be perceived ambiguously among the guests and relatives who arrived at the celebration. Someone has a thoroughly prejudice of its alleged negative meaning.Therefore, the decision of the young to choose just such a bouquet is, in fact, a rather extraordinary act, which characterizes them as a completely independent couple, since they have given such an accent to their main celebration of life. After all, they probably prepared a few more wedding attributes, similar in shades to the color of the bouquet. It will most likely be something from the bride's jewelry, in her outfit or the suit of the groom.
Perhaps the decoration of the wedding venue also contains yellow elements: balls and ribbons, curtains on the windows, tablecloths on tables, dishes or a car donated by relatives. Everything should look in harmony and fit in style.
With such a bouquet, the bride's dress should be either snow-white or contrasting with the yellow tones. Such fashionable recently beige or cream dresses are definitely not suitable, since with a bright bouquet the outfit will not seem to be the main attribute of the celebration, and with a more shaded tone of the bouquet, on the contrary, the flowers will become an inconspicuous detail. In addition to dazzling white, the following dress colors are suitable:
- blue with all shades from pale to rich;
- red, but only saturated tones, not pale;
- bright green colors;
- black, but not dull.
It becomes obvious that dresses of other basic tones (except for beige and cream), but with the same brightness and saturation as the bouquet, will look good with a bright yellow bouquet. And a monochromatic bouquet should be only bright - no halftones and medium shades. Or, you will need to choose a composition of yellow with plants of other types and shades suitable for it.
Combination with other tones
When choosing other colors for yellow for a wedding bouquet, you should know some rules for their combination. In floristry, there are three main colors:
- Red;
- blue;
- yellow.
If the bouquet consists only of yellow flowers, then it is perceived as such. If you mix them with red, then such a composition is generally perceived by the eyes as orange. All these shades - orange, red and yellow - are warm, active. These bouquets stand out from many others.
Therefore, red flowers can be chosen for a mixed bouquet with yellow ones.
Blue with yellow creates a contrasting composition with a certain shade of coldness. In bouquets with yellow, there is a good combination of purple, blue, blue and lilac flowers. But here the choice must be careful, since not all types of flowers of the named tones can create a wedding mood and maintain the necessary harmony of the composition.
Bright yellow flowers in a mixed bouquet with white ones look perfect. White is a neutral color, so it goes well with all tones, midtones and even with different colors in bouquets.
With his presence, he emphasizes the sunshine of the yellow color, its warmth and wealth.
Useful Tips
