When planning your wedding, it’s important to plan every detail from wedding signs<\/a> to poems for your wedding vows<\/a>, but what’s even more important to have a theme which runs through the decor and the clothing of the bridal party in order to give the proceedings a uniform and pleasing aesthetic. There are, of course, unlimited themes to choose from – from the simple one colour theme to the more wacky choices such as Harry Potter or Star Wars. In this article, however, we\u2019re talking about bringing natural beauty to your special day with wildflower wedding themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are wildflowers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Increasingly popular in the UK, wildflowers are naturally occuring flowers which can be identified by their bright colour and cheerful, small blooms. Known to be pretty as a picture – and great for the environment – wildflowers are a trend which is set to continue through 2024 and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wildflowers are easy to grow and come in a wide variety of colours including some stunning pastel shades which lend themselves perfectly to wedding decor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you fancy adding a bit of wildflower charm to your big day, we\u2019re sharing some themes to help you on your way: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just a touch of wildflower magic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For those looking to add a subtle touch of wildflower magic to their wedding, there are some great ideas which will allow you to do this without attracting the bee population from miles around and, some of these are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Elegant motifs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Simple but effective, you can get in on the wildflower action by adding a simple but stunning wildflower motif to your wedding decor, stationery, linens and clothing. As this example shows, it\u2019s possible to infuse your wedding with these delightful flowers without going over the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Perfect placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, you don\u2019t necessarily have to run the theme throughout your entire wedding. Bowls of wildflowers placed on your wedding tables can add elegance and style and, even better, they tend to be vastly cheaper than other types of floral arrangements when it comes to weddings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can also be extended to the bouquets carried by the bride and bridesmaids as well as the groom and groomsmen\u2019s boutonnieres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A walk on the wild (flower) side<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to go for a bolder look with your wildflower theme, we\u2019ve got a few ideas for that too: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Red<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As we\u2019ve mentioned, wildflowers come in a wide range of colours including some eye popping red shades and, while a red themed wedding might not be everybody\u2019s cup of tea, these shades can be great for making a statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not try a theme of crisp white with a bold single red wildflower for a wedding aesthetic that won\u2019t be forgotten in a hurry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, a theme made up of multiple tiny red wildflowers can offer the perfect combination of pretty and bold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Blue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From the palest of pale to deep indigo, blue wildflowers add a classy touch to your big day and will also tick the \u2018something blue\u2019 box for the bride !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

White<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

While we tend to think of wildflowers being brightly coloured, that is very much not always the case. Traditionalists may be happy to learn that wildflowers are also widely available in pure white. These can be used by themselves for a clean and beautiful aesthetic or teamed with oh-so-pale pink or blue shades to add depth and interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wildflower wedding bouquets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering a wildflower wedding theme, you will, of course, want to include the wedding party flowers including the bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids and the groom and groomsmen\u2019s boutonnieres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is possible to use wildflowers for bouquets, it’s best to mix these with other larger flowers due to the usually small size of most wildflowers. For the best results, you might want to bulk up your bouquets with traditional roses and then use wildflowers to create a contrasting effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wildflower wedding themes – what not to do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve made it this far, you\u2019ll have seen that we\u2019ve shared tons of great ideas for your wildflower themed wedding and so, it\u2019s only right that we now share a few things to avoid: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tread carefully with red<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve mentioned that red can very much be a great colour for your theme but, as the saying goes, all in moderation. If you\u2019re going with white laced with red wildflowers you\u2019ll want to ensure that your wedding doesn\u2019t end looking like an episode of Dexter. It’s always a really good idea to test run your ideas before committing to them to avoid making an embarrassing mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get too busy with your wildflowers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wildflowers can add a burst of pretty pastel colour to your wedding – but try not to get carried away. Going overboard with the wildflower goodness can end up looking chintzy and old fashioned (and not in a good way). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fresh is best<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although wildflowers can certainly add a really pretty touch to your wedding, they do tend to wilt very quickly – particularly in warm weather. For this reason, you should make sure that your wedding flowers for bouquets and boutonnieres are freshly made on the morning of the wedding. Alternatively, you can now get some really realistic artificial wildflowers which will go the distance on your wedding day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A beautiful day and memories for a lifetime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A wildflower wedding theme is one which will suit pretty much any time of year – and more importantly, it’s a theme that won\u2019t date too badly. As we\u2019ve mentioned in this article, there are a number of different ways that you can add wildflower magic to your wedding and, if you\u2019re using fresh flowers, don\u2019t forget to have them dried afterwards to preserve them along with your precious memories. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
