Perfect Flowers For Hot Weather Weddings
Couples planning a summer wedding in Arizona understand there are many obstacles ahead of them, not the least of which is the desert heat. Arizona weddings though bring with them beauty and the almost certain guarantee of bright sunshine. If you’re planning your Arizona wedding an item you need to keep in mind are the types of flowers you will choose for your bouquets and for the church and reception hall.
Bear in mind that when you’re stepping into a florist’s shop, the flowers you see are in climate-controlled conditions and therefore they are beautiful and colorful. Your flowers, though will have to leave their air-conditioned comfort and travel to and from the shop to the church and wedding reception venue and the arid Arizona sunshine could make them wilt within in minutes.
Here are some hot weather wedding flower ideas to keep your blooms beautiful throughout the day:
• An obvious non-wilting choice would be to choose silk flowers which are impervious to anything Mother Nature can throw at your wedding party. Today’s silk flowers are so well-made that they are difficult to distinguish from real flowers. While many brides remain purists and want their wedding flowers to be natural, a silk bouquet will survive hot weather and remain a long-cherished keepsake.
• Lilies, for all of their delicate beauty, are able to withstand hot, tropical climates and calla and mini lilies make for beautiful wedding day flowers. They are not prone to wilting or fading and are also available in myriad colors to suit almost any wedding color scheme.
• Using tropical flowers are an option for wedding flower bouquets and table decorations that will survive the heat of the day and remain fresh-looking all day long.
• In-season flowers are a perfect – and less costly choice – for hot weather weddings. Ask your florist what kind of flowers are available and naturally thrive in the area. A couple of natural choices could be daisies or sunflowers and while they are not as formal as lilies, they are flowers that would easily survive a hot weather wedding. Natural floral choices are also great for couples on a budget.
Search for wilt-free flowers and work with your florist to choose blooms that will make your wedding day shine and those that will last well into the evening at your wedding reception.
