Los Angeles Wedding Venue Tips:
Summer Wedding Flowers

Wedding flowers allow you to truly customize and personalize your Los Angeles wedding venue, whether it’s in an indoor or outdoor setting. Whether you’re hosting a traditional, ethnic or contemporary wedding, floral arrangements allow you to add more color and set more of a mood than any other aspect of your wedding décor, with the exception of possibly selecting your Los Angeles wedding venue or hall.

It is important, however, to conceptualize your total wedding backdrop and incorporate all of the other design elements that will exist during your wedding into your floral arrangements. One mistake is to design a floral theme simply for the floral theme, without considering the other interior design elements that will interact with your flowers as a backdrop for your wedding photos. Here are a few tips to follow when planning your wedding flowers and design.

Stick with Classic Wedding Flowers

This is not by any means meant to read “stay conservative.” Rather, keeping with a few classic wedding flower options will ensure you achieve an air of traditional beauty, whether you are going for a modern wedding motif or classic. Also, classic flower options tend to carry a bit of symbolism that will go over well on your reception guests. Here are a few timeless options to consider and some of what they generally symbolize.

Gardenias: Joy or happiness.
Orchids: Love and passion.
Lilacs: New life, spring, love.
Anemone: Expectation, commitments
Lilly of the Valley: Beauty, happiness.

Wedding Colors

It’s great to accent your wedding colors with your floral arrangements, but be sure not to overdo mono-chromatic themes. In other words, if your wedding colors are blue and purple, don’t simply stick to cold colored flowers. You need to accent your colors and oftentimes this is done by choosing opposite colors as a backdrop. For instance, bright yellows, oranges and greens can create a really warm backdrop to make your blues and purples of wedding party outfits really pop in your photos.

Create Color Backdrops

Along these lines, it’s important to think photo-first when arranging your wedding flowers. Creating colorful backdrops in multiple locations gives your wedding photographer more to work with.

Don’t Forget about the Venue

Make sure the colors, themes and architecture of your Los Angeles banquet hall, reception hall or outdoor venue is considered before choosing your flower arrangements. This will allow you to better-compliment your photos and really make them teem with color, as well as leaving a striking impression on your guests as they enter your reception.
