Add A Touch Of Splendor To Your Wedding With Orchids

By Freida Lamb


Orchids have long been a favourite choice for inclusion in a wedding bouquet. They were once a sign of wealth and status. Nowadays they are much more affordable. If brides would like a bouquet of orchids Los Angeles florists will easily accommodate their wishes. Although not as expensive as they once were, these magnificent flowers still exude an air of luxury and refinement.

Brides can choose from several different species for their wedding requirements. The cymbidium has large flower-heads that may be pink, white, pale green or yellow. The waxy petals do not wilt easily making them an ideal choice for a summer wedding.

The dendrobium or Singapore orchid has a more delicate appearance. It is commonly mixed with other flowers and is most often seen in white and purple. Less common are the Vanda and Phalaenopsis species. These are more expensive but are also more exclusive and not seen as often. Phalaenopsis is available in some stunning pink and purple shades.

Flower heads laid on the reception tables are an instant if simple decoration. The blooms also look very attractive if floated in a large, flat container. Other options are to place them in vases around the reception area, in containers of pebbles or polished stones, wound round candelabras or placed in candle holders.

Love, elegance and beauty are symbolized by the orchid. For a themed wedding, the flower adds an exotic touch. The white Phalaenopsis has a strong association with elegance and tradition. Orchids themselves can be used as the theme. An appropriate colour can be chosen and matching stationery such as invitations, place cards and thank you cards purchased. Even the bridesmaids' headpieces can incorporate the blooms as can the corsages for the family of those getting married.

Fresh, silk or icing blooms would enhance any wedding cake. Flowers made from icing can be tinted to match the chosen colour scheme. If looking for Orchids Los Angeles florists will be pleased to help.
