white orchid wedding centerpiece
Flowers set the theme of your wedding and are at the center of attention. Here are several suggestions on how to create a beautiful flower setting and make your wedding reception memorable.
Different Shapes
Tree-like topiaries and potted plants can serve as centerpieces and give the reception a garden feel. Flowering branches from cherry blossoms can be placed in tall vases to add drama and height to your tables. Also consider incorporating non-floral elements like stones, feathers, berries, and crystals to add interest and depth.
Go Navy
One of the hottest colors on the 2009 wedding palette is the sophisticated color of navy. Naturally navy flowers may be hard to come by, but there are some options that are a close match: deep blue violets, thistles, and hydrangea are available in various shades of blue and indigo. Roses can also be dyed navy blue. Pair these bold navy blooms with white or ivory for a classic or maritime look, or yellow or orange (complementary color) for a bright burst of color.
Get Bold
Use brightly colored napkins and table linens to play up even brighter floral arrangements. This daring combination of bright-on-bright creates a stunning, eye-catching contrast. Think hot magenta, peacock blue or royal purple linens will give you a rich, luxurious look and pair them with bold blooms like yellow gerbera daisies, orange dahlias, and purple orchids.
Color
It Here’s a creative do it yourself idea. Consider wrapping plain containers in pretty fabrics to match your wedding colors and place your reception flowers in these containers. You can also choose different patterns in the same colors, or go with similar patterns (say, all stripes) in a range of hues.
Beyond the Vase
Instead of the basic floral vase for holding your flowers, try mixing and matching clusters of unique containers like, mason jars, pitchers, and uniquely shaped vases to add interest and reflect your wedding theme. Some ideas: Fill watering cans with wild flowers for a garden affaire, or use apothecary jars filled with sand and sea glass to complement an ocean front wedding.
Go Green
Bring the outdoors in with natural objects like stones, pinecones, berries, leaves, and twigs. They add a natural ambiance to your reception. These can be placed in rustic containers or scattered among pillar candles.
Personalize It
A hand tied bouquet of fresh flowers continues to be the most popular bouquet style. It offers the look of simple elegance. Brides can personalize their flowers by incorporating unique items into their bouquets. Their bouquets can be embellished with brooches, pins, and crystal picks. Reception centerpieces can be personalized to create a conversation piece for guests. For example wine lovers can use wine bottles and decanters as centerpiece holders.
No Corsage
Forgo the corsages and instead have moms carry nosegays down the aisle. Or if it is a tropical island wedding consider having them wear fragrant and colorful leis.
Unique ideas for flowers can make your wedding reception special and memorable. Use the ideas to create a beautiful setting.

The Ghost Orchid $3.98 In her enthralling novels of literary suspense, Carol Goodman writes stories that resonate with emotion set in lush landscapes that entice the senses. Now, with The Ghost Orchid, a narrative that seamlessly weaves together the past and the present, Goodman creates her most lyrical and haunting work to date. For more than one hundred years, creative souls have traveled to Upstate New York to work under the captivating spell of the Bosco estate. Cradled in silence, inspired by the rough beauty of overgrown gardens and crumbling statuary, these chosen few fashion masterworks–and have cemented Bosco’s reputation as a premier artists’ colony. This season, five talented artists-in-residence find themselves drawn to the history of Bosco, from the extensive network of fountains that were once its centerpiece but have long since run dry to the story of its enigmatic founder, Aurora Latham, and the series of tragic events that occurred more than a century ago.Ellis Brooks, a first-time novelist, has come to Bosco to write a book based on Aurora and the infamous summer of 1893, when wealthy, powerful Milo Latham brought the notorious medium Corinth Blackwell to the estate to help his wife contact three of the couple’s children, lost the winter before in a diphtheria epidemic. But when a séance turned deadly, Corinth and her alleged accomplice, Tom Quinn, disappeared, taking with them the Lathams’ only surviving child. The more time she spends at Bosco, the more Ellis becomes convinced that there is an even darker, more sinister end to the story. And she’s not alone: biographer Bethesda Graham uncovers stunning revelations about Milo and Corinth; landscape architect David Fox discovers a series of hidden tunnels underneath the gardens; poet Zalman Bronsky hears the long-dry fountain’s waters beckoning him; and novelist Nat Loomis feels something lingering just out of reach.After a bizarre series of accidents befalls them, the group cannot deny the connections between the long ago and now, the living and the dead . . . as Ellis realizes that the tangled truth may ensnare them all in its cool embrace. |

Wild Orchid $8.48 Shortlisted for Canadian Library Association Young Adult Book of the Year Award 2007 Manitoba Young Readers’ Choice Award nominee 2007 Saskatchewan Young Readers’ Choice Willow Awards nominee Canadian Children’s Book Centre Our Choice Starred Selection White Pine nominee, 2007 McNally Robinson announced that Wild Orchid was one of the top five best selling books in Saskatechewan in 2006. Taylor Jane Simon is 18 years old and spending the summer with her mother in Prince Albert National Park. The holiday has been planned so Taylor’s mother can spend time with her latest boyfriend, Danny, and work in the pizza restaurant near the park that Danny runs. Taylor would just as soon stay at home in Saskatoon, but because she suffers from an autistic condition called Asperger’s Syndrome, she can’t stay on her own. Taylor’s mother encourages her daughter to explore the park’s possibilities on her own. For Taylor, whose life experience has been seriously limited, this means facing the test of meeting new people who work in the park’s nature center – and facing it alone. Summer also holds out the possibility of finding her own boyfriend, though Taylor isn’t quite sure what that may involve. What she discovers will change her life forever. Written as an epistolary novel, Wild Orchid is frank but optimistic, literal yet innocent. A courageous wit attends Taylor’s gradual emergence as her own person, and the reader will find the exploration of Taylor’s mind a revealing and heartwarming encounter. |
