Flowers Gardens Review

Tropical flowers are very popular for many wedding ceremonies because of their features such as:

* They are often brightly coloured
* They are available year-round
* They have a modern, chic look

We listed below some of the most popular tropical wedding flowers:

Anthuriums
These elegant flowers are extremely popular nowadays. They originate from Central and tropical South America, and are called as Flamingo flowers.

They come in a wide variety of colours including bright red, green, pink and white. One of my favourites is called ’safari’ and is burgundy with pale stripes.

Botanists will tell you that the brightly coloured parts are not flowers at all but modified leaves called spathes… but who cares! They look absolutely fantastic and fresh.

Anthuriums can work well in bouquets, but be careful which flowers you put them with. Their size and unusual shape shout ‘look at me’ and they easily overpower other flowers. During your flower plan, let them be the star of the show with other flowers as secondary. Additionally, the size of anthuriums is useful when creating large arrangements like a pedestal arrangement for a reception.

Orchids
Orchids have long been a favourite with brides. There are a number of different varieties including Moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) and Cymbidium orchids.

Phalaenopsis are nice and elegant flowers that are well-suited to bouquets and also look good as buttonholes.

Cymbidium orchids are robust, and are one of the most versatile flowers. Cymbidiums have large heads but still retain a refined elegance. The popular colours are white, pink, yellow and light green.

You can use them in tropical wedding bouquets, wedding boutonnieres, and in room arrangements.

Heliconia
Heliconia is a beautiful architectural plant. For this reason you’ll find it in the receptions of quality hotels and corporate offices around the world.

It can be arranged into striking designs for wedding ceremony rooms and receptions. The yellow and red colours will brighten any room and make colorful centerpieces.

Heliconia is originally from the tropical areas of Central and Southern America. It is transported by airfreight from countries like Costa Rica and is available year round.

Tropical Foliage
Besides these colorful flowers, tropical foliage (leaves) can make a huge difference to your arrangements.

They complement tropical wedding flowers but also work well alongside more traditional flowers such as roses and gerberas. Palm leaves, and Monstera (Swiss Cheese plant) leaves make an excellent base on which to create any type of large venue arrangement.

Tropical flowers including cymbidium orchids, white anthuriums and ginger were then added. Cerise pink gerberas add a final flourish to the arrangement.

Strelitzia leaves can also form an unusual backdrop for your tropical wedding flowers. Foliage can be romantic too - Anthuriums have lovely heart-shaped leaves that are most appropriate for weddings.
