Stately fall wedding flowers, the delphinium is also a versatile choice. Up to twenty star shaped blooms open along a tall stem which can be used to add height to arrangements.
Delphiniums are available in white, shades of pink, lilac and many nuances of that elusive flower color: blue.
Most often seen as a vertical accent, delphiniums also may be used in cascading bouquets. They combine beautifully with other fall wedding flowers such as roses, hydrangeas and calla lilies where they can offer a lovely contrast in color and form.
A lovely meadow style bouquet can be made using delphiniums in a pageant bouquet carried across the arm.
Typically arrangements with delphiniums will be reasonably relaxed looking as they have that real cottage garden appeal.
Another cute idea is to use the individual delphinium flowers in a more formal, rounded bouquet. The blues especially will give a real pop to a pale or pastel colored bouquet of roses for instance.
Centerpieces and reception flowers can be given a very dramatic look with the added height of delphiniums. Remember though to keep the bulk of your centerpieces above your guests’ heads when they are seated so they can still see and talk with each other!
