For those who love orchids Los Angeles flower-shops are bound to
have a large range to choose from. For a wedding, these sumptuous
flowers add an air of luxury. The blooms were once very expensive
because of their rarity. Today they are much less costly and give an air
of prosperity and status to any occasion but especially to a wedding.
There are several different species of this flower. The blooms of the cymbidium are large and very attractive. The waxy petals prevent them from wilting easily. As a choice for a summer wedding, the cymbidium is excellent. You will be able to choose between pink, pale green, yellow and white flowers.
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.
There are many ways to use these flowers as part of the table decorations. Blooms can be placed on the tables, either as they are or in candle holders. They are also elegant when twined around candelabras. Low bowls of polished stones or pebbles topped with blooms allow seated guests an uninterrupted view. The flowers also look exotic if simply floated in stylish bowls.
The orchid is a symbol of love, beauty and elegance. Such versatile flowers will add luxury and a touch of the exotic to themed weddings. Traditional, elegant weddings will be further enhanced by the white Phalaenopsis. The flower itself is quite often used as the theme with perhaps a particular colour being chosen. Everything from place mats to invitations, thank you cards and reply cards are available to match. The flowers make lovely corsages and can be entwined in the hairpieces of the bridesmaids.
