Getting married during another festive occasion brings an extra touch of magic, whether it’s the fun of a July Forth party, the glamour of a New Year’s Eve soiree, or the colorful charm of a Lunar New Year (or Chinese New Year) gathering. Plus, selecting flowers that capture the brilliance of the fireworks that accompany these dazzling events will make your special day truly unforgettable. At Marco Island Weddings in Marco Island, Florida, we’re here to share expert ideas and insights for crafting a stunning floral look that is sure to enchant your heart.
What Flowers Look Like Fireworks?
If you want your big day to shimmer like fireworks bursting with vibrant colors, go for flowers that bring the drama you’re craving. Dahlias and chrysanthemums are stunning autumn beauties. Gomphrena, solidago (or goldenrod), and aster might be less common but are just as gorgeous. Lilies and sunflowers bring that classic starburst impact, but for real showstoppers, we suggest Protea and Amaryllis. And, of course, no wedding bouquet would be complete without beautiful roses for that incredible finale.
How to Get That Blooming Bouquet Firework Look
If those gorgeous dahlias and chrysanthemums don’t quite fit your summer soiree or winter wonderland, no problem! We’ve got plenty of ideas to make sure your wedding bouquets still stand out. While some wedding flowers naturally look like large, bright fireworks, you can create the same dazzling effect with a variety of other blooms arranged to perfection.
Floral Choices
Classic wedding favorites such as anemones, peonies, and ranunculus are adored for their voluminous, lush petals that fan out like fireworks. These flowers, while softer in appearance, have a timeless look and amp up the wow factor, especially when paired with long stemmed blooms like veronica, eucalyptus, and stock.
Go Bold with Colors
Fireworks are 100 percent about bright colors lighting up the dark sky, so let those dynamic shades inspire your wedding flowers. Go for a palette of radiant yellows, electrifying blues, and hot pinks. For a more elegant but equally eye-catching look, select a monochromatic look with rich reds or gleaming whites that make each petal stand out.
Think About Textures
To capture the essence of sparkling fireworks, mix and match a variety of textures in your wedding bouquets and arrangements. Add spiky flowers like blue thistle or sea holly for a spark-like look, and balance them with softer accents like stock flowers, tall eucalyptus, or pampas grass. The different textures will enchant the eye and make each element feel as festive and dynamic as a fireworks show.
Bursting Bouquet Shape
Bouquets that burst beautifully from your hands almost like a giant sparkler create a stunning look and bring excitement to the evening, just like a New Year’s Eve fireworks show at midnight. Choose round arrangements that fan out in many directions. This design style mimics fireworks filling up the sky, making a visual spectacle everywhere you look.
Add A Glimmering Element
For extra sparkle, try adding metallic touches like gold or silver-covered leaves or accents of shiny crystals and gems among adorning the petals. Allow your arrangements and bouquets to catch light and mimic the gorgeous glittering effect of fireworks glimmering in the night sky.
Bring these sparkling ideas to life with Marco Island Weddings and make sure your wedding florals burst with the twinkling beauty and joy of a luxe fireworks display.
