Tying the knot during another festive event adds an extra layer of magic. Imagine the cheer of a Fourth of July party, the sophisticated vibe of a New Year’s Eve gala, or the vibrant shades of a Lunar New Year (AKA Chinese New Year) celebration. Choosing blooms that mirror the beauty of the fireworks that light up these festive events will level up your big day into an incredible spectacle of radiance and romance. At Rose Hill Weddings in Nashville, Tennessee, we’re excited to share our expert insights and ideas for creating this stunning floral look that will dazzle you and your guests.
What Flowers Look Like Fireworks?
For a wedding day that shines with the look of fireworks bursting with gorgeous colors, choose flowers that capture that drama. Dahlias and chrysanthemums are perfect blooms in the fall. Gomphrena, aster, and solidago (goldenrod) may be a bit off the beaten path, but are equally beautiful. Lilies and sunflowers give that lovely starburst effect, while Protea and Amaryllis are true showstoppers. And, of course, your wedding bouquet wouldn’t be fully complete without stunning roses for an amazing finish.
How to Get That Blooming Bouquet Firework Look
If stunning dahlias and chrysanthemums aren’t quite the right match for your winter soiree or summer wedding, don’t worry! We have amazing ideas for making sure your bouquets still shine. Even though some wedding flowers resemble fireworks naturally, you can achieve a similar wow factor with plenty of other blooms arranged to perfection.
Floral Choices
Wedding flower favorites like peonies, anemones, and ranunculus are prized for their verdant, voluminous petals that spread out, emulating fireworks. These flowers may be softer options, but they provide a timeless look and luxe energy, especially when combined with long stemmed blossoms like stock, eucalyptus, and Veronica.
Go Bold with Colors
Fireworks light up the night with vibrant colors, so why not bring those shimmering hues to your wedding flowers? Choose a combination of hot pinks, electrifying blues, and radiant yellows. If you prefer a more refined yet just as striking look, lean into a monochromatic palette with bright whites or deep reds that really make the texture of each petal pop.
Think About Textures
For a true fireworks vibe, mix and match several different textures in your arrangements and bouquets. Include spiky blossoms such as sea holly or blue thistle that add a sparkling texture, and pair them with softer stems like pampas grass, stock flowers, or tall eucalyptus. The mix of textures will catch the eye and make each part feel as kinetic as a real fireworks display.
Bursting Bouquet Shape
Bouquets that look as if they’re bursting from your grasp like a huge sparkler have a breathtaking look and amp up the evening’s excitement, not unlike a New Year’s Eve fireworks show at the strike of midnight. Go for round floral displays that explode outward in every direction. This style mirrors fireworks filling the night sky, resulting in a visual spectacle that’s sure to stun.
Add A Glimmering Element
Add some extra twinkle by bringing in metallic elements such as gold or silver-accented leaves or shimmering gems and crystals among the petals. Let your arrangements and bouquets catch the light, mirroring the stunning, glittering aftermath of fireworks bursting in the sky.
