Tying the knot amid the excitement of another festive occasion adds a unique layer of magic, whether it’s the joy of a Fourth of July bash, the chic vibe of a New Year’s Eve celebration, or the vibrant hues of a Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year) festival. Furthermore, choosing flowers that echo the breathtaking beauty of the fireworks that often pair with these momentous affairs will elevate your special day into an unforgettable spectacle of romance and radiance. At Flora D’ Amore, we’re sharing expert tips and insights for creating this stunning and dazzling floral look that will light up your heart.
What Flowers Look Like Fireworks?
If you want the look of fireworks bursting with vibrant hues on your big day, consider flowers that mimic the full drama you love. Dahlias and chrysanthemums are spectacular autumn beauties. Aster, gomphrena, and solidago (or goldenrod) blossom off the beaten path (literally) but burst with beauty nonetheless. Lilies and sunflowers offer that classic starburst effect, but if you’re really looking for some showstoppers, we recommend Protea and Amaryllis. Of course, a wedding bouquet isn’t complete without some exquisite roses for that mesmerizing finale.
How to Get That Blooming Bouquet Firework Look
If those stunning dahlias and chrysanthemums aren’t the perfect fit for your winter wonderland or summer soiree, no worries — we have the best ideas to ensure your bouquets still pop! While some wedding blooms naturally resemble big, bright fireworks, you can achieve a similar impact with many other flowers artfully arranged to dazzle and delight.
Floral Choices
Fresh wedding favorites like anemones, peonies, and ranunculus are loved for their lush, voluminous petals that radiate outwards, much like fireworks. While softer alternatives, these flowers offer a timeless aesthetic and bring a true wow factor – especially when coupled with long stems like eucalyptus, veronica, and stock.
Go Bold with Colors
Fireworks are all about vibrant colors lighting up the night sky, so bring those dynamic hues to your wedding florals. Opt for a palette of electrifying blues, radiant yellows, and hot pinks. For a more refined but equally striking look, choose a monochromatic scheme with deep reds or bright whites that make every petal pop.
Think About Textures
To really echo the essence of bursting fireworks, mix and match different textures within your bouquets and arrangements. Incorporate spiky blooms like sea holly or blue thistle to add that spark-like texture, and complement them with softer accent stems like stock flowers, pampas grass, or tall eucalyptus. The varied textures will captivate the eye and make each piece feel as dynamic as a live fireworks show.
Bursting Bouquet Shape
Bouquets that seem to explode from your hands like a giant sparkler have a gorgeous look and add to the excitement of the evening, much like a NYE’s fireworks display at midnight. Opt for round arrangements that burst outward in all directions. This design mimics fireworks filling the sky, creating a visual spectacle from every angle.
Add A Glimmering Element
For that extra twinkle, consider incorporating metallic elements like gold or silver-sprayed leaves or accents of shimmering crystals and gems among the petals. Let your arrangements and bouquets catch the light and mimic the beautiful glittering aftermath of a firework’s burst in the night sky.
