Coral Lilies
-
Coral colored lilies are perfect for a beach wedding. With their large blooms and bright, multicolored petals, lilies have a beautiful and exotic look. A bouquet made up of coral pink lilies will look marvelous as part of a beach wedding among palm trees and pure white sand. Accent flowers of peachy orange or off-white will help boost the warm coral shades of the lilies. Bouquets and centerpieces of coral lilies complement a color scheme of dusty pinks, peaches, corals, and clementine.
Stunning White
-
Simple white roses are a traditional yet gorgeous choice for flowers. A bouquet of white flowers is simple yet elegant, and perfect for a naturally beautiful wedding on the beach. Whether the engaged couple is exchanging vows on a tropical, palm tree laden beach or a pebbly New England coastline, a white bouquet is sure to look stunning. White bouquets complement a wide range of color schemes, too. While white flowers of any kind give a classic, clean look, the various types of flowers allow subtle differences in bouquets. For instance, white roses are fitting for a romantic, traditional wedding, while white orchids set the tone for a more exotic or tropical event.

Bright Tropical Bouquet
-
Exotic flowers make a beautiful tropical bouquet. Instead of focusing on one color or a single type of flower, an elaborate bouquet made of tropical flowers in bright colors will look spectacular for a beach wedding. Tropical-styled bouquets can be designed to suit a variety of color schemes and have drastically different appearances. For a rich, golden bouquet, florists can design an arrangement with warm yellows, golds, and subdued lime greens. Bright pink, purple and orange orchids, lilies, antherium, bird of paradise, and even pieces of coral, on the other hand, create a flirty, bold tropical bouquet.
Yellow
-
Yellow chrysanthemums are a beautiful addition for a casual, charming beach wedding. Yellow bouquets capture the beauty of sunshine and look wonderful as part of a beach wedding. Yellow is a trendy color choice, too, and is often paired with gray. A bouquet of yellow calla lilies has a sharp, modern feel to it, and would go well with a contemporary styled ceremony. For a charming arrangement, collections of daisies or chrysanthemums are perfect for a casual oceanside wedding.
