Wild Flower Wedding Arrangements
True wild flowers are flowers that grow naturally in the wild, without cultivation, according to the Wildflower Information website. Wild flower wedding arrangements provide the reception with unprecedented beauty and elegance. Both features work together to complement the decorations at the wedding ceremony and reception venue. The right centerpieces evoke a positive response from guests and set the mood for the reception. Centerpieces that blend a variety of different colors, shapes and types of wild flowers highlight and accent the colors included in the wedding and reception.

Simple Colors

To bring elegance and style to your wedding reception, incorporate flowers possessing monochromatic colors and shapes. Similar colors create a harmonic unity reminiscent of traditional wedding centerpieces. Add glamor to your wild flower wedding arrangements by using identical flowers such as pink mountain phlox and rose cosmos. These flowers look similar to one another, but possess enough differences to create variety.
Shapes
-
Symmetrical- and asymmetrical-shaped flower arrangements bring a dramatic composition to any wedding reception. Combine vibrantly orange African daisies with baby blue cornflowers and pinkish lavender lemon mint to add a multifaceted effect to each arrangement. The differences of textures and lengths of the wild flowers add layers of vibrant colors that are pleasing to the eye.
Color Schemes
-
Use flowers consisting of the same color palette to produce a subtle, yet coordinated arrangement of different, yet complementary flowers. Wild flowers consisting of slight differentiations of color blend well, and create unity. Consider an arrangement of light purplish-blue forget me not flowers, with purple baby snapdragons and red poppies, to create a serene and relaxing atmosphere. Add dark green fillers to make colors even more vivid.
