Blue and White Wedding Flowers
When planning a wedding, the couple must decide upon flowers to use throughout the special day. Flowers play a vital role in wedding decor, from the bouquets held by the bride and her bridesmaids to centerpieces at the reception. Couples who want blue and white flowers for their wedding will find a variety of flowers to pick from, as well as a number of ways to integrate the flowers into their wedding decor.

Ceremony Decor
-
Collections of blue and white flowers will add bursts of color and the decorative theme to the wedding ceremony. Along with arrangements of flowers placed at the altar, flowers can add a decorative touch to arches or trellises under which couples exchange their vows. To jazz up the guests' seating, couples can place blue and white flowers at the end of each row. For a charming look, a metal bucket with blue hydrangeas and white roses has a soft, country appearance. The round shape of pomanders made of blue and white carnations adds a fun look to a wedding ceremony.
Bridal Bouquets
-
Blue and white bridal bouquets unite the bride and her bridesmaids with the shared color scheme, and add the natural beauty of flowers to the bride's impressive look. For a romantic spring wedding, a simple bouquet of blue and white hyacinths looks and smells divine. For a more exotic look, the bride can carry a breathtaking bouquet of white calla lilies and deep blue lupine. Brides who want a white bouquet with a touch of blue can hold one made of Amazon lilies, sweet peas and other white flowers held together with a blue ribbon.

Centerpieces
-
With the diversity of looks that can be created using different types of blue and white flowers, it seems certain that couples can find a centerpiece arrangement that suits the decor for their wedding. Placing a single hydrangea in a short clear glass, or a even a handful in a glass vase, has a simple elegance that is perfect for a springtime garden wedding. Tropical flowers in contemporary white square vases create a unique, modern look. Accenting arrangements with the glow of white candles, blue flower petals, or pieces of blue willow china can further add to the color scheme.
Other Reception Details
-
Along with centerpieces for the guests' tables, blue and white flowers can be used to decorate other areas of the reception venue. Large floor vases can be filled with sprigs of blue lupine or blue delphinium paired with delicate white gardenias. Garlands of blue and white flowers can add a cheerful look to the edges of tables, railings, or posts at the reception locale. For a unique table top decoration, blue and white flowers can be added to a pool of floating candles.
