Getting married during another festive occasion adds a special layer of magic to your wedding day, whether it’s the excitement of a Fourth of July celebration, the glamorous vibe of a New Year’s Eve soiree, or the vibrant colors of a Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year) festival. Additionally, selecting flowers that reflect the breathtaking beauty of fireworks often seen at these momentous events will transform your big day into an explosion of color, beauty, radiance, and romance. The experts at Griffin’s Floral Designs are here with tips and insights to help you create a stunning and dazzling floral look that will light up your heart.
What Flowers Look Like Fireworks?
If you want your wedding to sparkle like fireworks bursting with vibrant hues, choose flowers that capture that dramatic flair. Dahlias and chrysanthemums bring autumnal splendor, while aster, gomphrena, and solidago (or goldenrod) offer unique beauty from off the beaten path. Lilies and sunflowers provide that classic starburst effect, but for true showstoppers, consider Protea and Amaryllis — these blooms are the grand finale you’ve been dreaming of! And, of course, no wedding bouquet is complete without the mesmerizing charm of exquisite roses to make it truly dazzle.
How to Get That Blooming Bouquet Firework Look
If those gorgeous dahlias and chrysanthemums aren’t the perfect match for your summer soirée or winter wonderland, don’t worry — we’ve got plenty of ideas to ensure your flowers still pop! While some wedding blooms are obvious choices that naturally resemble vibrant, bold explosions, you can create the same stunning impact by artfully arranging a slew of other stems that dazzle and delight.
Floral Choices
Popular wedding blooms like peonies, ranunculus, and anemones are adored for their lush, voluminous petals that burst outward like mini floral fireworks. While softer alternatives, they bring a timeless charm and a real wow factor to your bouquet, especially when paired with long stems like veronica, stock, and eucalyptus.
Go Bold with Colors
Fireworks light up the night sky with vivid colors, so bringing that same brilliance to your wedding flowers just makes sense. Choose a palette featuring radiant yellows, electrifying blues, and hot pinks for a fun and lively vibe. For a more elegant yet equally eye-catching look, go for a monochromatic scheme with bright whites or deep reds.
Think About Textures
To replicate the explosive beauty of fireworks, mix and match diverse textures in your bouquet. Integrate spiky blooms like sea holly or blue thistle for a spark-like texture, and soften the look with accents like stock flowers, pampas grass, or tall eucalyptus. The variety of textures will enchant your guests and give your bouquet the dynamic flair of a fireworks display.
Bursting Bouquet Shape
Bouquets that look like they’re exploding right in your hands (like a giant sparkler) have a breathtaking effect. Opt for a round bouquet shape that radiates outward in all directions, creating a stunning visual from every angle. It’s like a NYE fireworks display filling the entire sky at midnight!
Add A Glimmering Element
To give your bouquet that extra sparkle, add metallic elements like gold or silver-sprayed leaves or shimmering crystals and gems among the petals. Let your stems catch the light, mirroring the twinkling aftermath of a firework’s burst in the night sky.
