Planning a wedding involves creativity and patience. There are many decisions to make and items to coordinate. One area that can make a large impact on the look and feel of the wedding is, of course, the flower choices. Choosing cream and red bridal flowers is an easy way to create a lovely, romantic and festive atmosphere at your special affair.

When used as the flower color scheme for the wedding, cream and red bridal flowers make a strong statement. Both colors are traditional, refined, and beautiful. While red is fiery and powerful, cream is subdued and pure. Red flowers, by themselves, are often times overpowering for brides; cream alone can look washed out. Together, however, this combination is just right, as the two colors offset each other and create the perfect combination of drama and gentleness.

No matter what color scheme you select for the bridal party, red and cream blooms will add the perfect touch. If your bridal party is wearing chocolate, tranquil blue (steel), celadon (green), or burgundy, (to name a few) the red will add a touch of color and the cream will give balance to the whole picture. You can create a consistent look throughout by choosing bridal party dresses in cream and red; this will create a stunning combination with the flowers. Finish the design by adding a red sash or trim to your own bridal gown. There are dozens of ways to use cream and red bridal flowers and to make them match with dresses of all colors and styles.

When focusing on cream and red, there are an infinite number of options. Choose red roses and white mini calla lilies for the table arrangements, the bouquets or for both. For a strikingly traditional arrangement use only roses. Combine red and cream roses for a brilliant composition. Use cream tablecloths or mix and match red and cream tablecloths and scatter rose petals on each table below the rose vases. Another stunning option is to amass several red flowers (roses, carnations, or gerberas), and nestle a single cream bud into the bouquet. Or conversely, a bed of cream calla lilies with a solitary red rose (in full bloom or closed) makes a dramatic and poignant display. Combine red roses (closed) and cream lilies for an exotic twist to this fashionable theme. Finally, for a truly unique option, position two or three red alstroemeria or Asiatic lilies in a bed of cream carnations or mini callas. Guests will be mesmerized by this stunning arrangement.

You can’t go wrong with cream and red bridal flowers. There are so many ways to combine these colors into beautiful and dramatic wedding flower options. These ideas, and so many others like them, can help you to create a stunning, regal wedding. You will relish in the look during the event, and will enjoy looking back on your beautiful pictures for years to come.
