Every dating couple hopes that each year’s New Year’s Eve will be a memorable one and one that causes sparks to fly everywhere, especially in the romance department. With the possible exception of Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve is the most popular night or day for marriage proposals. Once you and your fiance have decided to get married, you may be wondering about what happens next. At Bice’s Florist, we know that our Fort Worth area customers will want to do their weddings on the same grand scale that Texans choose for every special occasion.
We thought we’d use this blog to help you get a head start on those all important wedding planning preparations.
Come Up With a Theme for Your Wedding
The launching point for any wedding plan is the theme. Most couples choose a theme that relates to a pivotal moment in their relationship. The theme can also revolve around a couple’s shared interest. Think of the things you like to do together, or things that are important to you.
Think About a Color Scheme
The color scheme is another important element in any wedding plan. An excellent resource for seasonal color information is Pantone. For Spring of 2016, Pantone is showcasing a palette of gender neutral colors. The palette is also vividly bright. The bright color scheme that Pantone is showing is a reflection of the predominate colors that the fashion industry will use during the Spring 2016 season. Think of Pantone Spring palette as possible colors for your bridal party’s dresses, ties, bouquets, ceremony flowers, boutonnieres, corsages and other flowers.
One of the colors that Pantone shows for Spring 2016 is a color called Peach Echo. It is more of a coral color than an orange as the color of peaches. “Lily Sensation” is an excellent example of a flower arrangement that would be a beautiful bouquet or centerpiece. It has orange or coral colored lilies, roses, Birds of Paradise, and purple dendrobium orchids.
Bright yellow is another spring color for 2016. No flower captures the essence of the brilliance of sunshine than Stunning Sunflowers. The addition of yellow roses dresses up the simplicity of sunflowers, and red hypericum berries contribute more color and brightness. This combination of flowers and flower colors captures the feeling of optimism that Pantone expressed in the release about the new spring colors.
