Does anyone have any ideas for wedding flowers for an asian themed wedding?

Question

i would also like to incorporate some type of asian like flare for the bridesmaids. maybe hair chopsticks... something like that. i am not asian, but like the whole feng shui light and airy thing. i have the decorations taken care of by my caterer. the flowers are really stumping me. i need ideas for centerpieces too, but they have to be affordable. thanks:)

With this sort of theme the possibilities are endless. You could  create some really gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces. Good luck.

Answer 2

I think red roses with black dresses with a white wedding dress is classy.

Answer 3

Cherry blossoms are a popular Japanes flower and you see it in a lot of Asian art, these would be good for centerpieces since the are small flowers that grow on thin branches, they are not bouquet type flowers.  Also you can get fresh bamboo at a lot of places, IKEA believe it or not has a pretty big selection of fresh bamboo that would be great for centerpieces.

For bouquets there are a lot of lilies that will work.  My favorite is the stargazer lily which comes in different colors, the most popular are hot pink or white:

These are beautiful for bouquets or centerpieces.

Lotus flowers would look nice as a floating flower centerpiece.

Other choices could be orchids or jasmine.

Perhaps your florist can attach flowers to fans.  Then bridesmaids could carry those.  There are cherry blossom fans at one of the sites above.

Answer 5

peonies and cherryblossoms!

Answer 6

I'm not asian and I like the oriental style, but more for decorating than for my wedding.

If everything else is in an asian theme, then you don't necessarily need asian-style flowers. Sometimes it can look over the top if EVERYTHING is in the one theme, rather than a few aspects.

Depending on your colour scheme you could really use any flower and have it still look 'asian', especially with your bridesmaids hair and makeup, your dress, hair and makeup and your decorations.

You could add things like cherry blossoms to roses to make it feel more asian. Orchids are very oriental, but as far as I know they're very expensive too. Lilies can look oriental, as could even tulips or poppies.

Talk to your florist and have a play around =)

Answer 7

Maybe a lotus, orchid or water lilies?

Answer 8
