The Perfect Pair - Seafoam and Peach

Seafoam and Peach Colour Palette

It can be rather a difficult task to mix, match and pair up colours for your wedding. If I choose red what will go with it? It truly is a minefield and can be a hard one to get your head around? Had you ever heard of a colour called seafoam, me either until I went looking for colours to match up with peach. Seafoam and Peach have a water colour (pardon the pun) feel that adds to its spectacular interest and charm.

Seafoam radiates peace and tranquility with an uplifting energy! The perfect partner for this amazing colour is peach.

Perhaps consider some accessories and jewellery in a darker turquoise to add some contrast!

Here are some amazing weddings using the colour theme of seafoam and peach - I think you'll agree they are just divine!

Spring Flowers

The promise of Spring brings new life all around us. Spring flowers are truly beautiful and refreshing after the stark colours of Winter. There are so many fabulous blooms and I have handpicked but a few!

I personally love the blousy blooms of the Peony and think that these flowers on their own just take your breath away. The peony also symbolizes bashfulness. In Victorian times it was believed that mischievous nymphs hid in its magnificent petals. Symbolizing beauty and romance, the peony is often chosen for weddings. The same generous petals that earn them the symbolic meaning of happy marriage also earn them the symbolic meaning of compassion.

Anemones are another favourite Spring flower and now come in a number of varieties. According to Greek mythology, the anemone sprang from Aphrodite’s tears as she mourned the death of Adonis.  Thought to bring luck and protect against evil, legend has it that when the anemone closes its petals, it’s a signal that rain is approaching.  

Still other mythology connects the anemone to magical fairies, who were believed to sleep under the petals after they closed at sunset.

Perhaps it’s because of this magical and prophetic tales that today in the language of flowers, anemones represent anticipation.

Feverfew is a small daisy like flower that is used along with other Spring flowers in wedding bouquets or they look lovely as table centrepieces. They look fantastic for a rustic or woodland wedding theme.

Muscari adds a vibrant splash of colour! Muscari has purple, spike-like bunch of urn shaped flowers. The blossoms bloom just like bunches of grapes perched upside down. The extraordinary shapes make this one of the prettiest purple flowers to use at wedding. Meaning Mutual Love!

Spring isn't quite Spring without Tulips. Tulips are symbolic of fame and perfect love. The symbolic meanings also change with the color of the tulips. Red tulips mean "believe me" and are a declaration of true love. Variegated tulips mean "you have beautiful eyes." Yellow tulips mean "there's sunshine in your smile" and cheerful thoughts. Cream colored tulips mean "I will love you forever." White tulips symbolize heaven, newness and purity. Purple tulips symbolize royalty. Pink tulips mean affection and caring. Orange tulips mean energy, enthusiasm, desire, and passion.

Glorious Wedding Flowers

I love flowers, who wouldn't working in one of Ireland's magnificent gardens at Powerscourt! But on a personal level I love them too and for me the flowers that stand out most are the big blousy blooms in soft pinks and lilacs, almost giving a vintage feel.

Bloomsday Flowers

There are so many options to choose from and it's important to take onboard the advice from your chosen florist. They can advise on the flowers that are in season, what will work with your overall wedding theme and what works best with your complexion and that of you hubby to be!

Bloomsday Flowers

Most wedding florists will keep a portfolio of their past weddings so you can readily see if their style suits yours.  Here in Ireland we seem to play it a little safe when it comes to using colour but a colourful display of flowers will certainly keep the ambience upbeat.

Austen Flowers

Your bridal bouquet is the perfect accessory to your wedding dress so it's important to choose the right tone and flower.

Little Daisy Flowers

Remember that the flowers that look well with your dress also need to work well with the groom, bridesmaids, flower girls, and your venue. Simple though it seems one might forget that the venue may have vivid or muted colours in their function facilities and it is all about complimenting colours in your overall wedding theme.
