Flowers are an important part of any Outer Banks wedding.  There are so many to choose from, how does one decide?  Perhaps knowing the types of flowers suitable for the warmer climate, as well as popular wedding trends, can help you decide what flowers you want for your Outer Banks beach wedding.

For your bridal bouquet, you may want to consider using Orchids.  Orchids are heat and wilt-resistant and come in a variety of popular bright colors, such as yellow, white, purple, green and pink.

Another popular flower for a beach wedding bridal bouquet is the Calla Lily.  Calla Lilies tolerate heat very well and hold up well without water.  One popular trend for the bridal bouquet is to simply use a few long-stem Calla Lilies tied together with a flowing ribbon.  The accompanying men’s boutonnieres can be made from miniature Calla Lilies.

If you want an aromatic flower in your bridal bouquet, you may want to consider using Plumeria.  These flowers have thick, waxy leaves and come in white, pink and yellow.  Interestingly enough, Plumeria are most fragrant late in the day.  This would be an ideal flower for an evening wedding!

When looking for a unique flower for the ladies’ corsages, consider using the colorful Bird of Paradise flower.  This simple flower is heat and wilt-resistant, and their colorful combination of green, blue and orange provides a vibrant display of color.

When you are choosing flowers for your beach wedding, be sure to ask your florist for their recommendations.  Remember to check out our Outer Banks wedding professionals.  They have the knowledge and experience to provide you with your dream wedding.  And don’t forget to visit the rest of OBXBrides.com for more Outer Banks weddings advice and ideas!
