Who says that wedding flowers have to be all white? Colorful flowers can be a great way to inject personality and style into your wedding. These are some ideas for colorful wedding bouquets for all different types of wedding ceremonies.

Even a fairly formal wedding can benefit from a bit of color in the wedding bouquets. As long as the flowers which you select are sufficiently elegant, adding color will in no way detract from the formality of your ceremony. Roses are an excellent option, as they are both traditional and available in a beautiful array of colors. For an autumn wedding, bouquets with roses in fall shades of terra cotta, sunflower yellow, and rich red will strike the perfect mood. Extras like red hypericum berries and velvet ribbons will enhance the effect.

Colorful flowers are always fun for a summer wedding. Make your garden wedding romantic with pink and green bouquets for all the ladies in the wedding. Lush pink peonies and vivid green hydrangeas are a winning combination. Pink and green striped grosgrain ribbon bouquet wraps will up the preppy factor, or splurge on gorgeous watercolor painted ribbons with all of the flower colors for a bit of luxury.

It is really easy to come up with fantastic informal wedding bouquets in bright colors. Gerbera daisies in fuchsia, orange, and yellow are festive and cheerful on a hot summer day. Mixed wildflowers in shades of purple, yellow, pink, and orange will look like you gathered them yourself on the morning of the wedding. Spring brides can enjoy bouquets combining yellow mini daffodils, purple hyacinth, and white roses.

Exotic bouquets can also be colorful. The hottest trend going is to enhance your flowers with fanciful peacock feathers. Pull out some of the shades in the feathers for your flowers. Deep purple with dashes of gold and green flowers will look stunning with the peacock feathers. Tie it all up with a big gold bow. For the bridesmaids, echo the effect with a smaller number of feathers. You can take it one step further and choose bridesmaid jewelry gifts in some of the feather colors. A bridesmaid dress in a neutral but glamorous hue like gold would be the perfect backdrop for gifts of bridesmaid jewelry in an assortment of peacock colors.

Brides who love the style of sophisticated flowers in deep colors can get the right level of drama and elegance with deep purple and red flowers in combination. After all, colorful flowers do not have to be bright. These rich colors are especially gorgeous for late winter weddings. Roses and orchids are among the best types of flowers for dark bouquets. If you want to make the bouquets even more elegant, the addition of jet black teardrop crystals will be spectacular. Or introduce some shimmer in the form of glittery berries and curvy branches.

Really allow yourself to have fun and express yourself with colorful wedding bouquets. They can be another festive part in a brightly decorated wedding ceremony, or a fabulous pop of color in an otherwise white decorating scheme. Either way, colorful bouquets will make your ceremony feel unique and upbeat.
