Do dark floral centerpieces give off a somber vibe?

Melissa, on January 4, 2019 at 7:17 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 12
Hello, hope everyone is doing well in the new year.

Originally, I was going to go with all white flowers, maybe some dusty rose colored flowers sprinkled in, for the bouquet and centerpieces. I didnt really care about the flowers besides wanting to have white anemones included. But after some browsing on Pinterest, I adore the darker colored floral arrangements that were posted that would look in place with my late fall wedding. I've gotten some recent feedback from older family that what I like isnt proper for a wedding and distasteful. Someone even told me that the arrangements I would like will make guests think that they are at a funeral instead of a wedding.

Have any of you had or will be having dark floral arrangements for your wedding? If so, please post some pictures for inspiration and so I can kindly prove some of my family members wrong that dark flowers can be beautiful and wedding appropriate. Thank you

    I absolutely love the bouquet in the first photo! What are you wedding colours? That might help? Im not sure what your theme/colours/style is but I think the darker centerpieces would work well if you glammed them up....fairy lights, candles, crystals, rhinestones, gold, or silver etc. More elegant and chic styling.

    I love the flower combinations the last 4 photos. I haven't gotten my wedding colors down pat yet. I for sure want black, white, gold, but I'm having trouble finding a pop of color or two.

    The flowers you posted are beautiful! I'm not going at dark as these, but I've seen sooo many beautiful centerpieces and bouquets with dark flowers. Look up moody weddings on pinterest and it will give you a ton of evidence

    I think that you will find the look you like and in the end it will look romantic and gothic and not like a funeral. Smiley heart
