Pretty Decor Ideas With Freesia Wedding Flowers

 

With it’s delicate character and lovely fragrance, it’s no wonder that the freesia flower is a favorite among our spring brides. This bell-shaped bloom grows in a variety of colors including red, yellow, orange, pink, purple, and white. Lovely and playful, freesias look wonderful on their own or can be used as an accent flower.

Originating in South Africa, the story behind the flowers’s name goes back to the 19th century when the botanist, Christian P. Ecklon, named the bloom after his colleague, Friedrich H.T. Freese, to honor their friendship. Since then, the freesia has been associated friendship, trust, and innocence. What a perfect flower to have close by on the day when you are about to marry your best friend! From bouquets and centerpieces to the wedding cake, here are pretty wedding decor ideas that incorporate freesias.

Wedding Bouquets

In wedding bouquets, freesias can take center stage or be used as a filler adding movement, lightness, and texture to an arrangement. Lavender colored freesia paired with voluminous peonies radiate romantic bliss. An all white bouquet featuring Ballerina freesias is an excellent choice for the classic bride. For a garden inspired look, mix purple freesia with dahlias, stock and lisianthus with greenery accents.

 

 

 

 

 

Wedding Centerpieces

Freesias’ intoxicating scent adds another element to your wedding’s atmosphere, making it a great flower to incorporate into the reception table decor. A gorgeous centerpiece featuring juliet and garden roses, white freesia, and dusty miller is rich with eye-catching texture and volume. A petite centerpiece of white Ballerina freesia casts an air of simple elegance. Make a color statement with an all freesia arrangement featuring vibrant hues of purple, yellow, red, and white.
