Wedding Flowers are Cute When You Mix in "Fruits" ♡
For wedding bouquets and venue flower arrangements, a great tip for a beautiful flower coordination is to mix in "fruits" along with the flowers ♡
Round fruits serve as a stylish accent just by being mixed in with the flowers.
They are especially essential materials for natural weddings like those in overseas settings, and for the now-popular rustic and Boho weddings.
Not only in bouquets and venue flowers, but fruits are also popular as hair accessories. They create a natural yet impressive and mature bridal hairstyle ♡
Brides who will soon be meeting about their flowers should definitely familiarize themselves with "fruits."
There are Various Types of "Fruits"!
Just as there are many types of flowers, there are of course various "fruits" as well.
However, many people may find it overwhelming to even remember the names of flowers, let alone the names of fruits! When talking to florists, they often can only describe what they want somewhat vaguely, like saying "a red fruit..."
In this article, we will introduce six types of "fruits" that are popular for wedding bouquets and head table flower arrangements.
You might find out the name of that fruit you wanted to know about! ♡
Popular "Fruits" for Weddings① Hypericum
Hypericum is a representative summer fruit. Its appearance, resembling small fruits, makes it a cute material. It comes in vivid colors like red, orange, green, and pink.
Each fruit has a green "calyx" attached, which is a distinctive feature not found in other fruits.
A bright natural bouquet featuring Hypericum mixed with roses and blue star flowers. It’s stylish to see the round fruits peeking out from among the petals.
Bright red Hypericum serves as an accent for a sophisticated, darker-colored bride’s bouquet as well, creating a sharper atmosphere even with just a little bit.
Popular "Fruits" for Weddings② Pepper Berry
Pepper berries are small, round flowers that are adorable ♡ As the name suggests, they have a faint peppery aroma.
The smooth, rounded silhouette of pepper berries adds an interesting contrast when mixed with other flowers.
Pink is a popular color ♡
Adding small pepper berries to a large bouquet of peonies or roses provides just the right accent ♡
