Find Floral Design Inspiration on National Orchid Day

It’s National Orchid Day! In celebration, we wanted to showcase some gorgeous arrangements from our talented florist vendors and revive some inspiring images from weddings we’ve shared on the blog throughout the years.

These delicate, exotic flowers date back over 100 million years and have symbolized love, strength, and sexuality. With so many varieties available, the orchid is sure to bring a refined elegance to your special day — no matter what aesthetic you’re working toward.

If you want to incorporate these flowers into your wedding’s floral design but aren’t sure how, we’ve got plenty of inspiration for you. Read on to see all the different ways orchids have been used to elevate that special day for other couples!

Classic, Intimate Ocean View Wedding

Cassie & Evan planned a classy and elegant wedding at Santa Barbara’s Four Seasons Resort - The Biltmore. Cassie worked with the florists at Coco Rose Design to select tropical foliage and orchids that complimented the clean lines and fresh color palette that ran throughout the design elements of her wedding.

Contemporary Black and White Wedding Ideas

These grooms threw a classic, timeless wedding with a crisp black and white palette. The ceremony was held under a stunning wedding arbor accented simply with classic Phalenopsis orchids and with a view of the ocean in the background. Tic Tock Couture Floral sourced a variety of bright white florals for the event, but the orchids on each of the arbor’s posts made a real statement during the ceremony itself.
