Blue flowers that are used for weddings are like blue hydrangeas, blue hyacinths and blue iris. Blue hyacinth varieties are like Blue Jackett and Delft Blue. Other popular wedding flowers for bridal bouquets are Muscari, Delphiniums, Blue Star and the Blue Rose. Delphiniums are line flowers that are suitable for tall centerpieces, but when they are used in bridal bouquets they are cut short. Another flower which is similarly popular is the Forget Me Not in blue. They are small flowers and very sweet. Not so common blue wedding flower is the Cornflower. Sometimes you can see them in bouquets and centerpieces. For the groom, they usually prefer not so girlish accessory, so they often choose thistle in their boutonnieres. When using blue, you can complement with other colors like white, orange, red or yellow.
Purple flowers are popular for weddings. Orchids are available in purple. For instance, the dendrobium orchids, the vanda orchids and the phalaenopsis orchids, all come in purple. For Roses, you can only find the Pacific Blue or Cool Water roses in lavender. Tulips are also available in purple, like the Queen Of The Night, Perfection, Purple Prince and Atilla. Purple Lisianthus and Hyacinths are very sweet. So are Peonies. Peony purple varieties that you could choose are Anna Marie and Chore (these are light purple in color). For darker purple, you can choose the Kamada Nishiki and Murad Of Hershey Bar. Other not so common wedding flowers but make the bouquet or arrangement special are Agapanthus, Lavender, Cineraria and Lilacs. Agapanthus has very strong stem and lavender and lilac have soothing fragrance. Iris is also quite popular to use in weddings. The purple and yellow contrast makes it very attractive. Calla lilies are also available in purple, namely the Purple Eye variety. Pansy and Muscari are nice flowers for weddings, too. When using purple, you can match with white or green flowers. For more contrast, you can use yellow or orange flowers and complement with green.

When you choose white as the theme color for your bouquet, you can practically combine with any color you want because white is a neutral color that easily matches with other colors.
