Dazzling colors and textures for an autumnal wedding

Celosia is a small genius of ornamental flowers that only blooms from late summer to early fall. Their interesting textures and bright colors make them a really good candidate for a casual autumnal wedding. The orange color is the most energizing color and expresses a keen sense of style, especially when mixed with yellow. The stunning color palette will be totally appropriate for the bride that is not afraid to make a statement on her big day.

The bridal bouquet I am featuring here is mainly composed with two types of Celosia: the Cockscomb (sometimes referred as "brain" flower) and the Plume Cockscomb. The first one has a very dense and silky texture, while the second one is more "feathery". To add interest to the composition, we have included a dozen yellow roses as well as some Finger Millet. The key here was the combination of color and texture. Since Celosias come in many different hues, don't be afraid to experiment with the specimens you can find. The result will be guaranteed: A huge Wow factor!
