Tulips Wedding Theme

As spring bursts forth, so do the multitude of colorful tulips. This tulips wedding idea is an inspiring flower theme that brings a freshness and joy to two lives beginning anew as one.

Wedding Colors To Use:

White and green with accents of red, pink, yellow, and orange pastels.

Wedding Invitations:

Those of you who are creative and willing to make your own invitations, could print a tulip on a white background, then lightly glue the edges of a piece of pastel colored velum paper inside the invitations as a special touch.

Traditional Tulips

• When planning out your decorations, use white and a medium green as your main colors. Accents will be in colors of pastel reds, yellows and oranges. For example, the tables at your reception will most likely be covered in white tablecloths (that's pretty standard and is the most cost effective). Add a green table topper to each of the guest tables or sprinkle green confetti on top. Additional decorations and centerpieces centered around tulips will complete the color scheme.
  
  
• Use twists of white and medium green crepe paper to decorate doorways, the front of food tables, cake table, head table, and gift table. Secure the swags with raffia ribbon bows in the pastel tulip colors.
  
  
• Make pew marker bows from white and green chiffon ribbon. Secure a miniature bouquet of silk tulips to the front of the bow.
  
  
• Centerpieces for your tables are quiet easy. Place a bouquet of tulips in large clear vases at each table. Tie a raffia ribbon and bow around each vase.
  
  
• You can also pick up tulip potted plants from a local garden shop. Most often the green plastic pots are wrapped in pink or other pastel paper, so can be placed on the tables as is.
  
  
• Create a centerpiece of tulip stick candles as your "bouquet". It will provide a nice low table lighting as well as suiting your theme. These would also make great individual wedding favors.
  
  
• Decorate the backs of each chair with a large white and green silk or chiffon bow tied around the chair. Add a silk bouquet of tulips to the center of each bow.
  
  

• Wedding guests would appreciate hand-painted tulip wine glasses. For this, just pick up some cheap wine glasses at a local store. Head to a craft shop and get glass paints. Cut out a stencil to follow and tape it to the inside of the glass. Using your paints, decorate the outside of the glass. Follow the instructions provided on how to set the paint to the glass.
  
  
• Make or buy tulip shaped soap and package in spring-theme boxes.
  
  
• Give your guests tulip shaped floating candles placed in a small clear glass bowl or ceremic dish and wrapped in cellophane.
