The Best Yellow Wedding Flowers for the Season

A bride who has her heart set on yellow wedding flowers should consider the season in which her wedding will take place, before selecting a type of flower. In addition to the many meanings associated with yellow wedding flowers, the flower itself can symbolize a time of year.

Brides can use yellow wedding flowers as the main shade in a bouquet or as an accent color; yellow flowers pop when put next to royal purple, and are a natural complement to oranges and reds. Alternately, an all-yellow palette of wedding flowers makes for a more modern arrangement.

Another important consideration is the shade of yellow, from lemon chiffon to dark goldenrod. School-bus yellow gives an impression of youth and joy; a warm, golden shade denotes sophistication.

Creamy roses, which can range from $1 to $2 each for bridal-quality varieties, are the natural choice of yellow wedding flower for a classic bride wishing to bring a bit of sunlight to her once-in-a-lifetime day. Available year-round, they symbolize joy, happiness and friendship - the perfect qualities for a lifelong partnership. The look is perfect for spring, summer or autumn.

What better way to celebrate a beautiful summer day than with the vibrancy of sunflowers? These yellow wedding flowers, which can cost around $3.50 per stem, offer a big impression for the price when they're in season during the summer months; a single large sunflower can be the size of some bridesmaid bouquets.

Gerbera daisies usher in summer with a smile. They're perfect for casual outdoor weddings at about $2.50 per stem. Try tying them with a black and white gingham ribbon.

Daffodils are in season in the winter and spring, and are a timeless choice of yellow wedding flowers for a more casual or outdoor affair. They're also extremely inexpensive, at 50 cents to $1 per stem.
