Also known as the brain flower, for obvious reasons, the Celosia flower is very interesting with bold color and texture. By using the Celosia in your wedding flowers, whether that be the bride’s bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, centerpieces, or as the boutonniere for groomsmen, the Celosia will definitely add some drama to your wedding decor.
While not necessarily as large as a hydrangea, Celosia still has mass and is a great option to use in your centerpieces for your wedding reception, as they’ll take up a little more space, and you might get away having to use less flowers, depending on the size of your centerpieces and costs. Check out the use of the green Celosia in these gorgeous centerpieces as found on Style Me Pretty.
