   The traditional wedding colors for January are shades of blue, silver, burgundy, dusky pink and of course white.

   If you want the trendy colors for a January 2009 wedding look to the fashion industry. The forecast for colors involves a wide range of intense colors and earthy neutrals. Dark and urban form the color pallette for winter 2009. Subtle darks, such as midnight blue, graphite grays and deep purples, are the color foundation that the rich earthy browns and greens as well as the sublime taupish beiges, sensuous pinks and raspberry reds build upon. White is not forgotten this season but is complimented with a blush of green or pink. This is a fantastic color pallette. Any wedding using one or more of these colors will be an elegant and regal affair.

   However finding a flowers in all of these colors for your wedding will be a problem. To incorporate these trendy wedding colors, you will have to pair flowers with accessories. For example graphite gray is not a flower color but deep purple is a wedding flower color. A bouquet of Lisanthus or deep purple roses with a graphite ribbon can complete the trendy color scheme.

   Decide which colors you want for your wedding and then contact your florist and discuss the wedding flowers available in those colors.

   Here is a short list of the January wedding flowers available (this is only a short list and there are many other options):

   Allium - comes in a deep purple
   Alstroemeria - comes in a hot, purple, orange
   Anthurium - brown, terra, pink, red
   Aster - purple, hot pink, red,
   Astilbe - white
   Bouvardia - hot pink, green
   Callas - white, pink, red, purple, orange
   Carnations - white, pink, green, purple, red
   Delphinium - dark blue, pink purple
   Freesia - hot pink, orange, raspberry red, purple
   Gerbera - raspberry red, hot pink, white
   Gladiolus - White, purple, red, orange, hot pink, green
   Iris - Dark blue, purple, white
   Asiatic Lilies - white, orange, hot pink
   Lisanthus - purple, cream, pink
   Ranunculus - hot pink, red, orange
   Roses - hot pink, white, blush, red, purple
   Snapdragons - hot pink, white, red, purple

   As I said this is just a short list of wedding flowers available in January. Many of these flower colors will work with the wedding trends for 2009.

   The most important thing to remember is that your local wedding florist can work in accessories for the wedding colors that are not available in flowers. Winter is a time for rich intense color and the choice is really up to you. The one thing I would avoid is any use of pastel or “sunny” colors, since these are usually spring or summer colors.

   Well deep-colored and darker flowers are very in. I’d go with roses, delphinium, or alliums. But if I were you I’d look at fashion shows and research what the trends will be. It also doesn’t hurt to look at old magazines and see what people have done in the past.
