Wedding Bouquets
If you are trying to decide on which type of
bouquet to get for your wedding, check out the styles below. Each one will change a bride's look, thus they should be chosen carefully to best match her style, size, and shape. The bouquet's colors should match the style and formality of the
pew markers, and
garlands). Finally, make sure that they also match any
corsages or
boutonnieres worn by the attendants or bridal party. If you use a professional florist, he or she will take care of these things for you; if you are doing all the flowers on your own, keep all these things in mind. Don't forget to order enough flowers plus a little extra, just in case a few get damaged.
The bottom line is that the flowers should all harmonize. Check out the latest
bridal magazines for more ideas and suggestions.
Bouquet Shapes
The most important factor in choosing a bouquet shape and size is... '''you'''. Are you big or small? What kind of dress are you wearing? What is your personal style? Bouquets should harmonize and accentuate, not try to steal the show!
embroidery, opt for a smaller bouquet so that you don't obscure or overwhelm the embellishments. Above all, though, you have to like your bouquet, so go for the one that suits your personality.
Bouquet Tips
* Never get a bouquet that is so big or so flashy that it upstages the bride's gown, or even the bride herself.
* The bridesmaids' bouquets should be similar to the bride's bouquet and should complement the color of their dresses. Usually they are a little bit smaller too, but that is not a rule. It is, however, a good idea for the maid of honor to not be overwhelmed by her own bouquet, since she will also be expected to hold the bride's bouqet during the ceremony!
* You can always use silk flowers if you can't afford fresh ones.
* A good way to cut costs on bridesmaids bouquets is to have them carry one single flower instead of a bouquet. Simply tie it with a pretty bow or ribbon and make sure that it matches a flower in the bride's bouquet.
* Bouquets aren't the only way to dress up the bridal party.
wreaths are other options. Wreaths are especially charming on flower girls.
