Flower bouquets are always an attraction at every wedding. Bouquets are a vital part of the wedding traditions in all races. The bouquet symbolizes the blossoming bride and reflects the emotion that she goes through. Hence, wedding bouquets require the same care, attention and planning that you put for your bridal gown. Listed below are some tips to help you while selecting the perfect bouquet for your wedding.
1. It is suggested that you select flowers that are easily available in the season so that you may save time and money. Otherwise, you will have a hard time ordering the flowers you need.
2. As an alternative, you could make use of silk flowers, in case the flower you like is not available at present. Besides, silk flowers suit formal occasions whereas fresh flowers do not fit in to a formal reception.
3. The bouquet must not drown you. Make sure it does not cover your structure. If you are slim, the weight of the bouquet may be too heavy for you to carry, affecting your posture and the way you carry yourself. Ensure that the bouquet is not too large that it covers your wedding gown and it must be rather easy for you to carry around.
4. The flower that you choose must remain fresh throughout the day. Remember to check if your bouquet will hold up and remain fresh even towards the end of the ceremony so that you manage to look beautiful when pictures are clicked. A bouquet holder is probably a good way to keep the flower vibrant throughout the wedding. Also, go to your florist for advice on flowers that dry up quickly, so that you may avoid using them.
5. Do not allow your florist to assume a flower design that you would like. Take a printed copy or a picture of the bouquet that you prefer. Remember to take a sample of your wedding gown fabric so that your florist can select the right shade of flowers that will go with the gown. There are some bouquets that are richly decorated with lace, ribbons and silk. You could mention the specific designs that you would like on your bouquet.
6. Why don't you select a flower that possesses a special significance? This is not particularly difficult because most flowers have a specific meaning. Roses stand for love and true relationships, Tulips for declaration of love and perfection in love, and Stephanotis symbolizes happy marriages.
7. One of the most important things to remember while choosing a bouquet is its style. Select a bouquet that matches your style and personality. Bouquets have become a personal issue these days as they appear to reflect the personality of the bride. Nosegays are flowers that are clustered in a round design, which varies in sophistication and fits any personality. Flowers are arranged in descending order in Cascade bouquets. Such bouquets are seemingly voluptuous and steal the spotlight.
These are popular in traditional wedding scenarios. There are some flowers whose stems are tied with ribbons and these are referred to as Hand-tied bouquets. They possess a casual aura, and they are commonly used in garden weddings. The Contemporary bouquets are arranged with no specific geometry. Such arrangements symbolize the individuality of the bride and are used mostly in sophisticated marriages.
8. The most popular wedding flowers include Lilly, Hyacinth, Rose, Tulip, Daisy, Orchid and Stephanotis. Follow the trends and choose one of these for your wedding bouquet.
