As you might know, your wedding bouquet is an important part of the planning process as bouquets of flowers have always been a BIG attraction at any wedding.
A bouquet of flowers symbolizes a blossoming maiden and reflects her emotions.
And so, wedding bouquets should be carefully selected and planned the same way you plan for your wedding gown.
Here are just a few tips for choosing your wedding bouquet:
1. It is recommended that you choose a flower that is in season to save money and time.
This will not give you a hard time trying to order the flower as well.
2. Your bouquet should not drown you.
Be sure that it will not cover your figure. If you are petite, the weight of the flower might be too heavy for your build and may affect your posture and how you carry your gown.
Remember that your bouquet should not be too big so as not to cover your elegant gown and should be easy to carry.
3. The flowers you chose should last for the entire day.
Make sure that your flowers still hold up even at the end of the day so that you will still look glamorous when taking pictures. Using a bouquet holder is suggested to keep the flowers fresh during the entire day.
Also, take the advice of your florist on which flowers easily wilt so that you can avoid choosing them.
4. Take a picture or a printed copy of the bouquet style you prefer for your florist.
Also, bring a sample fabric of the gowns so that the florist can choose the correct shade of flowers that will match the color of the gowns. Some bouquets may be decorated with ribbons, lace, and silk materials.
You can ask your wedding florist what specific designs you would like to add to your flowers.
5. Why not choose a flower that has a special meaning?
That will not be difficult since most flowers have their meanings. Stephanotis stands for happiness in marriage, Rose means love and being true, and Tulips stands for perfect love and declaration of love.
6. One of the first things to consider when opting for a bouquet is style.
Choose the bouquet style that will suit you and your personality.
Bouquets are more personal nowadays and reflect the brides’ personalities.
Nosegays, where flowers are clustered in a round form, can vary in sophistication and will fit any personality.
In Cascade bouquets, flowers are arranged in a descending form.
These bouquets are voluptuous and can be the center of attention. They are recommended for traditional weddings.
There are flowers where stems are wrapped around in ribbons and they are called Hand-tied bouquets. These bouquets bring a casual aura and are recommended for garden weddings.
There are also Contemporary bouquets where flowers are arranged in style but with no geometric form.
These arrangements of flowers represent the individuality of a bride and are mostly used in sophisticated weddings.
