A wedding would not be the same without flowers. Every bride wants her wedding to be memorable, and her choice of wedding flowers or arrangements should reflect her specific taste and personality.
How to Choose Your Wedding Flowers
Understand there are no right or wrong choices when selecting your wedding flowers. It is your personal choice. Your preferences are the most important part, as well as a basic understanding of what works well for your chosen theme and your budget.
Start by looking through bridal magazines, books, and even gardening books focusing on flowers. If you don’t know the types of flowers, you’d like to have at the wedding. Simply looking at beautifully photographed flowers can be a lovely way to understand what you like. Learn the different meanings of the flowers. So that this can play a part in your decision, you might want to express certain sentiments through the “language of flowers.”
Consider the color of the flowers. Color is an important part of your decision about which flowers to have. The colors chosen should complement the bridal gown, the wedding theme, and the clothing of the rest of the bridal party.
Start with the bridal bouquet. This is the most intimate floral arrangement for the wedding, and if you can’t afford many flowers, at least don’t skimp on the bouquet! The bride’s bouquet should be the largest and most spectacular at the wedding party.
Decide upon the bridesmaids’ bouquets. The bridesmaids’ flowers can be a smaller version of the brides’ flowers or a different shape but still maintain the color theme. The bridesmaids could carry round bouquets if the bride carries a trailing bouquet. Ultimately, aim for good coordination.
Also….
Decide upon the style of the flower girl’s flowers. This daintiest wedding party member could carry a small basket of flowers to match the bridesmaids’ flowers. The basket can be sprayed white or a pastel shade. Also another alternative is to attach a spray of flowers to a piece of ribbon and tie it around the flower girl’s wrist. This is particularly suitable for a very young flower girl who may find a basket awkward to carry.
Prepare the bridegroom and groomsmen. Although their need for flowers is less showy, it’s just as important. For the groom, provide something slightly different from the buttonholes for the groomsmen. Such as a single flower that is the same as one in the bridal bouquet. Flowers popular for buttonholes include roses, carnations, orchids, and small lily varieties. Lily of the Valley is popular for buttonholes because it is an expensive flower but goes a long way in a buttonhole.
