The Bride's Flowers
What's your style?
Some brides just LOVE the huge draping bouquets, while others may
choose the more modern small bouquet.
Whatever your style, when you choose your bouquet, consider the
style of your gown, your height, your dress, and the season! If
you selected your gown prior to visiting the florist, take a picture
of your gown or swatch of the fabric with you when selecting your
bouquet. This will help the florist suggest beautiful designs for
you!
Don't be afraid of using silks for your bouquet! Silk flowers will
last a lifetime and you will have a beautiful and meaningful memento
from your ceremony! |
Flowers for the Wedding Party
Bridesmaids carry bouquets similar to the bridal bouquet. Typically
they are smaller, however. They can also wear corsages or wrist
bracelets.
The Groom, Groomsmen, Ushers, and Fathers typically wear boutonnieres.
The boutonnieres may be of a different color or flower than the
bridesmaid's bouquet.
Don't be afraid to be creative! Be sure to take a swatch of fabric
from the bridesmaid's dresses to your florist so he or she can match
the flowers to the dress! |
