Wedding Bouquet: Think Different
A simple and elegant wedding bouquet is the perfect accessory to
compliment your gorgeous gown and smiling face. We say 'simple'
because you want your wedding bouquet to highlight your dress,
not detract from it. If your bouquet is too 'flashy,' your dress
may not receive the attention it deserves.
Nevertheless, this is not to say that your bridal bouquet should
be plain, white, and boring. That's not the case at all. Just
keep the flashiness in check! As a matter of fact, it's become
very popular for the modern bride to use pastel colors in their
bridal bouquets. Soft pink's and blue's can add a magnificent
touch to any wedding dress. The hue's are very uplifting and
pleasant.
Believe it or not, not everyone prefers a bouquet of fresh
flowers. Many women have allergies, which prevent them from
enjoying the subtle scent a fresh flower can bring. To
accommodate these brides, many florists make bouquets of silk
flowers. Instead of frowning at this idea, consider the
advantage of silk flowers: like your love, silk flowers will
never wither. They're a keepsake that will last for years! In
addition, silk flowers require less maintenance during the
course of the evening, and they're usually less costly.
However, if you have your heart set on a bouquet of real wedding
flowers, have you considered wild flowers? This is a wonderful
idea if you're having a garden-style or country wedding in the
outdoors. The colors and scents are spectacular and very
pleasing to the senses. They will look magnificent with any
dress in the spring or summer. Unfortunately, wildflowers do not
really go with the 'theme' of a winter wedding.
If you haven't decided what type of flowers to use for your
wedding bouquet, mull these options over. Use your resources
(such as the internet) to look at different varieties of silk
flowers and real wild flowers. Several wildflowers that are
suggested are: Queen Anne's lace, poppies, Canada Lily, European
Columbine, New England Aster, true forget-me-not, Indian
blanket, and Carolina Spring Beauty.
Don't be afraid to ask your local florist for quotes on bouquets
of such flowers in comparison to other fresh flowers. You might
discover that you'll save a bundle going the route of
wildflowers as opposed to a bouquet of roses and another
variety. While you're at the florist, ask to see pictures of
different wildflower bouquets and silk bouquets (which they may
have arranged). They say a picture says a thousand words! You
might be blown away by a bouquet arrangement that you may not
have considered before
