Different Forms of Wedding Bouquets

When choosing your wedding bouquet you have to consider the style of the wedding. Is it a formal wedding, a garden wedding, a beach wedding? The style of your dress. A bouquet should complement your wedding attire, not overwelm it. Your height and build. A small bride will look even smaller with a gigantic bouquet. The month of the wedding. Not all flowers work in all climates. Tulips don´t like the heat and open, callas are good for all climates. The basic forms of wedding bouquets are: hand tied, round, posies, cascading, tear drop.

Help in Choosing the Perfect Wedding Bouquet

One of the most important details the day of your wedding, will be the bridal bouquet. What flowers to choose and the shape it will have, will be the two key decisions in looking spectacular that day. It´s important to take into account not only your favorite flowers, but also, your height, the dress, the formality of the event, and the time of the year your getting married. One of the factor to consider when choosing your wedding bouquet, is to remember that you´ll be holding it for a long time. The wedding bouquet will be in your hands during the ceremony, the pictures, and other times, so the bouquet should feel comfortable in your hands. In the same way that your wedding dress reflects your style and personality, the wedding bouquet should do it also. There are infinite flower combinations, shapes and embellishments fora wedding bouquet. No two brides are identical, and no two bridal bouquets should be either. If you´re a tall bride, your bouquet shoul be in proportion to your height. However, if you´re a petite bride, an enormous bouquet will overpower you. In choosing the perfect wedding bouquet, you should also take into consideration the tone of your skin and the color of your hair. It should all look harmonious and not clash.

Other Factors in Choosing a Wedding Bouquet

Almost every bride can think of a favorite flowers she´s had since she was a little girl. One of the most used flowers in wedding bouquets are lilies, followed by roses, orchids, tulips, jasmines, and callas. Don´t forget to ask your florist if the flowers you´re choosing for your wedding bouquet are a good choice for the time of the year your getting married. Some flowers are sturdier than other in the heat. Take the time to find a florist you feel comfortable working with, if you feel the florist is not taking into account your tastes and opinions, you´re much better off finding someone else. The florist will want to know the place, month and time of the day the ceremony will be taking place. It´s not the same a beach wedding than a formal church ceremony.
