How To Select The Perfect Wedding Bouquet

 
How to select the perfect wedding bouquet
 
Are you getting married soon? Have you thought about why type of
bouquet you are going to have?
It's a difficult choice and given there is such a great deal of
options, then that makes it doubly hard.
These days there is such an abundance of choice that there are
very few restrictions.
There are only a few restrictions that you should consider
before making your choice and that is the style & fabric of your
dress along with the theme of wedding that you are having.
Although there are many types of bouquet available, these
generally fit into a few key categories and these are detailed
below.
The first style of bouquet is very common to many weddings this
season and that's due to it's simple nature. Usually consisting
of a bunch of calla lillies or tulip, this arrangement is
designed to be carried across the arm. Such an arrangement lends
itself to a spring or summer event that have a pure and simple
theme. So, don't forget your garden wedding favours to complete
the look.
Note though that these can look quite plain and ordinary if
table decorations and bridesmaids are also in whites and creams.
The ever faithful trailing bouquets are always popular too as
they add drama to the bridal gown. These bouquets are ideal for
shorter, rounder brides as they are very slimming.
They can look over the top if they are too big and can detract
from the bride herself, so watch out. Trailing bouquets can
contain many types of bloom such as lilies, roses and greenery.
A round hand held posy would usually be held by bridesmaids
although more and more brides are going for this option. These
are shaped like a small ball into which roses are worked to
produce a beautiful pattern whichever angle it is viewed from.
These bouquets last really well because the centrepiece is
usually heavily watered thus making this choice a great one for
warm weather weddings. A floaty and trailing round bouquet is a
great alternative; this is the kind that is more loosely tied
and often with trailing greenery. This has all the advantages of
the usual hand held posy except the look is softer and less
'neat.' This makes the bouquet look more natural and less
contrived which is perfect for brides who are looking for
something more unusual and organic looking.
If you are a fashion victim hell bent on showing off,t hen go
for a funky bouquet. These often include other objects such as
feathers, ribbons, shells etc in addition to flowers. Some
brides choose to have no fresh flowers in their bouquet at all.
The beauty of a bouquet like this is that it won't wilt, it will
last much longer and will provide a real talking point.
Whether you are going for a classical posy, a trailing bouquet
or an unusual bouquet, it should be a personal choice. The type
of bouquet you choose needs to be right for you and in keeping
with the rest of the theme for your big day.
