BRIDAL BOUQUETS – TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
A wedding bouquet is a focal point of the big day.
First impressions count.Your bouquet will be a focal point as your walk down the aisle.Just as all your family and friends will be getting a close look – your husband-to-be will get his first look at his gorgeous wife-to-be!Choose wisely – proportion is vital.
The bouquet will also feature in many treasured photographs which are often displayed prominently around the home – so the bouquet is high visibility.It’s a focal point and should be chosen taking all aspects of the event into consideration, including your dress, your own personality and shape, plus the theme of the event and even the time of the event. Some varieties can handle a hot summer’s day, whilst there are others that are better in the evening.
You can get ideas from wedding exhibitions, photos, magazines and the internet.It’s not always easy to know where to start when there are so many choices out there.At the outset, brides should chat to a professional florist about ideas as the florist will offer creative ideas as well as practical advice.To get the creative juices flowing, it’s a good idea to take a picture or sketch of your dress to the first meeting.
If the dress is sleek and streamlined, it can cope with many different styles including clusters and cascades.Lovely velvet ribbon or other accessories can also be used.And if the dress is more ornate and detailed, it’s wise to check that the chosen style of bouquet won’t vie for attention with the dress.
Today’s brides are choosing all sorts of different bouquets, from the olde world arrangements to modern, bold designs.The only limit is imagination, but here are some of the different types to think about : trailing cascading arrangements, round balls of tightly packed rose buds, loose hand-tied informal arrangements, single blooms tied onto a wrist, a basket of flowers or petals.Getting the proportions right is key.
Some flower varieties close their petals at nightfall, so if you’re planning an evening wedding – make sure you’ve chosen your flowers as well as you’ve chosen your future !There are varieties that can handle heat, such as gypsophila, calla lilies, daisies and carnations.A Perth wedding flowers expert, Angel Flowers says professional florists will have their own ways of making sure the bouquet lasts the distance. And remember, even the calmest of brides will transfer their body heat to the bouquet which could cause wilting. It’s also best to avoid varieties such as gardenias and stephanotis that don’t like being handled and which bruise easily.
It’s also important to think about your complexion as different hues of flowers are more suited to certain skin types.Dark-skinned brides can look wonderful with bright colours and paler skinned brides should choose cream flowers over white, to avoid looking a bit washed out.
These ideas are just the beginning. For more inspiration, visit florist websites such as Perth wedding flowers, Angel Flowers.A fllorist who is happy to provide photos of their work is your best bet to turn your dreams into a gorgeous, unforgettable reality.
