The blooms you carry on your
wedding day should suit you and complement your
gown in every way. Here are some pointers :
Start thinking about your
ideal bouquet once you have selected your
bridal gown.
Flipping through magazines
and surfing the Internet can help you discover
what appeals to you.
Traditional weddings often
call for sophisticated and classic styles
whereas casual events can be more conducive
to funky and quirky arrangements.
Pair a simple bouquet with
an elaborate gown and vice versa.
Small blooms work better
with petite ladies whereas statuesque women
tend to carry off larger blooms better.
Meet with several candidates
before settling on the floral designer whom
you feel most comfortable with. A good florist
should be able to tell you whether you are
realistic and should also be able to work
round your budget.
