FIND A WEDDING BOUQUET THAT’S PERFECT FOR YOU
Choosing your wedding bouquet is one of the most important planning decisions of your big day.
First impressions count. Your bouquet will be a major factor in the all-important first impression you create as you walk down the aisle. All the guests will be looking closely but more importantly, it will be the first glimpse that your future husband will get of his wife-to-be!Choose carefully and try and imagine how it will look from far away, and from close-up.
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 flowers blossom in the day, while others shine at night.
Creative ideas can come from magazines, bridal shows, friends’ weddings and the internet.It’s not always easy to know where to start when there are so many choices out there.It’s often best to start by chatting to your local florist who will be able to take your ideas and make creative and practical recommendations.To get the creative juices flowing, it’s a good idea to take a picture or sketch of your dress to the first meeting.
A more simple sheath dress can be complemented by many different designs, including cascading arrangements, clusters of flowers or loosely tied bunches.Lovely velvet ribbon or other accessories can also be used.A dress that is more ornate and voluminous needs balancing with a bouquet that isn’t going to compete with the embellishments.
There are so many types of bouquets from the traditional to the bold, modern creations.Some ideas are a basket of flowers for a country-style wedding, a round ball of tightly packed roses, a loose hand-tied bunch with ribbon, a wreath, a bouquet in the bride’s arms or a single specimen lily tied onto a wrist.It’s important to get the proportions right according to the dress.
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 !Some varieties are also better in the heat of the day, such as arum lilies, baby’s breath, carnations and daisies. Advice from a florist who has many years’ experience in wedding flowers in Perth, Angel Flowers, is that a professional florist will have ways of preserving the life of the bouquet. And remember, even the calmest of brides will transfer their body heat to the bouquet which could cause wilting.Take great care if using varieties such as gardenias and stephanotis which bruise with handling.
And don’t forget to give some thought to your complexion, as different flower varieties will suit pale or dark-skinned brides.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 further ideas, try florist websites such as Perth wedding flowers specialist, Angel Flowers.
