My Bridal Fashion Guide to Wedding Bouquet & Flowers

Bouquet

A few tips:

  • Your wedding gown provides the background color for your bridal bouquet. Whatever color you choose, however, the color of your flowers must complement the color of the gown you’re wearing.

  • A bridal bouquet should be part of the total picture and shouldn’t stand-alone. It should tie in with the color scheme of your bridesmaids dresses.

  • Before meeting with potential florists, gather as much inspiration as possible – including styles you like as well as those you dislike. If possible, collect photos, color swatches of linens and bridesmaid dresses, invitations, etc. to bring to the meeting. This information will be a great starting point and will, hopefully, convey the theme and vision you have for the wedding day.
  • Get familiar with the different types of flowers — especially your favorites — and the colors they come in.
  • When you are choosing a bouquet, take into consideration the time of the year and the seasons. Different types of flowers match better for each season and also certain flowers only grow during specific times of the year.  Roses and orchids are available year-round. Calla lilies and tulips bloom during the winter and spring. Hydrangea are in season during the summer and fall. And the ever popular peonies only bless us with their beauty during the spring. If there is a must have flower on your list, make sure to get married when that flower is in full bloom. (via http://www.celebritybrideguide.com/brian-worley-blog-flowers/ )
  • Another factor in choosing the bouquet is thinking about the theme of the wedding and the other elements in the wedding. That means the flowers you choose should compliment the look of the bride’s dress, the bridal party dresses, fabrics and colors, and their flowers.
