Flower bouquet tips and ideas for your wedding...

Here's some additional bouquet suggestions and ideas.

Don't let your bouquet overwhelm you. A beautiful gown will be over-shadowed by a large, cascading bouquet.

Local, in-season flowers will guarantee freshness and lower cost, so choose a couple of seasonal staples such as orange blossoms, lavender, or tulips and use them as a base for bouquets, boutonnieres, and decorative arrangements.

Select flowers which will hold up for the entire day. Particularly if you are taking pictures before the ceremony or outside, you want to make sure that you select flowers that will still look gorgeous when you walk down the aisle.

Flowers in matching shades or cool contrasts are stunning, but make sure they suit your wedding. Bring a bridesmaid dress fabric swatch when you meet with your floral designer to make sure the color is matching.

Florists who specialize in weddings may do more than just blossoms; they also conceive and execute the design for your reception, from flowers to linens, candles, decorative trees, lights and more. You should start looking for a professional designer at least several months before the wedding, or earlier.

Consider silk flowers. Although not as traditional as real flowers, they are becoming more popular. Today, there are many realistic looking silks to be found. Beside that, silks are a less expensive alternative to real flowers. You also save money on preservation after the wedding.
