Bridal Bouquets

Many brides carry with them white bridal bouquets. They can be all on type of flower, like white roses or mini carnations and they could also be a combination of flower types, like dendrobium orchids with white roses and/or carnations. A nice white ranunculus bunch would be a good alternative to white roses.

There are also many lovely color combinations that can be mixed with white roses or held alone. If you like blue or

violet, delphiniums are a good choice. An iris is also lovely in blue and for those who like pastel colors (the colors of spring) pink and purple blossoms and pink roses might just be right for you. An iris might come in beautiful white and yellow, too.

A bunch of baby breaths can add a nice touch to the arrangement. The ribbon on the bouquet bridal is usually white, but you can match the ribbon or lace to the wedding colors or bridesmaid dresses if you like.

Other tips on how to choose the perfect bridal bouquets:

Shape

Pick a shape that will suit you. You'll want your bouquet to complement your body shape so that you will feel comfortable and relaxed holding it. Traditionally, if you are petite, a smaller bouquet will suit you nice. If you are tall, you can easily select a more cascading or long architectural style. The flowers you choose will help dictate the style and look of the special event.

Complexion

It's important that your bride bouquet complements your coloring. If you are naturally pale, choose a richer cream to avoid pure white flowers that will cause a draining effect in your photographs. Rich, saturated colors complement a darker complexion.

Style of dress

If you have a chic and streamlined dress, you can really go all out and add architectural or textured flowers. If you have a lot of beading and detailing on your dress, find a flower that will somehow enhance the details, not clash with them.

Personality

If you are reserved and shy, it may be a good idea to save the feathers and sparkly crystals for the bridal shower. If you choose a bouquet you are comfortable with, you will not get disappointed when it arrives.

Environment and mood

The wedding venue also plays a major role. Whether a place of worship or a terrace overlooking the 18th hole of a golf course, the venue will help the florist direct the bride to the right choice of blooms.

Freshness

Make it a priority to make sure that the flowers you choose will withstand the duration of the day. Your florist should provide a vase to ensure freshness with an open-stemmed bouquet.

Tossing the bouquet

If you wish to do this, order a smaller version of the bridal bouquet so you can just throw it over your shoulder. Many brides may find it difficult to part with the real thing though.

Remember to have fun, and enjoy as much as possible. Flowers are nothing compared to the long wonderful life ahead. We recommend you shop for beautiful bridal bouquets thru an online florist such as FTD Florists, www Teleflora COM, or other flowers on line web sites.
