Wedding Bouquets

 

Hand-tied wedding bouquets continue to be the favourite style for wedding bouquets.  Hand-tied is where the flowers are gathered together and the stems are wrapped in wide ribbon.  Bouquets with a looser look have replaced the more tightly-bound shapes.
 

For a more glamorous bouquets brides can add beads, jewel pins, rhinestone picks, pearls, jewelry  and can dress add beautiful ribbons
rather than the plain ribbon to wrap the stems.
 

With themed weddings such as a garden or beach themes, adding feathers, shells, berries and pinecones adds to a beautiful bouquet.

Roses are the most popular flower for wedding bouquets.  Calla Lilies, peonies, hydrangeas, tulips and orchids, gerbras are becoming trendier choices.

 

One of the freshest ideas is for the mothers of the bride and groom to forgo the corsage.  More and more mothers are carrying small posies instead of wearing the traditional corsage.
 

Replace the more expensive or delicate flower such as the calla lily with a "silk" or "everlasting" flower.  These products have come a long way and it is hard to differentiate what's real.  Combining fresh and "artificial" is a very economical way to add the look that you want and to keep your costs down or preserve "look" with out the flower wilting or turning brown.
