Bouquets for Life
7:21 AM | Author: floristmontreal
One of the most beautiful of the bride's adornments at a wedding is the bouquet. Normally constructed of fresh flowers, the wedding bouquet would last for a week or two, and then have to be dried or tossed. Today that is not the case; today's modern bride has options that are more permanent.

There are various bridal books, magazines and shops to help you choose the perfect style and color. The arrangement you select should be a reflection of your personality and/or the color scheme of your wedding.

A growing popularity in wedding flowers is silk flowers. Silk flowers are non-allergenic, will never wilt and can be kept as a remembrance of your special day for years to come. Another advantage over silk flowers is their cost and durability.

Another option for the wedding bouquets is stunning handmade porcelain flowers. Porcelain and silk flowers are available in traditional styles. With a seemingly unlimited array of colors, these amazing creations last a lifetime. Many come with a display stand included in the purchase price, so your wedding bouquet now has become an exquisite family heirloom.

As you plan your special day, consider the option of a porcelain handmade bouquet. The cost is a bit higher, yet the memories of your ceremony will be with you forever. In addition, your wedding bouquet will be with you as well, a permanent reminder of your love for each other.

The flowers are a part of our life, excite and make us happy and also the flowers give us a reason to show the purest and sincerest feelings. A flower will never be associated to the lie, hypocrisy and cheat. By itself, the flower can command respect and also bring to light the deepest emotions.

More often, the flowers are the messenger of love and passion and respect, making the eyes and especially the soul happy. Therefore maybe the wedding bouquet is one of the most important accessories for a bride to be. In the most special moment in a girl’s life, all has to be perfect as she always dreamed. And the wedding bouquet is for the bride, she is carrying it during all day long. That’s way she’s the one who chooses the flowers, her favorite flowers and her favorite colors. Because the flowers will complete the bride and put forward her feelings and her unique personality.
The bridal bouquet has its meaning. Besides the fact that the flowers will be an unforgettable memory, the wedding bouquet is the natural perfume of the bride. Because every flower spreads a special and unique scent, the flavor of love.

There are specialized persons who are saying that the wedding flowers have to assort to external elements as restaurant, decorations, guests, wedding themes. It’s not true. All it matters is the bride’s wishes and spirituality.
There are flowers for romantic or strong personality or modern thinking or classic brides. We are not speaking about the wedding bouquet’s shape. There is another article about. We want to suggest you, as a future bride, the flowers for you to enjoy your wedding and to feel perfect in your shoes.

A romantic bride will choose discreet, tender and delicate flowers: lilies-of-the-valley, freesias, tulips, lisianthus, orchids, jasmines, arranged in a free and very simple style, without glassy accessories. She prefers white simple color or dull tones of cream, violet, pink. This bride wants her to be sensual and pure and the flowers to complete her and never to be the wedding attraction.

There are roses for the classic brides, white roses round arranged. For the classic-joyful brides, the perfect wedding bouquet will be a multicolor round rose bouquet. The classis-daring future wife will carry a completely red rose bouquet or the rose bouquet garnished with red or pink or orange or yellow mini roses. We can include here the lilies, but they also fit to the strong-personality brides.

To an elegant bride we are recommending calla lilies. If you want to be pure and simple, yet elegant, we think that the white calla lilies are the perfect flowers for you. If she wants to catch the guest’s eyes, she has to choose a white and other favorite color combination (red calla lilies would be our suggestion) for calla lily wedding bouquet. Also if it’s fall, violet, burgundy or orange calla lilies will be the perfect choice. For a spring wedding and also a happy bride, calla lilies in a multicolor bright bouquet will light up your face. The calla lilies lend to an original combination with eucalyptus leaves or Hypericum berries or Mistletoe.

If you are a strong personality person, fit yourself a wedding bouquet with dominant shaped flowers. The lilies, Amaryllis, Flamingo flower (Anthurium), Bird-of-paradise-flower (Strelitsia), Protea flower, Nerine, Delphinium, Vlam Leucospermum, Tuberose, Leucadendron are flowers for you to be original and to amaze.

There are modern wedding bouquets for modern brides. In this case, the florist or floral designer is the person who takes the decision. It’s his art. He can mix flowers from any floral category and put together flowers with different shapes and colors. The bride chooses the main line for the bridal bouquet and the florist has to know the bride’s preferences for flowers and accessories.

Flowers for happy bouquets: Alstroemeria, gerbera, sunflower, delicate anemones, Asclepias, Lilac, Australian bells, Aster, daisy, peony, daffodil, hyacinth, gladiolus, corn flowers etc.

The berries branches are beautiful, original and chic accessories for a bridal bouquet. We want to give you some suggestions: Hypericum, Mistletoe, Bittersweet, Cotoneaster, Winterberry, Magic berry, Crabapple, Hibiscus pods, Mountain ash, Pyracantha, Pepper berry, Snowberry etc.

Wedding Flowers were brought into weddings to represent new life, never-ending love, purity and fertility. The groom wears a flower that appears in the bridal bouquet, to signify his declaration of love. Bouquets traditionally consisted of flowers and herbs. Some bouquets also contained dill, since it was believed that dill promoted desire. After the ceremony, the dill would be eaten for that purpose.

An Irish bride insists on having lavender in her bouquet, as it signifies good luck and happiness. Tossing the bouquet comes from an English tradition where women would attempt to tear pieces of the bride’s dress and flowers to possibly obtain some of her good fortune. To escape from the women, the bride would toss her bouquet into the crowd and run away. It is believed today that the woman that catches the bouquet will be the next to marry.

Though some trends have blossomed and others have wilted, one thing remains true: flowers are a great way to make a highly personal statement. Here are some factors that can be considered to choose a particular type of flower:

Color is the first factor to be considered. A wedding bouquet must match the wedding gown of the bride and the other decorations. Apart from flowers, many types of ribbons, beads and baubles can be used for this purpose.

Another way to personalize a bouquet is to choose flowers that match the personality of the bride or is expressive of her background. For instance, a bride may choose to show off her Norwegian heritage by including purple heather -- Norway's signature flower. Or she might pair the groom’s and her birth-month blooms.

Bouquets can also be fashioned by keeping in mind the family tradition. The bride may carry the blooms her mother had carried for her wedding, or can wrap her bloom with her grandmother’s scarf to give it a vintage feeling.

Flowers can also be chosen for sentimental value. For example, a bride can carry flowers which the groom had given to her on their first date, or can make a bouquet of his favorite flowers. This will make the bouquet more special and personalized. The wedding flowers can also be in tune with the surrounding environment. These are a few tips to make wedding bouquets more personal and unique, but the ultimate choice, as always, remains with the bride!

If you go to your wedding florist, they will usually show you a catalogue for some ideas. There are so many types of flowers and bouquet styles to select from, so how do you know what you should look out for?

Asking yourself these few questions may help though!

1) What's your body size?

Remember, your first choice of bouquet may not be the best choice, it makes sense to get something which will look good on you instead. With all eyes on you at your wedding, it's a costly mistake to make if everything else is perfect except your wedding bouquet!

However if you are tall and lanky, a cascading type of bouquet or a hand-tied one will suit you better. Do not go for the round one as it will make you look even taller. With heels that pile on the height on the actual day, it may make you look like you tower over your hubby, especially if he is of about the same height as you.

If you are slightly on the heavy side, a cascading one will help you look slimmer on your wedding day. You will be surprised that the unique shape of the bouquet being round at the top and ending with a pointy bottom does wonders for your body shape!

2) Is there any colour theme for your wedding?

Choose the type of flowers that will complement your colour theme, especially the colour of your wedding gown. For brides who are wearing ivory or white gowns, it is a lot easier as most flowers will match. However, if you are wearing bolder colours like purple or pink, flowers that are of the same colour group but in different shades will look pleasant to the eye. Always remember, the rule of the thumb is to match. The bouquet should not look like a sore thumb against your wedding dress and get your guests talking for the wrong reasons.

3) When is your wedding held?

Certain types of flowers are seasonal, so depending on the month your wedding is, you may not be able to get them even if its your favourite bloom! Some typical all year round flowers are roses, lilies, gardenias, freesias, gerbera daisies, etc. If you wish to choose flowers like hydrangeas, tulips, they may not be available at your free will, so ask your florist for advice and plan ahead in advance!
