A Wedding Flower Guide
When it comes to choosing wedding flowers, many brides may know
the wedding flower they want in their own bouquet, but are a
little mystified about the rest of the wedding flowers needed to
fill out the ceremony and reception.
While you can leave all your wedding flower selections in the
hands of a capable professional florist and get great results,
you may want to take a more hands on approach. We hope this
wedding flower guide will help making planning your most special
day just a little easier.
Your first decision should be whether you plan to use a
professional florist to create a wedding flower arrangement and
bouquets, or if you'd rather visit a wholesale wedding flower
retailer and order flowers to make your own bridal bouquets,
boutonnieres and so forth.
If you are the creative type, a simple floral craft book will
give you all the tips and tool lists necessary to create your
own custom wedding flowers that reflect your personal style.
It's a good idea to purchase some flowers to practice with ahead
of time to make sure you'll be happy with your results. Whatever
you decide, there are some standard traditions and suggestions
to help make sure you've covered all your wedding flower needs.

A Few Extra Wedding Flower Tips
* Maid/Matron of Honor wedding bouquets should be slightly more
elaborate or in a different color shade than the rest of the
bridesmaid wedding bouquets.
* The Best Man boutonniere should be slightly more elaborate
than the rest of the groomsmen boutonnieres.
* The corsages/boutonnieres for the parents should differ
slightly from the step-parents, and all grandparent
corsages/boutonnieres should be different as well. It makes it
easier for guests to keep track of who's who.
* Wedding flower arrangements from the church can be transferred
to the reception hall for double duty.
* Bridesmaid wedding bouquets could be set in waiting vases and
used as decoration for the bridal table.
Remember, these are just wedding flower guidelines. When it
comes to your special day, your wedding flower selections and
arrangements should reflect your personal taste and style. You
can keep things simple or get as elaborate as you like, as long
as your wedding flowers help you create the perfectly romantic
wedding day you've always dreamed of.
