Everyone knows that the bridal bouquet plays a very important role in a wedding, especially considering how close it is to the second main attraction of the day — the bride’s dress.
(You guessed right, the bride will always be the main event.) As we fully approach wedding season, how about we discuss one of the most important subjects of the day — bright and beautiful wedding bouquets! How do you choose the right one? Where should you begin to look? We’ve got tips.
When it comes to planning the entire wedding, we’re well aware that a bouquet, compared to other things like your dress, hair, and makeup might not seem like a priority. However, the flower bunch is a standout component and that’s why we suggest you put it into consideration early on. It certainly doesn’t sit well if you ignore such an important detail to the last minute and then pick up any flower you stumble upon. That’s a certified recipe for an uncoordinated look. On the other hand, if you take your bouquet into account early on, it ensures that the overall vibe of your wedding is visible even to the tiniest detail. For instance, if you’re going for a classic vibe, then a bunch of white roses will do the trick.
Another factor to consider is how colorful you want our wedding bouquet to be. While this is completely up to you, we do suggest opting for eye-catching, colorful wedding bouquets to brighten your big day. Why? Because it’s the season of flowers, baby, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t indulge in the brightest of them all. After all, you’re about to make somebody’s son the happiest man alive, and your flowers should communicate this.
Also, a colorful wedding bouquet has a way of complementing any wedding dress. Whether you’re getting hitched in a white, ivory, or colored dress, you certainly can’t go wrong with a color-rich floral arrangement. However, as mentioned earlier, this is completely up to you. If black roses are your thing, knock yourself out!
If you’ve been dreaming of a colorful arrangement bursting with a variety of lovely flowers, you can now wake up as we’ve got select inspiration and tips for you.
Here are some important things to note when choosing a wedding bouquet…
#1. Get the mix right
You’ve to get the mix of colors and flowers right. The colors should complement your dress and wedding hues while the flowers should come together to give an aesthetically pleasing blend. A professional florist is the best to help you put your dream bouquet together.
#2. Do your research
Except you are RICH RICH and want your flowers flown in, you have to make sure that you know what season your preferred flowers bloom and choose accordingly. Imagine the disappointment you may feel when you’re told that the flowers of your dreams aren’t in season. So, do your research and select an arrangement that’s in season.
#3. Consider your dress
Are you going for a big, voluminous gown? Then a smaller-sized arrangement would work best and vice versa. What we are pointing out is the need to consider your size and the type of dress you would be wearing as you want a wedding bouquet that would complement everything about you.
#4. Fresh or faux?
While you may love fresh flowers, they don’t come cheap, especially in Africa. In this regard, consider your wedding budget and know what you can afford. Of course, we’ve already established that your flowers are an important part of your ensemble, but they aren’t the whole wedding. Therefore, apportion your resources diligently. On the other hand, if fresh flowers are costing more than you’re willing to spend, then consider faux or silk options. They are just as beautiful as their “natural” counterparts. Plus, when you toss your bouquet, there’s less chance it scatters all over the place as fresh flowers often do. Yeah, we know. Those classy girls can go vicious mode during the toss.
