<\/a><\/p>\nBefore you pick that beautiful bouquet, here are a few essentials you might like to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
When you are getting married<\/h3>\n
The flowers you choose, both for your bouquet and for your floral arrangements may depend on the season. If you have a specific flower that is a must for your bouquet, you may need to pick your wedding date to make sure it is available. Naturally some flowers can be imported even when they are out of season at home, but this will add more cost to your flower bill.<\/p>\n
Your available budget<\/h3>\n
The wedding budget you have set yourselves will influence the type of bouquet you can afford. As a guideline, 10-20% of your total wedding expenses will be your flowers and your bouquet is one item you certainly shouldn’t cut corners on as it will be central to so many of your pictures.<\/p>\n
Your wedding dress<\/h3>\n
Presuming you have chosen your wedding gown prior to picking your flowers, you can give your florist a photo of your dress to help them design a bouquet that complements it. As well as the general feel and style of the dress, the shape of the skirt can be essential in deciding which bouquet will work best.<\/p>\n
The shape of your bouquet<\/h3>\n
For simplicity a modest hand tied bouquet looks wonderful with an informal or unstructured gown, or a contemporary nosegay can be a sleek modern alternative. Another great shape for bridal bouquets is the cascade, also referred to as the teardrop or waterfall. This is an elegant, modern shape where the flowers seem to float down the bride\u2019s gown, and it looks good with any full length wedding dress. The classic wired bouquet is making a comeback and is a traditional choice for a structured dress. Finally you could consider a pomander, or flower covered ball, hung from a ribbon, to give a romantic feel to a summer wedding.<\/p>\n
