There are several images that automatically come to mind when we think about weddings. ? We might think of a church decorated with flowers and layers of tulle, the aisle strewn with petals. ? We might think about bridesmaids in pretty identical dresses and sweet-looking flower girls looking thrilled to be at the center of attention for the few minutes they will be walking down the aisle. ? But the most prominent image that we associate with weddings is the bride in a white ball-gown dress, her hair covered by a long translucent veil, cradling a beautiful bouquet of flowers in her hands. ? The tradition of carrying a bridal bouquet is almost as old as weddings themselves. ? Flowers symbolize fertility, but very little research is done on the origin of the bridal bouquet and the tradition of throwing the bouquet and passing on the fertility to another woman in the wedding. ? Nevertheless, the wedding bouquet is a time-honored tradition that is observed in different ways. ? Bridal bouquets can be either a single, long-stemmed flower tied with a colorful ribbon, a large bunch of many different flowers, or something in between. ? Most brides say that choosing the flowers to go with the bouquet is a difficult decision to make. ? However, there is no such thing as the “right” or “wrong” bouquet. ? The only right bridal bouquet is whatever you want it to be. ? If you’ve always wanted a bridal bouquet of dazzling tropical Philippine flowers enhanced by glittering Swarovski crystals, then you should definitely go for it. ? A single red rose wrapped in lace would be just as stunning. ? If you’re having difficulty deciding, here’s a tip: think of a way you can connect the flowers to your wedding gown and the bridesmaids’ dresses. ? If your wedding dress is ivory white while your bridesmaids are wearing peach, a coral rose bouquet will make the colors stand out. ? For a colorful bridal bouquet, remember that colors that are shades of each other will give your bouquet a more subtle look. ? If you’re wearing a simple dress, try a bouquet with contrasting colors as the flowers will stand out more than your dress. Another area for variety is the bouquet’s shape. ? The most popular arrangement is the round one, but you can always add a unique twist to it by giving it a downward point of greenery and lace. ? You can also place beads or crystals and allow them to trail over the bottom edge to make your bridal bouquet sparkle. ? ?There is an incredibly array of options for brides when it comes to choosing the flowers, styles, and arrangement of the bridal bouquet. ? With florists offering a dizzying array of options for weddings, you’d be hard-pressed to find the right bridal bouquet to complement your dress on your wedding day.

The universal flower for weddings is most definitely the rose. White or red are the most common. It was proclaimed by Venus, the Roman goddess of love, that the red rose was the most beautiful of all flowers. So it came to be that the red rose represented true love.

When you are choosing the flowers for your wedding there are several things to take into account.

1) First of all, it is your wedding and should emulate your personality and be the theme for the ceremony and reception. It shouldn?t be what your mother always wanted or your bridesmaid?s favorite flowers. It?s about what you want.

2) Look at a lot of photographs of wedding flowers and bouquets. You need to get familiar with flowers, styles and colors. The internet is an awesome tool for that. It used to be that you?d have to go to a florist to do this and you may still want to but fortunately there are a lot more options.

3) As you browse through the pages, start with style first. Do you like the bouquets that are long with ivy and ribbons, maybe compact and round, exotic, possibly long flowers that you carry on your arm almost like carrying a baby? The reason I suggest style first is because certain flowers are suited to each style.

4) Remember, large bouquets can be very heavy and if you have a small frame then you may want to reconsider a large bouquet. I have done bridal bouquets that have weighed as much as 30 to 40 pounds.

5) Once you have decided on a style then it can be determined what flowers and colors you would like. Sometimes you get lucky and see a bouquet and that is exactly the one you want. But don?t be afraid to get creative. I once did a wedding where the bride (who married on Valentines Day) chose a round red bouquet for herself and the bridesmaid?s wore white and red dresses so we made half the bouquet red and the other half white roses. At the reception the bouquets were then placed in red vases and served as flowers for the head table. It was very effective. You can be as creative as you want. 6) You can also choose flowers for their meanings. Here are some of the more common flowers used in weddings:

Red rose – True love

White rose ? innocence and purity, I am worthy of you.

White carnation ? fascination, love of a woman

White lily ? purity, heavenly

Cala lily ? beauty

Red tulips ? declaration of love

Babies breath ? pure of heart

Blue violet ? faithfulness

Hyacinth ? loveliness

Iris- warmth and affection

Daisy ? innocence

Ivy ? eternal love and fidelity

7) If you want fragrant flowers then I would go with white casa blanca or star- gazer lilies, hyacinth, tuber roses, and gardenias. The fragrance would be heavenly.

If you are on a severe budget then you may want to consider doing simple bouquets on your own. It is not that difficult to do. Example; take a dozen or more tulips and stagger them slightly so that the heads are not all together. Take the first tulip in your hand, place the next one so that the tulip head is now about 2 or 3 inches lower and so on. Take the ribbon of your choice and tie them together. Make a simple bow and there you have it. You can also do this style effectively with calla lilies, gladiolas and blue delphinium. If you want to save a lot of money then this can be an alternative for you.

Regardless of the size and budget of your wedding, just remember, this is your day. Do it the way you want to and have fun doing it.
