Bridal bouquet

A wedding is considered the most important event in the life of every girl, so she should have a beautiful image at this event. Before the wedding ceremony, it is necessary to carefully consider all the details, and this applies not only to the dress, hairstyle, but also to the wedding bouquet. Since the flower arrangement is the main accessory of the bride, it should be stylish, original and comfortable.

Features of choice
The bride’s bouquet should harmoniously complement the overall image of the girl, be combined with the fabric of the dress and other decorations. Today, florists offer a chic selection of wedding compositions that can be used both for a solemn ceremony and put on the table as a decoration.
For a classic white dress, brides most often purchase simple and modest bouquets, they emphasize the tenderness and sophistication of the girl. For those representatives of the weaker sex who want to stand out in a special way, more massive compositions made up of multi-colored buds are recommended.
To choose the right bouquet, you should consider the following features.
- A pen. This detail should be even, proportional and stylishly decorate the composition. Handles decorated with satin bows and openwork or silk ribbons look great in bouquets.
- Flowers. When choosing plants, it is advisable to pay attention to their combination and aroma. It is recommended to give preference to colors that create a pleasant, light and refreshing trail.
- The size. The dimensions of the bouquet depend not only on the style of the dress, but also on the height of the bride. In the case when the outfit is classic, you should choose compact compositions, and for lush decoration, voluminous designs are ideal. Bouquets made up of large and medium buds are considered a win-win option. They are versatile because they go well with bodycon dresses and tiered models.
- Design. Flowers can be collected in a different style, but they must be in harmony with the theme of the holiday and the image of the girl. So, for example, for a wedding that is planned to be celebrated in Provence style, strict traditional bouquets of roses are not recommended. They will look out of place.
- The form. The appearance of the composition is selected not only from the personal preferences of the hero of the occasion, but also take into account the splendor of the dress. Bouquets of round, straight and drop-shaped forms are very popular.
- The weight. Since the bride will have to wear the flower design all day, it can become uncomfortable and put a significant strain on the arm. Therefore, before buying, you should decide on the maximum weight of the bouquet so that it does not cause discomfort. It is important to remember that the sponge soaked in moisture is used in the purchased port bouquet, it also increases the weight of the composition.
In addition to the above nuances, before ordering a bouquet, you need to check with the florist how strongly the selected flowers emit pollen. Of course, when making them, the craftsmen process all the buds, but pollen can still fall off the plants, and it will ruin the dress with ugly spots.

There are also bouquets of carnations and gypsophila, decorated with succulents.
Also popular are compositions of violets, orchids, jasmine and daisies. Many girls also choose original designs of pale pink or white peonies, which symbolize a long family life and strong relationships.

These plants are characterized by fleshy petals and strong large stems, so they keep their appearance well throughout the holiday.

For brides who want to stand out in an individual way, roses can be replaced with peonies. They are distinguished by the beauty and uneven shape of the petals. Unlike them, peonies look simpler, but if their buds are tightly gathered into a bouquet, you get a chic design. Peony is considered to be a flower of fun and happiness, our ancestors believed that they are able to bring joy and hope to family life. In addition, according to custom, these flowers were used to protect young people from evil spirits.
