Guide to Wedding Flowers

Bride's Bouquet

Bride's Bouquet
Most importantly, the bride must select her bouquet. According to Wedding Flowers Guide, many brides still opt for the traditional "posy" shaped bouquet because they can choose a variety of flowers and it is easy to hold. You can select a hand tied bouquet of deep red roses for a stunning effect or you can order a mixture of blooms, such as pink and white roses, hydrangeas, and greenery. Other choices are cascading bouquets, which feature a teardrop shape, with a trail of blooms and greenery. Or choose a variety of roses in two different colors like red and white.
Attendants' Flowers

Bridesmaid Bouquets
Select bouquet styles and blooms that compliment both your bouquet and the bridesmaid dresses. Stick to a simple bouquet of roses or lilies, with the stems tied together with a colored ribbon. For the mothers, decide whether they would prefer a wrist or pin-on corsage, then choose your blooms accordingly. For the groom and his groomsmen, a simple bloom of a lily or a rose with a sprig of greenery is appropriate.
Ceremony Flowers

Unity Candle
Depending where you are getting married should determine how many ceremony flowers you will need. Ask your florist about tying pew bows on the end of each row of pews or chairs of the ceremony site. Order a unity candle wreath arrangement in white roses and ivy, don't forget to order your candle. If you are getting married at a church, consider one large pedestal arrangement, in your wedding colors, with daisies, roses and lilies.
Reception Décor.

Centerpiece
Depending on the venue and your wedding style, you can have low or tall floral centerpieces. For a more modern look, place peonies or orchids in short square vases. Supplement the effect by adding square candles around the centerpiece. For an elegant traditional look, fill Eiffel tower vases with a few roses, lilies and greenery and arrange the vase on glass mirror, with votive candles. Finish the ensemble by sprinkling each table with rose petals.
