One of the wise quotes about love by Grace Hansen says, “A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers”. Whether you nod your head in agreement or shake it in protest, the wedding bouquet plays a big role in the couple’s “tying the knot” ceremony. Imagine a large group of people all dressed for a wedding and are inside the church decorated with ribbons, a nice red carpet spread on the aisle from the altar to the door of the church, and no flowers. Okay, that’s weird, but possible. Now what about the flower girls, bridesmaids and maid of honor all marching slowly in direction of the altar on their way to their pews without a wedding flower bouquet in their hands. Another weird thought? Can be. What about the groom standing at the altar with no wedding bouquet in his hands waiting for his bride. Well that’s normal, you say. However, will you consider the image of a bride in a wedding gown without any wedding flower bouquet on her hands all throughout the ceremony, from the march to the “you may now kiss the bride” part, normal?
The importance of wedding bouquets
Yes, wedding is not just about donning that new formal dress, and new stilettos, but one should give choosing wedding bouquets some time to think about. Flowers are very symbolic and specific messages are attached to a wide range of flower types and colors. For a number of engaged couples, selecting their wedding bouquets may seem to be a simple at first as it is only a matter of choosing what tickles the pair’s fancies and what you think will look nice. The reality, however, is that the wedding bouquet you choose sends a message to the other members of the wedding party and to your guests about your style, fashion and taste.
Wedding bouquet ideas
Of all the flowers beautifully and strategically spread in the church during your wedding, and the ones on your entourage’s hands, none will be more important than the wedding bouquet that you carry in your hands. Since the bride takes the spotlight during this important occasion, sorry groom, any flaw can be easily noticed. This is another reason why choosing the wedding bouquet flowers should be given importance. When looking for the perfect wedding bouquet, consider the bride’s body built, skin tone, budget, and favorites, and the theme of the wedding.

Wedding bouquet flowers
Just like that cliché, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch, the same goes for bouquets. One bad looking stem can ruin the look of the entire bouquet. So can one misplaced flower. It could be because the flower doesn’t go with the color scheme, or that its stem is too long. Either way, the bouquet just doesn’t look perfect with that flower in it. The wedding flower bouquet is usually designed and made by the florist, but most of the ideas on how it should look should come from the wedding planner or the bride to make sure it goes along with the theme.
Keep in mind that a good amount of time should be given to thinking the perfect wedding bouquet and carefully selecting the flowers to be wrapped together.
