fume.
The shape of your joy. Perhaps you want the
extravagance of a cascade, the simple elegance of a
round bunch, the beauty of long-stemmed blooms
laying in the crook of your arm, or the pure
romance of a heart. The shape of your bouquet
should reflect both your personal style and the style
and theme you've set for your wedding.
A matching pair. Your groom's boutonniere can
be a very miniature version of your bouquet, keep-
ing the same flowers, hues and shape but on a
smaller scale.
Bridesmaids' bouquets and groomsmen's bou-
tonnieres
Your bridesmaids' flowers should match the
colors in their dresses, and the groomsmen's bou-
tonnieres should match the color scheme.
Following are a few fresh ideas for these flowers:
If your wedding features multiple colors, have
each bridesmaid carry a bouquet that features one
of the hues. For example, if you're having a spring
wedding, consider having one bridesmaid carry
lavender flowers, another yellow, another pink and
another peach.
The groomsmen escorting them should have a
boutonniere in a matching color.
Mother-of-the-bride/groom nosegays
Don't forget Mom! Small bouquets make the
mothers look lovely when they're being escorted
down the aisle. While these bouquets should be
consistent in color and style with the rest of the
blooms you're using, let the mothers personalize
their flowers. If they have a particular flowers that
is special to them, ask the florist to include it.
Floral décor
When discussing the flowers with your florist,
don't forget altar flowers, pew decorations, as well
as reception centerpieces and displays. Let your
florist know your wedding theme and style. If pos-
sible provide photographs of your ceremony and
reception sites. He or she should be able to provide
some innovative ideas for your arrangements.
