How to choose and make a doubler bouquet for the bride for the wedding?

For each girl is very important process of preparing for their own wedding. She tries to foresee everything so that the celebration would turn out to be perfect and unique, such that she had dreamed of since childhood. Particular attention is paid to the image of the bride and all the necessary accessories.

As a rule, a set of accessories you want to make non-standard and impress the guests with a dress, veil and bouquet of the bride. Wedding flowers are chosen as carefully as all other accessories. They should certainly be in harmony with the bridal outfit and be not only luxurious, but also symbolic. Each type of flowers has its own meaning and is collected in a bouquet with a special meaning. Therefore, the bride so values ​​her wedding bouquet and sometimes does not want to part with it for the sake of tradition.

The idea to create a second bridal bouquet was born thanks to the development of two popular wedding traditions. The first came to us from the West, when the bride at the end of the celebration will have to part with the bouquet, leaving her unmarried friends. Secondly, we are obliged to the Old Slavic ritual, according to which it is customary to dry the bouquet from the wedding and keep it in the name of family happiness. According to the old belief, the bride should keep all accessories from the wedding as a talisman.

For the realization of these two traditions at the wedding is not enough just one bouquet. Therefore, we need a duplicate. Even if the bride does not plan to keep flowers after the celebration, a replacement bouquet will not be superfluous. After all, the original bouquet can not reach the girlfriends, scattered in flight. Or it would be too heavy and inadvertently cause injury to one of the guests. A replacement bouquet is made light and strong, but no less beautiful. He will be happy to keep the lucky woman caught as a tribute to tradition. You can do without additional bouquets, but it is simply necessary in such cases:

• The original bouquet has a complex structure, like a bag with flowers or a basket;
• the base of the bouquet is heavier with ornaments;
• flower arrangement loosely folded and loosely fixed;

• bouquet can be dangerous to others;
• flowers in the composition can pollute the clothes of guests;
• in the cold season, when fresh flowers may not survive until the end of the celebration;
• if the newlyweds planned to celebrate the wedding more than one day;
• just in case.

Before you order a duplicate from a florist or make it yourself, you need to decide what it should be. Taking into account the necessary materials, the preparation of the flower accessory begins.This usually takes into account the value of the shade of flowers and the symbolism of each type of vegetation in a bouquet. For example, if you want to demonstrate the sincerity of feelings, roses will do, and white lilies will speak eloquently of innocence.

Bouquets-doubles may be as follows.

• An exact copy of the original flower arrangement. This is the simplest and most convenient solution. When ordering, you only need to stipulate that the bouquet be performed in the amount of two absolutely identical copies.
• Artificial analogue of the "live" original. This option is ideal for a winter wedding or a long photo shoot outdoors in the cold season. Fresh flowers will remain for the ceremony at the registry office and the celebration in the restaurant. A duplicate will fly to the guests, and fresh flowers will entertain the newlywed's eyes a little more.
• Mini-copy of the bride's bouquet. An excellent solution if the main bouquet is too massive or heavy to throw, but you want to keep the similarity as much as possible.

• Artificial bouquet a symbolic gift for one of the bridesmaids. Of course, the one that manages to catch him. The lucky girl will be able to save it as a talisman or even use it at her own wedding as a bouquet of the bride and groom.

• Bouquet with sweets and paper flowers. For him you need to choose not heavy sweets, because he has to be thrown into the crowd of fragile girls. Such a bouquet can not be stored entirely, having treated the edible components as a nice bonus.

You can go to the trick and please several friends at once, creating a bouquet that breaks down into flight into several separate identical compositions. His secret is simple: you will need to untie just one ribbon before the throw, holding the flowers all together.

Or she prefers to grow flowers and does not endure the kind of cut stems, advocating the safety of the gifts of nature. To create fabric colors do not need special skills of the skilled worker or seamstress. Detailed master classes are on the Internet.
