What flowers should be in the bouquet of the bride?

Wedding is the most important event in the life of any girl. That is why the pre-wedding period is accompanied by exciting pre-holiday bustle and the solution of important issues for the event: the choice of a wedding dress, a suit for the groom, a celebration place, a photographer and so on. At the perfect wedding, any detail - from the colors of the scenery to what flowers should be in the bouquet of the bride - should be thoroughly thought out. Therefore, you should not hope for the first stall with flowers in front of the Wedding Palace, but rather decide on the floral combination of the bride in advance.

A wedding dress and a wedding bouquet are two attributes that are inseparably linked together, so when choosing the latter, they usually rely on color, style and even dress material. Previously, the bride adhered to the classic wedding style and got married in a snow-white dress and chose a bouquet in color to him. Therefore, a traditional wedding bouquet is a bouquet of white flowers. And traditional flowers for a bouquet - tea or white roses. Sometimes you can find classic compositions with chrysanthemums and carnations.

The traditional form of a wedding bouquet is a ball or a hemisphere. Such forms are the most versatile, and also allow you to harmoniously fit one or more types of flowers into the composition and decorate it with decorative elements. As for decoration, then traditional forms of decoration include satin ribbon, which is tied with a bouquet. The hue of the ribbon should be combined with the colors in the composition, therefore, in a classic bouquet, the ribbon is usually pastel.

Traditional wedding is full of various customs and superstitions: meeting with bread and salt, exclamations "bitter", fees "for the boy and for the girl" and others. Therefore, if a couple decides to observe superstition in everything, then it is worth choosing a bouquet to find out the meaning of each flower. This will set the right mood for the wedding event.

• Roses - an ancient symbol of love and passion. This is probably why they are the most popular plant used in most wedding bouquets. With roses, the process of “catching” the bouquet of the bride acquires a special meaning: the bride conveys the symbol of love to an unmarried girl, predetermining her meeting or future wedding.

• Orchids are close in meaning to roses. They mean love, wealth and fertility. Orchids are an excellent choice for newlyweds who hope not only for a long and strong relationship, but also for financial stability.

• Lilies they predict a long marriage, as well as promise wealth and prosperity to the newlyweds.

• Hydrangeas - mutual understanding and agreement, suitable for those who put these qualities at the forefront.

• Peonies - Chinese symbol of a happy and strong marriage. Therefore, this bouquet is good for connoisseurs of Eastern culture and wisdom.

• Value of tulips varies according to their color. Violet means loyalty and favor, burgundy - perfect love, and classic white - forgiveness.

• Dahlias symbolize eternal relationships and love. And dahlias emphasize the elegance of the bride.

• Lavenderas many might have guessed, this is tranquility, purity and devotion, and also a very pleasant aroma.

• Chrysanthemum - a flower of optimism, joy and good mood.For those couples who appreciate a positive attitude and emotions in everything, they want to bring them to the wedding ceremony.

Among the huge number of colors of different colors, certain combinations have already been formed, which are often used in a wedding bouquet.

• Roses. Roses are good because, on the one hand, they can be used in small mono-bouquets, and on the other hand, they are universal when used with any other colors. In addition, the winning combination will be a mixture of roses of different varieties and shades, especially the combination of lush single-headed roses with neat shrub roses is very popular. The most popular rose varieties for wedding bouquets are David Austin peony roses. You can add a monobucket of Austin peony roses with blackberries and wild rose berries - it will turn out very exclusive. These roses are perfectly combined with other types of plants: lilies of the valley, eustoma, cotton, violets, hartensia.

• Peonies. Peonies, like roses, can be used as the only flowers in a composition. But one of the most popular options for a wedding is a combination of pastel-colored roses and peonies. This bouquet can be freshened with greenery and wild flowers. The result is a unique and delicate composition, personifying both love, passion and strong marriage. If you want the wedding bouquet to look extravagant, then add poppies, ranunculus, or callas to the peonies. If the bride wants to emphasize her tenderness and refinement, then hibiscus or freesia will be appropriate with peonies. These bouquets can be on their own stems, tied with a decorative ribbon. And if it is necessary to preserve freshness for a long time, then a bouquet with a portbucket is recommended. The most unusual version of a bouquet with peonies is a taped bouquet, where the trimmed petals and buds are attached to the wire frame.

• Orchids. Orchids are not only incredibly beautiful flowers, but also surprisingly long-lasting - they can stand another month after the event. Orchid monobukets are not popular, but these colors will be excellent neighbors in the bouquet for chrysanthemums, callas, hydrangeas and chamomile. The combination of orchids and roses in one composition is a great success. The orchid is a very bold choice for a wedding bouquet, so it’s worth getting away from the classical spherical shape and trying the light asymmetry of the bouquet, where the flowers in the composition resemble a “hanging waterfall” and the bride’s hands find an exquisite floral “explosion”.

Other options are not less found.

• Carnations The bouquet, which is composed only of carnations, is not popular among brides. But it will look good in combination with peony roses and similar Lisianthus. But the best option for a wedding bouquet is to add carnations to a bouquet of chrysanthemums. This bouquet does not require additional decoration. You can simply tie it with a satin ribbon.

• Gerberas These flowers are very loved by wedding florists. They are picky, bloom until late autumn and do not have thorns. A single gerbera will make the image of the bride more vivid. And if you want to dilute the wedding composition with other flowers, then irises, chrysanthemums and large daisies are perfect for this. Those who like to stand out should also pay attention to the combination of burgundy roses and white gerberas.

• Ranunculus or buttercupsas they are called in the CIS countries, resemble large roses and are very popular among wedding florists. In combination with other flowers it is better to use buttercups of bright colors. For example, a combination of white or cream roses and bright orange buttercups, as well as yellow roses and maroon buttercups would be ideal. This option is ideal for a Europeanized wedding and an uneasy but stylish wedding attire.

In your choice should not ignore the recommendations of professionals. Even in shops where flowers and bouquets are sold, real experts can help you with advice.

• As mentioned earlier, the color of the bouquet depends on the color of the wedding dress. But this does not mean that the flower arrangement should be the same tone as the dress. An ideal wedding bouquet is a bouquet that is one or two tones darker than a wedding dress.
• If after a solemn wedding ceremony a long trip around the city is planned, photographing or just circumstances make it so that you need to carry the bouquet for a long day with you, then the use of a special capsule or porcelain basket with floristic foam will help keep the bouquet fresh.

• In order for the flowers to fit perfectly into the wedding ceremony, they must be combined not only with the image of the bride, but also with the groom's boutonniere. Thanks to such seemingly small things, an absolutely integral and amazing image of the newlyweds will be created.
• A bride of short stature in a dress with an A-shaped silhouette should focus on the round shape of the bouquet. In this combination, the bride and the bouquet will look very harmonious.

• Slender and tall girls should pay attention to the cascading form of the flower arrangement, in which some of the flowers fall out of the hands of the bride and resemble a waterfall that comes down from her hands.
• For short brides in a dress with a straight cut, a vertical mono-bouquet, the so-called rod of flowers on long stems, will do. Such an image looks elegant and concise at the same time.

• Frame-shaped bouquet - for those who like to experiment. From the frame you can make any shape of a bouquet: a butterfly, a heart, a hat. And on the frame attach cut buds and petals. Ideal for lovers of everything unusual, those who like to amaze others.
• Truly extravagant girls who can use a bright bouquet to dress can complement it with dried fruit, succulents and wild flowers. Clusters of mountain ash, sprigs of berries, cornflowers, and bells will be able to add special beauty to the flower arrangement.

• If the bride is afraid of discomfort, which can bring her wearing a bouquet, then you should pay attention to the bracelet bouquet, which is mounted on the arm with the help of special ribbons and does not cause inconvenience.
• In a delicate bouquet on long stems using greenery and wild flowers, it would be very appropriate to use not a satin ribbon, but a rope rope. This bouquet is very refreshing image of the bride and create a wonderful atmosphere for others.
