Wedding bridal bouquet - an essential attribute of a wedding celebration. Many moments of the festive scenario are tied to the bride's bouquet: the bridegroom hands him at the first meeting with the bride on this solemn, memorable day; Thus, the wedding arrangement of flowers of the bride is an important, if not to say the main, object of a wedding celebration. Even if the wedding is made modestly, the bouquet is always given one of the main roles.
Main types
There are many directions in creating a wedding bouquet. The most common and popular ones are:
- "Rustic";
- Shabby-chic;
- "Boho";
- "eco";
- "Provence";
- "botanist".
Each direction in the design of the bouquet assumes that the entire wedding ceremony will be close in style. Somehow, inorganically, a bouquet in the style of "boho" will look in the Provencal theme of a wedding celebration.
Therefore, you should pay close attention not only to the floral design of the wedding, but also to the whole concept of the celebration. So, round dances will be out of place in the scenario for a wedding in the style of the Victorian era.
Rustic
Filling a floral arrangement in the style of "rustic" will be thoroughly natural. Absolutely any plants from the local flora can be used, as well as a variety of natural materials:
- cones;
- bark of trees;
- beautiful snags;
- tree branches.
It is not necessary to apply those variants of flowers that are sold in your flower shops in this stylization - it is better to refer to the plants growing in the fields, steppes, meadows. The form for the composition is chosen free, even careless, so-called rasprepys. The leg of the bouquet is left open. Of the design, only ribbons are used that are appropriate alongside the bride. The materials are deliberately natural: hemp twine, a piece of matting or burlap - only in the place where the hand of the bride lies. It should appear as if he had just been gathered in the field and immediately handed over to the bride.
Simplicity and brevity are the hallmarks of a bouquet in a rustic style. Natural materials will help you beat your celebration with decent simplicity.
Rustic - rural or rural - this is the main idea of your event. So stick to it in all design, especially since it is not so difficult. Wooden tables and benches, linen and embroidered tablecloths. Wicker baskets, candles decorated with tree bark will perfectly beat the table setting. Looks great cones of cones.
An excellent direction of the “rustic” style is the arrangement under the national traditions of the family, the so-called folk weddings. Then in the design of the bouquet and the whole event, you can use the national colorful embroidery, ribbons, stylized elements of folk costume. The bride's hair do without the use of traditional veils. It is replaced by a wreath or ribbons. A bridesmaid dress is not made of dazzling white - fabrics of milky, cream shades are used. The suit of the groom in this wedding is obviously not a tuxedo.
"Shabby-chic"
This is a very pompous style. The masterpiece will consist of large flowers of delicate shades. Perfectly suitable large peonies, peony roses, ranunculus, eustoma, freesia, hydrangeas, large irises.Bouquet decoration is also a match for the bouquet itself: lace ribbons, brooches, silk and satin ribbons. The bouquet itself must be round in shape - no extra bright details falling out of the general range. The perfect bouquet for the perfect bride.
One of the varieties of the bouquet in the style of "chebbi-chic" is a Greek bouquet. The bouquet is richly diluted with myrtle twigs, laurel and leaves of wild grapes. A cascade assembly is possible when the “tail” of green and large flowers loosely fixed in an arbitrary shape falls out of the main round bouquet. In the design of this style of wedding always pompous carved furniture, gilding, whiteness, pastel shades in the design, lush crinolines, flowing lines, long and airy veils of the bride, trimmed and adjusted curls, tuxedo and gloves. Style of luxury and tradition worship.
A Victorian-style wedding will be a perfect example of a chebbi-chic wedding.
"Boho"
For some reason, with its brightness, expressiveness, size of flowers, it very much evokes memories of such a fashionable at one time flow as “hippie”. I want to dissolve my hair, take a guitar and sing about love and freedom. It is in this wave that the boho-bouquet lives. Flowers are large, bright, self-sufficient, they may not have any special combinations at all. The form of the composition is free, spreading. The boho-style business card will be brushes of amaranth of green or burgundy color, which will make their note in the richness of the bouquet. The bouquet is decorated with ribbons of bright fabrics, repeating the color range of the whole composition.
Boho is freedom, freedom in everything. You can choose a theme that is suitable for your couple, and beat freedom.
Gypsy themes, bright colors, ethno-motives will perfectly complement, create a bright holiday atmosphere and, no doubt, will be remembered by both guests and newlyweds for a long time.
"Ecostyle"
Collecting flowers in eco-style is very similar to rustic. The only difference will be the abundance of greenery. If a rustic bouquet is collected from local representatives of the flowering flora, then the eco-bouquet will consist mostly of herbs and twigs of shrubs. The presence of peduncles in ecobukket is optional. This bouquet is usually made with matting, straw hemp and other natural materials.
Sustainability and gentle romance - the main motive of such a wedding ceremony. The bridal outfit is simple and concise, without elaborate details. A short veil in the design of tender greens will be most welcome. Harmony with nature will allow you to decorate the wedding decorations with the help of tents in the lap of nature.
The main color solution will be white with all shades of green and brown-beige decorative details.
Provence
What is famous for the French province of Provence? Of course, lavender fields, grapes and sunflowers. Here is the answer about the composition of the bouquet. Lavender - Queen of Provence. It is perfectly complemented by ears of cereals, blooming upright grass. The form of the flower masterpiece will be free. It should remain a feeling that only the flowers collected in the meadows. Simplicity and sophistication - the main criteria of the bouquet.
Lavender has many varieties, so there will be no problems with the composition of the bouquet. But, besides her, in the bouquet it would be appropriate to look at the cornflowers, chamomile, spray small rosette, clover heads, freesia brushes and small hortensia caps. It is quite acceptable in the style of "Provence" and bouquets of dried flowers with the use of Kermek, Lagurus, Echinops, gypsophila. The composition can be both mono and collective of various inflorescences.
Some florists recommend adding rosemary, mint or modest oregano to the bouquet. Then your bouquet will exude a delicate aroma of the French province, which will add to the overall atmosphere in the design of the holiday. The bouquet is modest, but self-sufficient. In this style, you can assemble a composition simply from wheat ears and beat them with Provencal lace in the design.Modest bouquets of fragrant herbs can also decorate guest tables. It is recommended to use organic natural materials throughout the wedding decoration:
- wicker rattan furniture;
- linen non-colored fabrics for serving tables;
- elements of French cuisine (pastries, olive oil, cream, soft cheeses, young French wine);
- embroidery and Provencal lace.
Consider how to write these details into the script of your wedding ceremony, and feel a little French in your solemn and most important day. The celebration itself will be wonderful if you hold it in nature in light fabric tents. In the evening you can make fires in metal braziers. Hair can be decorated with a wreath of flowers, organically echoing the bouquet of the bride.
"Botanist"
In the collections of flowers in this direction, inflorescences of exotic forms and shades are used. What do you observe in the botanical garden? A glance first of all falls on the exotic - on what is not found in the environment. This is the “nerd” style. The center of such a bouquet will be an exotic Echeveria, and dilute all nephrolepis, for example. In the decoration of the wedding bouquet in the style of "nerd" is quite a place to find a moss. Rosamelia and glamelias can completely replace the entire bouquet with themselves and will look very organically in harmony with nature.
There is no limit to creativity, and an experienced florist can easily cope with the creation of any of the selected bouquets. He will help you with the choice of the composition of your wedding masterpiece, will prompt the correct combination of colors in perseverance, correctly process the flowers and decorate the bouquet so that it will please you some time after the celebration.
