How to Choose a Bridal Bouquet

As a bride, your bouquet is one of the first things that your guests see at your wedding. You want it to be beautiful, but also have it symbolize you as a person. There are many choices of flowers and styles to choose from, and the possibilities are endless. You could go from the understated single flower to the elaborate and large cascade bouquets. Follow these steps to help you choose a bridal bouquet.
Instructions
1-Choose a color theme for your wedding. The colors that you choose for the wedding will help you to choose what types of flowers you want in your bouquet. You will want to choose colors that complement each other.

2-Look at bouquet styles in bridal magazines or in bridal shops. Do you want a large bouquet with many different flowers and greenery, or a simple bouquet of one flower or a group of the same flower? Once you have decided what kind of bouquet you are looking for, picking the flowers will be easier.

3-Decide on what flower types you want in your bouquet. Are you certain that you want roses or lilies? Find flowers that come in the colors of your wedding, or ones that will nicely coordinate with them. Do you want to include greenery like ivy or ferns?

4-Debate whether you want the bouquet to be made with real or fake flowers. Having a bouquet made with real flowers will be beautiful, but the flowers will start to wilt after a day of celebration and the flowers you want to use might be out of season. A bouquet made with fake flowers will last forever and you have the possibility to get flowers in any color imaginable.

5-Hire someone to make your bouquet for you, or purchase it already made. Make sure that they know what you are looking for, and that the flowers you want to use are in season.
