Completing Your Wedding Day Look by Bridal Bouquet Design

How To Completing Your Wedding Day Look

Completing the look for your wedding day can only be done once you have chosen your bridal bouquet design. Besides an all rose bouquet there are flowers that are equally as beautiful and colorful to add to your bouquet. A trip to any flower shop and you can see, feel, and smell the endless possibilities.

Wanting to escape the overdone round shape - consider the following shapes to use to make your bouquet unique truly a one of a kind, designed especially for you - floral accessory.

If your gown is a very full skirted ball gown, consider a - CASCADE - This is where there not only is a main body if the bouquet, but additional flowers literally cascade down. The elongated part of the bouquet can be flowers or ferns. This style adds an elegance that a round bouquet just can't carry. Very stunning and impressive.

Going for a shorter cascade consider the - TEAR DROP - style. This is an elongated round bouquet. Just a little variation on the round theme, but again a little different and more unique.

For the bride desiring something more natural and not so fussy, consider a GARDEN BOUQUET. This bouquet looks like you've strolled through a garden and selected the very best blooms available. This less formally arranged bouquet has a variety of blooms and is tied together with a ribbon. This bouquet would be the perfect compliment for the bride who has chosen a more casual theme for her wedding. For that little something different, think Miss America and go with an ARM BOUQUET or another name is the PRESENTATION BOUQUET. This is a stunning selection of flowers that are arranged, keeping their long stems. The finishing touch is a beautiful ribbon, the streamers of this ribbon could cascade down the front and add a beautiful finishing touch.

If you're looking for that touch of whimsy why not try a FLORAL BOULLE. The flowers are snipped off their stems and are pinned to a Styrofoam ball. Adding other simple touches to your bouquet can bring out your signature uniqueness. Try adding loops of ribbon. Adding small bunches of tulle can add a vintage look to your bouquet. Mixing them in among flowers can add a soft, muted element.

Finishing off your bouquet by adding in pearl-headed corsage pins, decorative pins, decorations from craft stores which bring your love of butterflies to the focal point - all this adds personal touches and makes your bouquet uniquely yours.

Forget the carbon copy designs and go for what truly complements and completes your ensemble. Whatever you choose for your bridal bouquet design, make it special and uniquely you.

Tips of Having a Cheap Bridal Bouquet

How to have a cheap bridal bouquet

It's easy to spend a fortune on your bridal bouquet alone, so finding some money-saving bridal bouquet ideas is a must. Although bridal flowers are beautiful, it's important to keep your costs in check. So here's a run down of what to avoid and some tips to reduce your bridal bouquet cost.

Firstly, what to avoid

Bouquet arrangements tend to be the most expensive type of bouquet, simply because they take a lot more time to complete. Long cascading bouquets also tend to be very heavy, since there are lots of flowers and greenery. They'll also hide your beautiful dress, so it seems a bit silly to spend a fortune on a dress only for it to be hidden by your flowers.

The last thing to avoid is exotic flowers. It's difficult to grow them locally, so they tend to have high transportation costs, which are then passed onto you

Low-cost bridal bouquet ideas

Hand tied bridal bouquets are usually half the price of arrangements. The florist selects the flowers, then arranges them together and ties them with floristry string or wire. A ribbon is then tied around the stems to protect the bride's hands and finish the bouquet. You can use most flowers in a hand tied bridal bouquet, they're versatile and more importantly, cheap.

Single stems can also be effective bridal flowers. Having a single stem is a dramatic look and works well with elegant, slinky dresses. You could have one stem, or even increase it to three stems tied together in a simple hand tied bouquet. By the way, it's more cost effective as you use fewer flowers.

Lilies, roses, gerberas and sunflowers looks great as single stems.

Go for flowers in-season as they'll be fresher, grown locally and therefore cheaper. There are lots of blooms available all year round, so ask your local florist what's in season at the time of your wedding.

An alternative is find stems with lots of flowers so you get more blooms for your buck.

Some Alternative Bridal Bouquet Toss Ideas

Find Six Alternative Bridal Bouquet Toss Ideas

Is the traditional bridal bouquet toss not for you? Many modern gals are ditching. Women see the bouquet toss as pressure, and hate the implication that single women are chomping at the bit to be married.

Here are six alternatives to the traditional bridal bouquet toss that will make veryone happy:

  • Wish Come True Bouquet Toss -- Invite all the women onto the dance floor, married and single. Ask them all to make a wish right as the bouquet is tossed and whoever catches it will get their wish.
  • Fortune Bouquet Toss -- Invite everyone onto the dance floor and have a bouquet that consists of several small bunches of flowers are simply held together in your hand. When you throw the flower bunches in the air, they break apart so several people will get a "fortune" bouquet.
  • Longest Married Bouquet Toss -- Invite all married couples onto the dance floor and have the DJ announce that everyone married less than 5 years to leave, then less than 10 years to leave and so on until the couple married the longest is left dancing and they are awarded with the bouquet. This also focuses on married people and leaves out the single folks.
  • Special Honors Bouquet Toss -- Split up the bouquet into halves and give one half to your mother and one to your mother-in-law. The bridal bouquet could also be presented to grandparents, split apart for all the women in the bridal party, presented to your maid of honor, your sisters, a friend who is engaged, etc.
  • Favors Toss -- Instead of tossing flowers, toss the wedding favors! Much like candy being tossed in a parade you can toss small or soft favors to the guests. Candy, small stuffed animals, silly toys and gift cards are good choices.
  • Gift Cards & Money Bouquet Toss -- Rather than have fortunes attached to a break away bouquet, why not attach gift cards (from coffee shops, record stores, etc) to your bridal bouquet! Rolled up $1-$20 bills is also fun for everyone. You can invite everyone onto the dance floor, men and women alike. So rather than skip the bridal bouquet toss entirely, why not start your own tradition? Choose a bridal bouquet toss that is meaningful to you and don't be afraid to simply present it to someone you care about.
Don't loss your bridal bouquet moment in your wedding.
