Wedding Flower Bouquets

Drawn from an ancient Roman tradition, bridal bouquets were thought to be able to ward away the evil spirits with their strong-smelling herbs or flowers. Representing a blossoming maiden and her choice of flowers representing certain emotions, the most commonly used bridal bouquets flowers are the roses, lilies, orchids, dried lavender and freesia. However, the classic and timeless white bridal bouquet consisting of lily of the valley and orchids still continues to be the favorite for traditional brides. Each of these flowers have a special flower meanings tied to them, such as the camellia blooms represent loveliness, carnation for admiration, ivy stands for fidelity, myrtle for love, violets represent steadfastness and tulips for ardent love. The all important roses have a special meaning too, with the red roses standing for romantic love, light pink roses for gracefulness, the dark pink ones for admiration and yellow roses for well wishes.

For those wanting to save themselves from the hassles of keeping their bridal flower bouquets fresh for a long time can opt for the artificial or the silk wedding flower bouquets commonly known as the silk bridal bouquets. However there is something about the fresh blossoms that is hard for many brides to resist. There are also many types of bridal bouquets like the arm bouquet (think of a beauty pageant winner), cascade or the flowing bouquets, composite and the nosegay bouquets. While the petite brides should go in for the bridal flower posies, taller brides can go in for larger arrangements, either in width or length.

Once you have zeroed in on the arrangement of the bouquet, you need select the flowers and the other floral accessories, such as the ribbons and the fabric to beads and the baubles . In addition to the bridal bouquet, there are other wedding flower bouquets such as the bridesmaid's bouquets, groom's boutonniere, groomsman's boutonnieres, corsages for the parents and grandparents and bouquets for the flower girl. Make sure the colors of the flowers complement the dresses of the bride and bridesmaids, and do not clash with the groom's and groomsmens' outfits.
