MAKE A FLOWER CORSAGE

Wild Flowers For A Wild Wedding?

By Valorie Jay

Flowers are a great way to spruce up any wedding or reception. The
combinations and choices available are limited only by your budget and
personal taste.
A professional florist can locate just about any flower you want, no
matter what time of year it is. Keep in mind, that flowers that are
currently in season will be the least expensive way to go. If you
choose to have flowers shipped halfway around the world, it will
quickly raise the cost of the flowers.

Before deciding on a florist for your wedding, it is important to meet
with several different ones. Prices can vary dramatically from one
florist to the next. You will also want to feel confident in your
choice of florists. Choose a florist that will go over the details
thoroughly with you, rather than trying to rush through the process.

The type of flowers couples need vary depending on the location and
size of the wedding. Sometimes, the place where you have the wedding
may have some flowers already. In that case, you may want to simply add
a few flowers that you have a particular fondness of.

Chances are, you will want to pick out a floral bouquet for the bride,
as well as the bridesmaids. The bride's bouquet will be larger and more
expensive than the bridesmaids. When choosing a bouquet for the
bridesmaids, consider one that will complement their dresses.

Many times, florists will suggest that a bride buy two bouquets. The
first bouquet will be used to carry down the aisle and will be kept as
a memento, while the second one will be the one that is tossed to the
unmarried guests. The first bouquet will often time be the more
expensive of the two, since it is the one that will be kept as a
keepsake.

The groom, groomsmen and father of the bride, traditionally wear a
boutonniere, which is pinned onto the lapel of the tuxedo or suit. Of
all the boutonnieres purchased, the grooms will be the most expensive.
The word boutonniere originated from the French word 'bouton', which
means button. Originally, the boutonnieres were worn in the button hole
of the tuxedo lapel.

In some instances, florist will suggest that the wedding cake be
decorated with a few fresh flowers. Generally, these are seasonal
flowers that highlight the cake and add color to it. You will not want
to overdo it, but rather just add a few touches of color to the cake.

Finally, you will need to make a flower corsage for the bride's mother and the
groom's mother.To make a flower corsages is to make a floral arrangement, generally worn on the wrist. More than likely, the flower corsage will coordinate with the bride's bouquet.

Choosing the right florist can make all the difference in your wedding.
With so many options to choose from, it is important to find someone
you can trust and have confidence in their suggestions. Flowers can
have that extra special touch to any wedding.
