Inspirational Friday – Bridal Bouquets

Today, Wedding and Party Network brings you inspiration for your bridal bouquet. As the most important flower arrangement in your event, you have to keep a couple of things in mind–size, shape, color(s), and flower types. A couple of questions you may also ask yourself when deciding on a bouquet include: Do I want to have an assortment of plant types in my bouquet or keep it all one flower type?

Your bouquet can be anything from a short bundle of roses to three long-stemmed callas, but ultimately it has to be a bouquet you love and are comfortable carrying down the aisle. Shape also depends on how you want your bouquet to look. Do you want the popular nosegay look or do you want them to cascade down? It has become very common to have more than one color and plant type in your bouquet, so don't be afraid to stray from the classic look. It is your bouquet, so you have to love it.
