How should I choose my flowers?

When choosing flowers for the wedding, you should first consider your body type. Are you tall, short, full-figured, or petite? A smaller bouquet is better for the petite bride, while the tall or full-figured bride should choose a larger bouquet.
You'll also need to consider the color and style of your dress. If your dress is ornate, perhaps with floral appliques, pearls, or sequins, you would not want to hide it with a big bouquet. A hand-tied or arm bouquet that can be held to the side works well. A round bouquet works with almost everything. Both styles are good for close-fitting or A-line dresses. If you prefer a cascade, consider whether a loose or airy bouquet would be better. For a ballroom style dress one could get away with a fuller, larger bouquet.
As for which flowers to use with which style of bouquet, certain flowers lend themselves to the design. For example, calla lilies are ideal for a hand-tied bouquet and open roses are perfect for a round nosegay. We can look at samples and books to help determine which flowers to use.
Another very important consideration is what your favorite flowers are, so we can incorporate those into the bouquets. Colors depend on what the attendants are wearing. You can include the bridesmaids color in the bride's bouquet or make hers different to set her apart. From pastels to darks keep in mind a way to match, but also have a contrast so that the flowers will be seen against the dress.
You may also consider using silk flowers. The advantage of using silk flowers is that they can be dyed any color. Choose silk flowers that have similar colors to their fresh counterparts to maintain a realistic look. The main objective is to achieve a coordinated look that puts it all together.
It's a good idea for you to look at magazines, the internet, and other sources, to get a feel of what she likes before the consultation, because there are so many choices it can be overwhelming. We can work with you to meld your tastes and preferences, along with our knowledge and experience, to make the decision of which flowers to use an easy one.
