Tips to choose a wedding bouquet:
While a good wedding bouquet can enhance the bride’s overall look, a bouquet done in haste and without planning can mar the occasion. Therefore, it is very necessary to plan ahead for your wedding bouquet.
a) Make sure that the bouquet you choose complements your dress and figure and not overshadow it. If you are thin, don’t choose a large bouquet that will hide your dress or overshadow you. Instead, choose a small, neat and beautiful wedding bouquet. If you are tall, you can choose large bouquets to enhance your appeal.
b) Make sure that the color of the flowers in the bouquet is not in contradiction with your complexion or make-up. If your skin color is pale, do not choose bold flowers for your bouquet. If your wedding gown is of pink color and you intend to use shades of pink in your make-up, you can go in for light pink silk wedding flowers.
c) Also, the style of your dress should co-ordinate with the bouquet you choose. If you have intricate designs on your wedding gown, you can opt for a small bouquet so that most of the attention is on your dress and not on the bouquet.
d) It is important that you inform your florist about your budget so that he can plan accordingly. It is also preferable to show him the dress or its photo so that he knows what will look good with it.
Choose the right bouquet according to your dress and personality and make your wedding the talk of the town!
