• brown-haired and red-haired girls need to take into account their color type and select the appropriate flowers (cold color type - a cool range of shades).

The bouquet must be in harmony with the dress. There are also a few secrets and rules.

With gerberas, you can create different compositions: simple and classic, modest and elegant, large and small, unusual and extravagant. We have selected the most successful examples that can inspire and help solve the problem of choice.

Mono-bouquets, which consist only of gerberas, look concise. The stems are tied with a ribbon that can be in harmony with the dress or appear as a bright, contrasting element. You can stay on one shade or make a bouquet in the style of ombre. For the last option, several close shades of different saturation are selected.

Gerberas and roses go well together. There are tons of options. Bright natures you can choose bouquets of white gerberas, complemented by red roses. For more tender and sensual brides, combinations of different colors, but in the same shade, are more suitable. Unusual options are obtained from purple African daisies and white roses.

You can add chrysanthemums to bouquets. These two flowers are similar in shape, but differ in size. Such bouquets are magnificent, look rich and are a real decoration of the bride.White chrysanthemums and pink gerberas fit well under a white dress. For brighter images, you can pick to white chrysanthemums daisies in orange, red, yellow shades. Green flowers in white bouquets look interesting.

Lily is another flower that looks gorgeous next to large daisies. Lilies have a delicate aroma, this nuance should be considered when choosing a bouquet. Under a white dress, you can order dark gerberas and light lilies. An interesting combination is obtained from large daisies of fuchsia color and pink lilies with a white edge. Orange and red large round flowers can be arranged with lilies in orange or tiger colors.

Making a bouquet yourself is not a problem, even if you do not have a floristic experience. It is necessary to act as follows.

• We cut the stems of all colors at an acute angle and place them in water with diluted top dressing.
• African daisies have a heavy head, which requires the use of a frame. In this case, the flowers will not wilt and will look fresh until the end of the wedding.
