According to the old tradition, the groom was engaged in the purchase of flowers for the future wife. But modern brides have changed the course of events, preferring to independently choose and order a bouquet.

The faithful is only offered to pay and bring a bouquet from the flower salon. He hands it to the bride, and the tradition is considered honored.

Calla lilies

Callas are selected in different shades, but it is not necessary to make a mono-bouquet of red and white callas. Snow-white, trustfully opened buds look harmoniously with red tulips and red roses. A ribbon of weightless organza will complete the composition, giving it a mystery and sophistication. In such compositions tall green spikelets look unusually beautiful.
Mono-bouquet

Bouquets with freesia look so airy that they will not be weighted by a jewelry brooch, pearl threads, velvet ribbons or decorative dragonflies. Decorating the natural naturalness of bouquets with artificial insects is a popular move of florists. Ladybugs are magnificent against the background of white flowers. And butterflies wonderfully complete the style of a bouquet of hydrangeas and daisies. Pearly dragonflies are magnificent on callas, and moths are picturesque on any plants.
Compositions in white and red colors can be diluted by using blue in the form of a satin ribbon flowing along the petals and enveloping the stems of the plants. A blue-white-red bouquet is chosen by patriotic newlyweds, confidently looking into the domestic future. Moreover, this is just a good combination.
Fans of a calm style will be pleased with the florist’s decision in the form of a snow-white bouquet with a scarlet or burgundy ribbon. This is not trivial, because the classic never bothers and does not go out of fashion.
Combination with dress and accessories
Of course, the choice of bouquet is made for the dress and accessories, and not vice versa.For each style and design of a wedding dress, its own floral arrangement is suitable. With an exquisite expensive outfit embroidered with expensive rhinestones and stones, a delicate bouquet of hydrangeas and decorations with berries and autumn leaves are not on the way. Ladybugs and exotic plants will look funny against his background. Luxury is combined with velvet roses and exquisite orchids.
The callas and decor in the form of feathers and pearl threads will be a perfect complement to a dress made of flowing satin. Airy chiffon “asks” a bouquet of freesia, miniature tulips, peony roses and fragile hyacinths.
