Wedding flowers: the role of floristry, bouquet selection, style, and decoration tips.

Wedding floral arrangements

Flowers in our hands reflect the state of our soul. They express feelings no less than words. Life without flowers would be gray and dull. We will never tire of admiring flowers; they enchant us with their magic. Their most delicate fragrance captivates anyone fortunate enough to breathe in that divine scent. And the color palette and whimsical shapes keep the eye from wandering.

So how could such a solemn and joyful event as a wedding do without flowers? No way! Flowers at a wedding are not just a necessary element but, one might say, an inspiring one. Looking at them instantly lifts the mood. That's why flowers are brought to weddings in large quantities. Indeed, these days you can't get by with buying flowers at the market if you want the wedding to be stylish and memorable. Delivery from a floral salon is usually the optimal solution.

There is even a special science—floristry. It teaches how to properly compose the bridal bouquet, arrange the wedding ceremony, and decorate the banquet hall. And how to make it all harmonize and look beautiful; to please the hosts of the celebration and the guests; and to look as good as possible in photographs.

According to floristry, to properly decorate the celebration you need to choose a specific style and order flower delivery according to that style. Then follow it when decorating all elements of the event with flowers. The bridal bouquet, the car, the hall, and other rooms—all should be done in the same key. Even the groom's boutonniere must be made from the same flowers that make up the bride's bouquet.

The bridal bouquet is a special subject. The bride will hold it throughout the ceremony. And later she will have to throw it over her right shoulder—with tired hands. Therefore the bouquet must not be heavy. Furthermore, the bouquet will be "working" all day: it will be tilted, set down, passed from hand to hand. Sunlight will shine on it; gusts of wind will tug at it. Very delicate flowers are not chosen— they must be able to withstand all this. And the bouquet must remain fresh throughout the ceremony. This is achieved by using a bouquet holder with a special sponge. And if the bouquet turns out to be so beautiful that the bride would be reluctant to throw it away, a backup bouquet is prepared for that moment. It is made light, from inexpensive flowers. During the wedding one of the bride's friends carries it, and just before the toss gives it to the newlywed.
