Bridal bouquets should compliment the coloring of the bride’s outfit and
accessories, including make-up. Also bear in mind any theme that the
wedding is following. Wedding bouquets should be of lighter colored
blooms if the event is to be a romantic one or brighter if the theme is
a brighter occasion. Remember to consult with your florist at the
earliest opportunity to ensure that they have sufficient time to procure
the required flowers and decorations. The more exotic wedding bouquets
are going to be or the more detailed your requirements, the longer your
florist will need.
