Bridal bouquets have been around for a very long time. In fact Greek brides in ancient times had bouquets made of herbs that were believed to ward of evil spirits! Since you may be searching for wedding flower ideas and because bridal bouquet design has evolved so much, this article will be dedicated to different bridal bouquets.
Designs have become bolder and more individual which is a great thing. You can leave your mark on your bridal bouquet as well and have something that truly reflects who you are. More and more interesting materials are being used in bridal bouquets and it gives the designer a lot more to work with besides various flowers.
Although you can have a bridal bouquet in any style, color and design you like, this is not something you can pass over. Here are some wedding flower ideas and in particular ideas for the bridal bouquet:
1. There are many ways to personalize your bouquet like adding a monogram to it. You can for instance have the groom's first letter of his last name (or both the bride and groom's) printed on the ribbon that will be used for the bouquet. Wiring or piping shaped in the specific letter can also be used in the bouquet with the flowers.
2. Lately bridal bouquets have become more bold in color and design and it does not have to be white, cream or pastel anymore. Purple and hot pink, a mix of citrus colors or orange and red. Or you can just have a monochromatic theme and use just one favorite color. This is a fun touch to any wedding and the bouquet really pops against the dress!
3. A very practical (but beautiful) solution to keeping cost down in these hard economic times is to make use of a "breakaway bouquet". This bouquet is made up of three separate bouquets which is then later taken apart for different uses like for decorations at the reception or for the tossing of the bouquet. The bride may also want to keep one for herself.
4. If you really want to go with something different, you must think texture. And not just in the flowers but using different materials to add texture to the bouquet. This adds a three dimensional feel which is very unique.
It is a great idea to mix different types of flowers with varying textures like carnations and calla lilies or roses and hydrangeas. Then maybe add some special elements to enhance the dimensional look. Visit a hobby store and wander the flowers section to get ideas of interesting textures to add.
As you can see wedding flower ideas and in particular bridal bouquet design has become much more liberal and bold than it used to be. This is very exciting - for you and for the quests. This is your wedding after all and you do not want to look the same as everyone else do you?
