After the bride's
gown, flowers are the focal point of a wedding.
From the bouquet that the bride carries to boutonnieres,
table flowers and the like, the flowers selected
should reflect the couple's taste and style of
the occasion. When deciding on flowers, consider
the following :

Local blooms will be more inexpensive
compared to imported ones.
Flowers that are in season will be at
their peak and will handle our hot and humid
weather better.

The bridal bouquet's colour and shape
should take the lead in setting the tone
for all other floral arrangements.
The groom's corsage could have an element
in common with the bride's bouquet.

Choose either complementary
colours and mix-and-match them, or go for
a complete contrast and select colours that
are drastically different.
Theme the wedding around one type of flower
to make a statement!
Table centrepieces should be kept low
so that guests can see and talk to each other
across the table.

Couples who are on a tight budget could perhaps
purchase flowers in bulk from a wholesaler and
get artistically inclined family members and
friends to assist. It will not only be fun but
will also add a personal-touch to the day's
festivities.

: Simplicity when executed with flair sometimes
create the most stunning results.
