Wedding Flower Ideas That Will Delight Any Bride

Bridal flowers are a symbol of personal style and elegance.

The flowers that a bride chooses for her ceremony and reception can be simple or extravagant. They will reflect the brides taste and flare for decorating.

(Keep in mind that silk flowers are as beautiful, breathtaking and romantic as live flowers and offer the opportunity to cherish them for your lifetime.

Tips and Options for Bridal Flowers

There are so many options for your bridal bouquet. Prior to my nuptials, I asked the florist if they could work a small corsage into my bridal bouquet. I removed the corsage just before I threw my bouquet and was able to wear my corsage after my reception and the next day. My Mom hung the corsage upside down to dry it, and I kept it on my dresser for several years.

Flower ideas and arrangement choices are endless. You can decide upon roses, which are a symbol of love. Red Roses symbolize deep love and respect. Pink roses symbolize grace and gentility.

And of course, if there is a ring bearer, a boutonniere for him is appropriate too.
