Tips for choosing
The size and type of flower arrangement should correspond to the girl’s figure:
- If she is tall, an elongated bouquet is appropriate;
- A thin bride looks good with a teardrop or round composition;
- A plump girl should take a closer look at bouquets that have the shape of an arc;
- A teardrop-shaped bouquet emphasizes the slim figure, and a composition with flowing elements will be an excellent addition to a lush dress.
Florists offer brides not only traditional forms of wedding arrangements. They create real works of art, taking into account the bride's preferences.
The cost of a bouquet is of great importance for some, but you can also create a cute composition from inexpensive flowers. The fewer exotic plants a florist uses, the cheaper his services will cost.
Advice! Flower bouquets or bracelets intended for bridesmaids are made from the same plants as the bride's bouquet. It will look very stylish in photographs.
You shouldn’t keep everything under control and choose each flower or green plant for the composition yourself. Let the florist pleasantly surprise you! It is enough to inform him about your preferences, show a few photos that can inspire him.
There are no identical flowers, each of the buds is unique in its own way, so you should not demand an exact repetition of the flower ensemble shown in the picture you like. Floristry is creativity, not an exact science.
