What does a girl think about when choosing a beige dress? Perhaps she does not want to stand out in the team and her thoughts are on how to remain unnoticed longer. Or perhaps at the moment of choice she is in a state of peace. Relaxation, bliss, peace and quiet in her outlook on life - today she makes her choice.
It is believed that beige, like gray, is a neutral color that is surrounded by other tones, halftones, which act as brighter players on a beige or gray background.
So, the color of the dress is determined. Now let’s designate which flowers will look good with a beige dress, as well as with a mustard and coffee dress. These are, for example, orange roses (carnations); light pink roses and peonies, lisianthus; red roses, carnations, alstroemeria; blue and blue roses, lisianthus, etc.
Fashionable wedding bouquets 2022: what flowers are in trend?
In 2022, a feminine and delicate look is considered stylish. Therefore, to create a flower arrangement, several principles apply:
- give choice to pastel shades;
- experiment with shades and textures, for example, adding wildflowers to roses;
- partially or completely arrange a composition of dried flowers or wildflowers.
Bright colors will also be in fashion, but they should be used with caution. Flashy shades should be in harmony with the wedding dress and accessories. In other words, a multi-color bouquet will look great against the background of a dress made in soothing colors.
The choice of bouquet size will depend not only on the wishes of the bride, but also on her image as a whole. There are several techniques for composing a bouquet: ball, hemisphere, droplet, cascade and lilymelia. Arrangements of roses, lilies and peonies are most popular at celebrations. Despite the love for any particular plant, do not forget that the flowers should be selected taking into account the weather conditions on the day of the ceremony. After all, it will be extremely disappointing if, upon arrival at the restaurant, the buds wither before the end of the celebration.
Environmental friendliness
Everything that nature gives fills us with serene happiness and love. Therefore, eco-style in wedding fashion has firmly taken its place and is not losing ground in 2022, but is only gaining popularity. The basis of the style is real organic materials: flowers, herbs, wood, natural fabrics, ceramics. To ensure that the bride’s jewelry fits perfectly into the wedding style and creates a unified image, use natural motifs. First of all, these are natural flowers. They can be used in tiaras, wreaths, and bracelets. To ensure that decorations are preserved not only during the celebration, but also to last after the wedding, use their skillful imitation. We are ready to help you choose suitable eco-style jewelry.
What should you consider when choosing a wedding bouquet?
When arranging flowers, it is important to know about the rules of florists. So, let's start in order:
- Each color in the bouquet is symbolic and has a specific meaning. Red roses speak of passion, white ones emphasize innocence and purity, and purple ones highlight joyful moments.
- All flowers in the arrangement must be fresh. You need to choose dense buds, with healthy foliage and strong stems.
- The bouquet should not be oversaturated. It is better not to use more than three types of flowers.

- For a traditional dress with a full skirt, you should choose a small bouquet. If the outfit contains a large number of decorations, then the floral arrangement should contain massive elements. The color palette of the event and the bouquet should be combined. All decorative details should emphasize the theme of the wedding event. The larger the dress, the smaller the bouquet.
Advice! The bouquet should be selected last, when the wedding dress and other details are ready.
What appearance does the dress suit?
A creamy, milky cocoa wedding dress is ideal for blondes or fair-haired brides. Such a robe will favorably emphasize dark skin, so for a celebration on the sea coast, this is perhaps the best option. For an outfit the color of cocoa with milk, it is best to choose a lush outfit with a classic cut or an A-line silhouette. A good option would also be “Fish” or Empire style
The fabric must be light, which will allow you to focus on the naturalness and femininity of the girl.
Natural blondes and brunettes with fair skin prefer wedding dresses with a hint of delicate peach. This color scheme harmonizes perfectly with an outfit that has a full skirt and a long train. By choosing a robe in the shade of a delicate peach, the young woman will look gentle, sweet and romantic.
For a pompous celebration on a grand scale, you should definitely wear “champagne splashes” wedding decorations. This ballroom style can turn any bride into a real queen of the occasion. It would be appropriate to equip the decor with beautiful gold or silver accessories. These could be long earrings, a thick necklace or an elegant bracelet.
An ivory-colored dress will look very beautiful on a bride with dark skin and light brown hair. This color is seasonal and great for summer.
How many flowers should there be in a bouquet?
When choosing a bouquet, you should not go wild with the number of flowers. You will need to wear it all day, which will quickly cause fatigue.
Flowers must look fresh, so they are placed in a special sponge moistened with water. 7–9 flowers are quite enough. Otherwise, the weight of the bouquet along with the porta bouquet will be significant. In addition, if there are too many flowers, there will not be enough water for everyone, and they will quickly wither.
Just five years ago, special devices were used to compose wedding compositions - port-bouquets - a sponge dipped in water on a stem
However, with them the bouquets turned out monotonous and too heavy
Modern masterpieces are created on natural stems, so the bouquet can be of any shape
Advice! It is better to choose flowers several shades darker than the dress. You can also add a couple of flowers in bright colors to the bouquet.
Dress code
As for the appearance of the guests, it is advisable for them to wear outfits in one stylistic variant. For example, girls can choose delicate knee-length dresses with a white belt at the waist. Men will look great in white shirts and beige trousers.
But in order not to spoil the celebration, the entire process must be controlled. Mainly, control should be exercised to ensure that the guests’ outfits are a couple of shades darker than those of the newlyweds.
This will show beige in a noble light.
Original bouquets: how to create an unusual composition for a wedding?
We hope that the following options for original and creative wedding bouquets for the bride will inspire you to create your ideal composition:
- Extraordinary shape. Many designers advise brides to experiment with bouquet shapes. The most popular are round or spherical compositions. If we talk about unusual wedding bouquets, then it is worth paying attention to structural compositions that are suitable for a creative bride. There are no limits to your imagination - design the composition in the form of a heart, cone or star. Such a bouquet will definitely not go unnoticed!
Artificial materials. The classic wedding composition mainly consists of fresh flowers. But many modern brides choose unusual, original wedding bouquets made from various artificial materials, thereby adding zest and individuality to the image. Such materials include: satin, guipure, cotton, paper, feathers, beads, rhinestones and many others; a wedding bouquet made from ribbons looks stylish and unusual.
Unusual details. Unusual details will help add some zest to your wedding bouquet, make it unusual, and at the same time fit perfectly into the theme of the celebration. For example, if the wedding is in a nautical style, add shells to the composition; apples will make the autumn bouquet original and unusual; a small photo on a wooden stick will perfectly complement the classic composition.
Unusual colors of inflorescences. An unusual bridal bouquet of fresh flowers can be created from the usual inflorescences; you just need to choose those varieties that have a non-standard color. Many girls are accustomed to believing that a wedding bouquet should be made in sober pastel colors: pink, cream, white. But, if you want to make your image stylish and unusual, then a bouquet in bright colors will be an excellent solution for you. These can be compositions with inflorescences of rainbow or bright shades (blue, purple, fiery), bouquets with an ombre effect.
Bouquet stem decor. You can make the composition unusual by decorating the stem of the bouquet with a colored ribbon, cameo or brooch with stones.
The wedding portal www.svadebka.ws reminds dear brides: when composing a wedding bouquet, follow your dream and do not be afraid to experiment. Remember that the main thing is the emotions and impressions from this special day that will remain in your memory for a long time.
Dress code for guests
To make your wedding photos look stylish and perfect, like “from the cover of a magazine,” take care of the complete images of the bride and groom’s friends. Don't be afraid to ask your bridesmaids to wear matching dresses in this color scheme.
Experiment with the length and shape of the outfit to make all the girls happy. Add a little sparkle to their look with floral bangles or sparkly jewelry.
For the groomsmen, choose beige suits with a vest. An outfit of dark trousers and a beige shirt, complemented by formal shoes and a flower boutonniere, is also suitable.
Beige color suits everyone. Ask your guests to “support” the beige theme and choose clothes in the suggested color. Thus, each of the invitees will be able to feel like a part of a large, new family.
A wedding in beige shades is never boring. This is a clean field for the implementation of your ideas. Improvise, boldly combine colors, textures and materials. This way you will achieve novelty and originality of your holiday.
Execution options
There are several options for creating bouquets, but they have common points:
- Large buds almost always surround smaller inflorescences.
- Dark shades are diluted with light colors.
- The stems in the bouquet are straightened with pruning shears, and some are split for better moisture absorption.
- The composition is surrounded with greenery and secured.
On a portaquet
Even a novice master can make a bridal bouquet from fresh flowers on a porta bouquet holder.
To do this, just follow the simple step-by-step instructions:
- Prepare everything you need: flowers, decor, scissors, porta bouquet holder.
- Moisten the sponge. There should be enough moisture to nourish the flowers.
- Prepare the flowers yourself. Trim them all, leaving the same stem length of 6-10 cm.
- You can start assembling the composition. It all starts with the outer row. These may be leaves or other additional elements.
- After installation in the desired position, they are fixed with a satin ribbon. It is tightly wrapped around the entire stand of the portaquet holder. The end of the tape is secured with glue or a stapler.
- The next step is to insert the flowers themselves, from the edge to the middle of the bouquet. The largest ones are used first, then the smaller ones, and finally the smallest ones.
- All elements of the composition should fit tightly to each other, as if supporting neighboring flowers.
- As a finishing touch, you can add beads or other decorative elements.
On a wire
Here the flower stem is supported by a special floral wire. It does not allow creases or deformation of the bouquet. Wire is used to form a composition in the shape of a rod or on a high leg.
Bouquets with a stem length of at least 20 cm are selected.
Cascade
A bride's bouquet of fresh flowers, decorated with a cascade, is one of the most original and popular options over the last 5 years. Its light rounded shape at the top with a triangle falling down is exactly how it appears in the hands of the bride. To create, plants with soft and flexible stems are selected. Some of the successful varieties are orchids and ivy.
Assembly is carried out on a portable bouquet. The flowers you choose should have stems of different lengths. The assembly begins with the longest plants along one side of the circle. Next, the remaining flowers are tightly placed. The farther they are located from the selected circle, the shorter their stem length will be.
What kind of brides is it suitable for?
Such a classic combination will look great in the hands of any bride. Blondes and very young girls are better off choosing the dominance of white and individual red accents. For older women and hot brunettes, on the contrary, shades of red, only slightly diluted with white, are perfect.
In any case, the composition speaks of tenderness, but at the same time the strength of character of the bride, innocence mixed with ardent love.
A red and white composition will highlight a snow-white dress, but to make the look as complete as possible, it is advisable to add another tone-on-tone accessory with red buds. Shoes, clutch, lipstick, nail polish - the slightest detail will immediately make the bouquet sparkle in your hands with new colors.
It is recommended to choose white buds either tone on tone or slightly darker than the wedding dress so that the fabric does not appear gray.
Real or artificial flowers, is decor needed?
All signs agree on one thing - only fresh flowers are suitable for a bouquet, hair decoration and bride’s dress. Artificial ones, no matter how well they are made, immediately “cheapen” the image. In addition, they are inevitably associated with a cemetery, grief, sadness. Their other meaning is falsehood, insincerity of feelings, short-term relationships.
A wedding bouquet of artificial flowers, no matter how beautiful it may be, is a categorical taboo for any reason
To ensure happiness in family life, the bride is instructed not to let go of the bouquet throughout the celebration. Otherwise, you can “lose” feelings. It is permissible (only for a short time) to pass it on to the mother or spouse.
It is very difficult to accidentally leave or lose a wedding bouquet-“bracelet”, thereby depriving yourself of family happiness
But at the same time, there is also a tradition of throwing a bouquet. So that the wolves are well-fed and the sheep are safe, they order a “double” bouquet. This composition looks like the main bridal bouquet, but is still a little simpler and, accordingly, cheaper. It can be created from fabric or paper flowers and even soft toys and sweets. The weight of the composition is minimal, completely eliminating the risk of injury to those wishing to catch it.
The “understudy” of a wedding bouquet may well be simpler than the original
Such bouquets look very original, do not have an “expiration date”, and do not carry any negative meaning. Therefore, more and more often they began to be ordered not only as a “understudy”, but also as a souvenir, for example, for bridesmaids, mothers-in-law and other close female relatives (sisters, cousins).
A “double” bouquet of artificial flowers is a very unusual souvenir from a wedding
Curvy
A lush wedding dress is usually chosen by those girls who dream of being in the guise of a princess. A narrow corset without straps, a voluminous skirt with rings or with petticoats will make the bride a real queen. This style can suit both fragile girls of small stature and tall, stately beauties. It is advisable to complement the look in a lush outfit with a long lace train and a beautiful veil.
Such models can be seen less and less on modern brides who prefer convenience and lightness. But, if you decide on a magnificent outfit, then the main thing is not to overload it with additional ruffles, folds, and sleeves.
Bouquet in delicate colors
The language of flowers is very eloquent. And in order to convey your “message”, you should carefully choose flowers, taking into account their meaning. The shades of plants can declare the bride’s audacity or, conversely, her sensuality and romance. And in the latter, a delicate bridal bouquet will help perfectly. It is about them that the team of the Svadebka.ws portal suggests talking about.
There are a lot of options for wedding bouquets. You are pleasantly surprised by the variety of shades, the combination of flowers and greenery, and the use of accessories. Experienced florists will create the perfect bouquet just for you; you just need to tell us about your desires and wedding image. In addition, many flower salons offer newlyweds various bonuses, for example, flower delivery directly to the bride or groom’s home, which will save the couple time on such an exciting day.
Delicate wedding bouquets can be made from the following flowers:
- Roses. It is roses that can most often be found in the hands of the bride. A delicate wedding bouquet of roses will be relevant at any themed wedding. In addition, by choosing the appropriate shades, a wedding bouquet of roses will emphasize the elegance of a bride of any age. By the way, according to signs, roses promise strong love for a married couple.
Chrysanthemums. These wonderful flowers come in a variety of shades. Chrysanthemums are versatile when combined with other plants. They go well with both exotic callas and cute lilies of the valley, roses or gerberas.
Hydrangea. Flower inflorescences will help create an amazingly beautiful, but at the same time modest bouquet. Hydrangea is one of the favorite flowers of brides.
Tulips. Perhaps, tulips are not so often seen in a wedding bouquet, but these flowers amaze with their tenderness, beauty and wonderful aroma.
Peonies. Large inflorescences and variety of shades cannot help but make you fall in love. This season, the bride's bouquet of peonies is at the peak of popularity. Peonies can be combined with many flowers, but mono-bouquets of them look no less impressive.
Chamomiles. Such native daisies will not only tell you whether they like you or not, but will also delight brides with delicate and beautiful bouquets.
Calla lilies. An exotic flower attracts attention with its unusual appearance. The varieties of calla lilies are amazing: you can find both delicate shades and bright and even black ones!
Having decided on the flowers, we advise you to think about greenery, which will best complement the flower arrangement. We suggest paying attention to asparagus, aspidistra leaves, bergrass, gypsophila, fern or ruscus.
Don't forget about decorating the bouquet's stem. Here you can use textiles, photo medallions, pearls, rhinestones, lace or even buttons! Remember that little things always set the mood and especially help to emphasize the delicacy of a flower arrangement.
A delicate colored wedding bouquet can be made from the following shades:
White is the most popular color for a bridal bouquet. However, if you choose a dress in a champagne or milky shade, be prepared for the fact that the outfit will look dirty against the background of white flowers.
Pink. A soft pink bouquet has not lost popularity for several seasons. Brides especially love to combine pink with white or purple flowers. And the presence of lush greens is a must.
Lilac. This soft shade of purple will be especially suitable for a stylized wedding. Purple flowers go well with white, milky, pink and green shades.
Yellow. No color will create such a sunny and bright mood as yellow inflorescences. Thanks to the variety of yellow shades, every bride will be able to find her ideal option. Yellow color is usually combined with white, green, blue and pale pink shades. A bride's bouquet in delicate colors will delight you and attract the attention of others.
Blue. The soft blue color captivates with its beauty. Not all flowers can boast such a juicy and unusual shade. Florists suggest paying attention to blue orchids, hydrangeas, delphiniums and even blue roses! An unusual shade in a bride's bouquet in 2022 will be very, very useful.
We told you about the main shades that will help you put together a truly charming, delicate bouquet of flowers. The svadebka.ws team once again advises choosing only those shades that are close to your spirit. After all, a bride’s bouquet comes only once in a lifetime, and therefore it simply must be perfect and delight you with every petal.
Tips for creating interesting flower beds
By following the recommendations described above for selecting successful neighbors for lavender, you can create interesting and beautiful flower beds. There are many ready-made options on the Internet that are open for use. And if you use your imagination, you will be able to create an original designer flowerbed, experimenting with new combinations of plants.
On the flowerbed you can use:
- lobelia erinus;
- magnificent cornflower;
- German iris;
- Buenos Aires verbena;
- rose;
- delphinium;
- nasturtium;
- petiolate lavender;
- foxglove purple;
- Waller's balsam.
Another option that will fit perfectly into the area at the entrance to the yard. To create such a flower bed, bushes of common and tea roses, as well as foxgloves, should be planted in the background. The foreground can be decorated with geranium, narrow-leaved lavender, hybrid verbena, speedwell, snapdragon, alpine lychnis.
You can create a spice flower bed. For beginners, it will not be difficult to plant large-flowered chamomile, chives, narrow-leaved lavender, oregano, curly and garden mint, Foxy thyme and the citrus-smelling, sandy immortelle in one flower garden.

However, it is important to take into account the preferences of your companions so that their coexistence is comfortable. Suitable neighbors for lavender are those crops that, like it, love warmth, sunlight, dry soil and cannot tolerate drafts
Wedding bouquet shape
1) The round shape of the bride's bouquet is most often found at weddings. This is perhaps the best choice. The shape is pleasing to the eye and matches the mood and fits harmoniously into the format of the event.
A round wedding bouquet is traditionally made of roses. A wide variety of flowers in a variety of shades can be used. At the base of the bouquet, a special sponge soaked in moisture is used, which allows the flowers to maintain a fresh appearance throughout the entire special day.
Artificial wedding bouquets made not from fresh flowers also look very original. For example, a wedding bouquet made of ribbons or other decorative materials. Semi-precious stones, beads, pearl beads, lace fabric will allow you to create a unique exclusive wedding bouquet.
2) It is customary to select flowers with a long stem for a cascade bouquet.
By intertwining them with each other, you can create a bouquet cascading down to a height of up to one meter. The bride should hold this bouquet with both hands, lowering them. A cascading bouquet also acts as a unique decoration for a wedding dress.
3) There is a type of “basket” bouquet, which is not as common now as before. It uses fresh flowers and in appearance it should create the impression of a basket of flowers. This form can be used in our time in the theme of a rural wedding. A basket bouquet filled with wildflowers and herbs will look very organic with the surrounding landscape.
4) A simple bouquet was often found at weddings in the last century, when our mothers and grandmothers got married. The flowers chosen for the bouquet were usually of the same variety and one or two shades. There could be any odd number of them in the bouquet, and they were tied with decorative ribbon. The bride wore such a bouquet along her arm, reclining.
5) There is also a type of bouquet in the shape of a drop. Technically, it is a wire bent in the shape of a drop, braided with flowers. Larger flowers are used in the upper part of such a bouquet, and smaller ones in the lower part.
6) A bouquet in the shape of a muff is worn on the hand. This bouquet has a functional loop. It is needed to free your hand. At the right moment, the bride simply puts a loop on her finger and her palm becomes free, and the bouquet is clearly fixed and will not go anywhere.
7) The last buzz today is bouquets like glamelia and lilymelia. This is one large bud and is made up of individual petals. Glamelia is created from gladiolus petals, and lilymelia is created from lily petals. The cost of such a bouquet is much higher than the cost of other types of bouquets.
With lace
A beige lace wedding dress will look expensive and stylish in itself. Do not confuse cheap guipure, which will ruin the whole impression, with more expensive, but noble real lace.
A lace bodice is perfect for a short or long dress with a light flowing skirt made of chiffon or silk. You can also choose an outfit with lace as a decorative element, or you can buy a completely lace dress. In this version, the lower bodice and skirt should be made of smooth satin fabric.
How to make a wedding bouquet with your own hands
The main essence and difficulty is to create a harmonious bouquet, something special, with a twist. Everything else is technical issues that do not pose any difficulty. You don't need anything special, just a little time. But you will get an inexpensive bouquet, and made with your own hands!
Since the bride’s bouquet must maintain a fresh, pristine appearance throughout the day, a sponge soaked in moisture should be placed at the base of the bouquet, which will supply the flowers with it throughout the day.
This sponge is called an oasis and is inserted into a special base of the bouquet, the so-called microphone
1.The leg of the frame must be covered with double-sided tape and decorated with the material that you have chosen for the outer decoration of the leg. This can be either a ribbon or stems of fresh flowers, which imitate them. The stems should additionally be secured with floral wire.
2.Next, it is important to cover the upper part of the base of the bouquet with double-sided tape. This will allow us to decorate this area and prevent moisture from seeping out from the oasis. This part of the frame can be decorated with green flower petals. By the way, they are sold separately in the flower shop. To make the petals look organic, they can be glued in a checkerboard pattern.
3.After pasting the upper part of the frame, you need to wrap the stems around the leg in a second circle to close any possible gaps between the stems. And secure it again with floral wire. This way you will get a more realistic bouquet. To prevent the wire from scratching your hands, its ends must be bent inward.
4.Then, you need to take a decorative ribbon, wrap it around the handle and make a bow. To secure the end of the tape, you can grab it with double-sided tape. Then we proceed to the main element - the bouquet itself.
5.First of all, you need to soak the oasis by immersing it in a container of water. You cannot direct a stream of water at the oasis; it can damage its fragile structure. After saturating the oasis with water, it needs to be installed at the base of the frame.
6.Fix the top cover of the frame additionally using floral wire.
7. Stems with buds need to be cut to a length of 5-6 centimeters. Start setting it in the oasis, forming the head of the bouquet. The flower should be installed in the oasis by simply pressing the stem into it. This process requires care so as not to damage the bud.
Before installing it in the oasis, the base under the buds of large flowers, such as peonies, must be wrapped with wire and its other end secured to the frame of the lid. You don't need to do this for roses.
The formation of the cap begins with the central bud and then in a circle around it, trying to place flower after flower so that the buds are pressed against each other as much as possible and there are no gaps between them
Gaps will ruin the appearance of the bouquet. The last circle of buds will be set almost horizontally.
8.If desired, you can add small bush flowers to the bouquet, installing them in the base in the same way.
Whatever shape and content of the bouquet you choose, the process of making it is approximately the same. All of them have a frame - a base on which the entire decorative part of the bouquet is actually assembled. The difference between a living bouquet and an artificial one is that an oasis is installed in the frame - the base for a living wedding bouquet, which nourishes fresh flowers with moisture during special events.
What florists warn about
Advice from florists that you should listen to:
The composition should not be very large; the recommended diameter is 20–27 cm. Firstly, the bride practically does not let it out of her hands all day, the heaviness begins to be felt very quickly. Secondly, a large bouquet is difficult to “fit” into the frame in the photo.
“Size matters” is an almost universal axiom that also applies to a wedding bouquet.
Keep the bride's bouquet (and flowers in her hair) and the groom's boutonniere in the same style. This ensures the unity of the couple both in visual perception and on the mystical level
The bouquet and boutonniere, designed in the same style, symbolically unite the couple
Be sure to wrap the stems so that the greens and juice do not stain the hem of your dress and gloves. Pollen from stamens and thorns from roses must also be removed in advance.
Pollen from flowers can ruin more than just a bride's outfit
Avoid using flowers with a strong, strong aroma. You can get not only allergies, but also persistent migraines. Be careful when including exotic plants that are unfamiliar to you in your bouquet.
Many people don’t like the smell of lilies, keep this in mind, especially if the wedding celebration will take place indoors
Signs regarding the wedding bouquet:
The more harmonious its form, the more serene and peaceful the married life will be. Refuse multi-level vertical compositions in favor of a ball or hemisphere. Cascade is also an acceptable option
The smooth rounded contours of the bride’s bouquet symbolize the same smooth flow of family life.
For decoration, use satin ribbons, symbolizing purity of intentions, fidelity of spouses and smooth life together. Pearls that combine the masculine and feminine principles are also suitable. Other decorations (figurines of doves, angels, hearts) must be in pairs
Smooth satin ribbons promise spouses a smooth life without conflicts and quarrels
As for the number of flowers, in Western Europe it is believed that there should be six or more (an even number is required) - as a symbol of a couple. In Eastern Europe, on the contrary, an even number of flowers is associated with funerals, so bouquets are composed of five or more (but not 13) flowers.
There is a sign according to which the flowers in the wedding bouquet should correspond to the age of the bride (plus one more if it is an even number)
You should not attach flowers to your belt - this promises the bride infertility or a difficult birth. If you want to free your hands, order a “bracelet” or “handbag” bouquet that you can periodically hang on your wrist
Superstitious brides should avoid flowers on the waistband of their wedding dress, even artificial ones.
Color selection
The modern floristic market offers a variety of options: from field plants of our strip to exotic protea, turmeric, and orchids. You should choose based on your taste, the theme of the wedding and the characteristics of the flowers - the more hardy they are, the less you have to worry about preserving their freshness.
The classic version is roses, a symbol of love and romance. Red, pink, white, strict elongated or fluffy peony-shaped, large or miniature - regal flowers look excellent in any case. Keep in mind that, firstly, the thorns must be cut off from roses, and secondly, they are not very fond of their neighbors in the vase, so after the celebration the bouquet will have to be divided.
Another common option is exquisite lilies or sensual orchids, which confidently hold the second position in the top flowers for a wedding bouquet.
Idea! A cute and unusual choice is garden and wildflowers. Tulips, daffodils, chrysanthemums, freesias, and peonies look no worse than the royal trio and allow you to create truly interesting combinations.
Exotic alstroemeria, eustoma, anemones, callas are also quite often used in bouquets of various shapes. If you choose additional greenery to create volume, then pay attention to fern, eucalyptus, gypsophila
Plant preparation
In order for the buds to delight you during the long wedding day, you should take care of them in advance. Frost-resistant plants - tulips, roses, carnations - are recommended to be put in the refrigerator in the vegetable compartment the day before the wedding.
More delicate flowers that cannot tolerate cold should not be subjected to the cold test. Choose a dark, cool, draft-free place for them. They will be preserved best there.
Pour clean water into the vase, preferably rain or filtered water at room temperature. A good help would be either specialized fertilizers for cut flowers, or granulated sugar or aspirin dissolved in water. Before installing in a vase, the stems are cut by 5 cm at an acute angle so that moisture is better absorbed. It is necessary to cut flowers only with a sharp knife or pruning shears; dull scissors will not work at all. They will only pinch the vessels, and the buds will be even worse than before pruning.
Important! Do not forget to tear off the leaves that will be under water after immersion. If this is not done, then rotten greenery will spoil the water and accelerate the withering of the buds.
Here are some more useful tips from florists:
- Roses, hydrangeas and chrysanthemums have their stems slightly split in front of the vase. This way they absorb moisture better;
- It is recommended to alternately dip the tip of the stem into boiling water and cold water several times for peonies or dahlias - this will help to revive them;
- Never spray water on the delicate petals of lilies, tuberose or daffodils. Unsightly stains may remain.

Advice for the groom
To choose the best wedding looks for the groom, you should use some recommendations. First of all, you should not chase fashion. The main thing is to choose a suit that suits the groom best.
A buttoned jacket should not have folds in the back or shoulders. The fabric should fit perfectly, without creating wrinkles. When trying on a suit, you need to bend your elbows, spread them to the sides, and sit on a chair. This makes it possible to finally make sure that nothing will hinder your movements during the event. At the same time, the jacket collar should not rub, and the shirt and tie should not put pressure on the neck.
If the jacket is good at the shoulders but doesn't meet well at the waist, you might want to consider a fuller option that's similar in size. As for the length of the trousers, it should reach the top line of the heel.

The only nuance that should not be forgotten is the balance of red, green and orange or yellow. If you overdo one of the shades, there is a risk that the bouquet will be invisible in the photo during an outdoor wedding photo shoot.
