Bouquets

Bouquets are a must. First of all, you need to get the bride's wedding bouquet. There are a lot of bouquet styles to choose from. How do you know which one is suitable for you? Follow these advice...

Next, your bridesmaids. How many of them? You need to get a bridal bouquet for each of them. Remember, bridesmaid bouquets should be smaller in size and matches the flowers of your bouquet.

Then, the Maid Of Honor. She carries a bouquet too.

So, what to do with your bridal bouquet after your wedding? Since it plays such a significant role in your wedding, you could preserve it.

You could also toss it away.

Boutonnieres

First of all, the groom needs a boutonniere.

The Best Man needs a boutonniere, too. And so does the bride's father, the groom's father, both grandfathers, ushers, the ring bearer and not forgetting the Guestbook Attendant.

So you'll need lots of boutonnieres. Here are ideas for your wedding boutonnieres.

Corsages

Just like boutonnieres, you'll need corsages for the bride's mother, groom's mother, both grandmothers and Guestbook Attendant.

Ceremony Flowers

During your wedding ceremony, you need to prepare decorations for the main altar and also the aisle or pews.

You also need to prepare the wedding ring pillow.

Reception Flowers

For your wedding reception, centerpieces are very important. Without them, your wedding looks bare. You'll need

• Main table centerpiece

• Guest table centerpieces

• Gift table centerpiece

• Buffet table centerpiece

• Bar centerpiece

• Guestbook table centerpiece

These centerpieces can be of the same type of flowers or not, but make sure they all blend into the theme of the wedding.

Apart from the centerpieces, don't forget to decorate your wedding cake with flowers. There are many ways to decorate a wedding cake with flowers.
