Bouquet is a small but very important touch in the image of the bride. This accessory can improve and spoil your appearance. Therefore the choice of a right bouquet is very important.
When choosing a bouquet, experts recommend to take into account the bride’s and groom’s clothes:
- If you have a bright red dress a la Marie Stuart, your bouquet should be bright as well.
- A bouquet with 3-4 main colors is very harmonious, 6-8 – too colorful, even kitsch. But if you have a non-traditional (burgundy or purple) dress, this bouquet will look very impressive.
- Usually, yellow flowers are not used for bride’s bouquets. If you’re wearing a linen costume on your wedding day, a folk style bouquet with a splash of yellow wildflowers is very appropriate.
A simple bouquet of camellias, gardenias with shiny dark green leaves looks great with satin, brocade or other shiny dress.- The dress of transparent tulle, organza or other aerial fabric looks ideal with lightweight fancy bouquet of carnations, chrysanthemums, and small roses.
- Opinion, that only expensive flowers look great with an expensive brocade or satin dress, is wrong. If the texture of the fabric and the color goes well with the flower, you can even use sweet peas.
- A bouquet with the elements of dress fabric looks stylish
- A bouquet consisting of only white flowers does not go very well with a white dress, everything will merge into one spot in the pictures.
When choosing a bouquet, you can use the classic approach:
- Bouquets of flower buds for young brides, and blossoming flowers – for older ones.
- For tiny ladies – small bouquets of delicate flowers. For high – big flowers, in the form of a cascade. If the dress is short, then the bouquet should be small, like a boutonnière.
- For brunettes – bouquets of all colors. Red hair – all colors from yellow to orange and brown.
- Brides with a light complexion – bouquets of soft gentle colors, dark-complexioned – juicier
- The brightest color in the bouquet must match the lipstick and nails
