After you have chosen your wedding dress and attendants dresses, you are then ready to think about how to choose your wedding flowers for your bouquet as well as your attendants.
Selecting your flowers could be done by choosing an assortment of flowers that are different sizes and flowers with different shapes.
Some brides choose to make their look simple by staying with one or two flower types and color.
Others might choose to carry the same flowers as the attendants, but adding white or off-white in their own bouquet to pick up the color of their dress.
This will help to make the entire wedding party flow together rather than to have separate flowers for your bouquet.
While it is not necessary to have the same flowers as your attendants, it might be more economical to have the same.
When it is time for you to decide on the color of flowers for the attendants to carry, you will find it helpful to bring a swatch of their dress to make it easier to see which colors will co-ordinate or complement their dresses.
Some brides decide that they might want to get flowers in the same color as the attendants dresses or several different shades of that color for the flowers.
Try to pick a flower color that is not too close to the exact dress color or there might be a problem of the flowers blending in with the dress and not really showing up like you would like.
At the same time, you don't want too much contrast or they might clash.
If you have light or soft shades of a dress color, you would not want to pick out colors that would be too bright or hot.
You should consider flowers that are on the softer side.
If the dress is on the brighter shade, then it is fine to pick flower that have a lot of color that would be a good accent.
When choosing flowers for the bridal bouquet, that too, would depend on the color of the wedding dress.
If the dress is white, don't pick off-white or cream flowers.
If the dress is ivory, then bright white flowers would look too crisp for the dress.
Popular flower choices also include decisions about the flowers in the ceremony, such as church arrangements, pew flowers and also aspects such as table centerpieces for the wedding reception decorations.
It is best to flow your color and flower selection throughout your wedding, beginning at the church and ending at the reception.
An easy way to choose the flowers for your wedding would be to use the time of the year as a starting point.
Choosing your flowers by their season gives you a theme for your special day, and ensures that your chosen blooms will be at their very best.
Even more importantly they will be less expensive and easier to locate than at other times of the year.
