Sophisticated Bouquet At The Wedding

If you are particularly on a budget wedding, it is very necessary to save every penny for the more crucial needs. So, instead of getting one from the overpriced florist, why don't you make your own cascading bouquet? Parties and special occasions happen throughout the year. Sometimes it's nice to show your host how much you appreciate her and her hard work for throwing a party together and welcoming you into her home. Almost everyone loves chocolate and if they don't, they know someone who does. Think of the conversation your bouquet will spark as aunt and uncles gather around the dining room table or your boss's kids' faces light up with joy as they see sweet chocolate gifts sitting before them.

It is a great way to remember your big day. You can even have printed chocolate with a picture of the bride and groom or your names printed on the chocolate. Besides how beautiful the bride was, everyone will remember the chocolate bouquet at their table. Don't be surprised if this idea catches on among your friends and family and you start seeing a chocolate bouquet on the tables at their weddings too. To begin, someone at the table holds the centerpiece, in this case, the bouquet. Someone, the DJ or best man, reads a story. Every time the word right is said, the bouquet gets passed to the right and the same for the word left. At the end of the story, whoever is left holding the bouquet gets to take it home with them. A simple nosegay of white roses is classic, but when you add sprays of crystals to the centers of the blossoms to complement your crystal bridal jewelry, it will really take it up a notch. Instead of tying the stems of the flowers with a bow, create a tailored bouquet wrap from a luxe satin ribbon and adorn it with a chic brooch. A few easy additions can make all the difference in the world.

A presentation bouquet of long stemmed calla lilies is a fabulous option for a non-round bouquet. Another option is to carry a slightly shaped arrangement, such as a teardrop or crescent. A natural flow of mixed flowers will ensure that the style looks fresh and modern, not stiff or overly engineered. Let long ribbons trail down to emphasize the flow of the flowers. Orchids, calla lilies, lilies, camellias, and gardenias are all excellent flowers to include in your bouquet. Accent them with luxurious satin, velvet, or moire ribbons. Avoid flowers or ribbons that have more of a cute flavor, like gerbera daisies and gingham bows. While white flowers are always gorgeous for a bride, you can also up the sophistication level of your bouquet by using flowers in deep colors like burgundy, dark purple, or chocolate.
