The Bride's Flowers

Whatever your style, when you choose your bouquet, consider the style of your gown, your height, our dress, and the season!

If you selected your gown prior to visiting the florist, take a picture of your gown or swatch of the fabric with you when selecting your
bouquet. This will help the florist suggest beautiful designs for you!

Don't be afraid of using silks for your bouquet!
Silk flowers will last a lifetime and you will have a beautiful and meaningful memento from your ceremony!  
The Groom, Groomsmen, Ushers, and Fathers

Typically wear boutonnieres. The boutonnieres may be of a different color or flower than the bridesmaid's bouquet.
