There are many things a wedding couple has to focus on, from selecting a place for their wedding, to choosing food and inviting guests. However, there are many small things, like choosing a bridal bouquet, that are extremely important, but can be overlooked. Follow the steps below to make sure your bridal bouquet is exactly what you want.

• Before choosing flowers, determine the colors, textures and shapes you prefer.

• If considering a florist, ask to see their portfolio. Ask for a mock- up of the bouquet as well.

• Large flowers are better for tall brides, smaller for petite. Round bouquets should be no larger than your face.

• Tradition has it that a bride's bouquet for a formal wedding has white flowers: orchids, roses, lilies, gardenias, carnations or stephanotis. Fern or baby's breath is used as filler, adding a hint of green.

• At a semi-formal wedding, use calla lilies, tulips, roses, peonies and dahlias.

• Informal weddings often have small bouquets, with less-decorative flowers such as sunflowers, tulips, freesia, irises, asters, small daisies and miniature roses.

• Out-of-season flowers can bust a wedding's budget, so keep that in mind when shopping.

• The flowers should match the bridal outfits. If the dresses are being made, take a sample of the material to make sure it matches.

• Be sure the flowers will withstand the climate of the wedding day as well.

• You can expect to spend 8-10% of your budget on flowers.

Women love flowers. If this is your wedding, be as colorfully bold, elaborate or otherwise non-traditional as you please, because you're making a statement about you.

How do you preserve a bridal bouquet?

To preserve a bridal bouquet, you can use several methods, such as air drying, pressing, or using silica gel. For air drying, hang the bouquet upside down in a cool, dark place for a few weeks. Pressing involves placing the flowers between heavy books or in a flower press for several weeks. Silica gel can be used to absorb moisture, allowing for a more vibrant preservation; simply bury the bouquet in silica gel and leave it for a week.
