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.

The average number of flowers in a bridal bouquet (depending on what type of flowers are used such as lilies or large tropic flowers) is anywhere from 6, 8 to two dozen roses or carnations, plus greenery.
A creative and unique bridal bouquet should be the most beautiful flowers in a wedding, except of cousrse, for the bride herself.
Bridal Bouquets can be purchased at your local florist shops and craft stores. They are also available for purchase online on sites like Etsy and eBay.
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.
