The bouquet is one of the most beautiful and important elements of bride's attire. It should be carried low enough so that the intricate details of your gown are visible. The traditional bouquet is made of white flowers but there are many design, size, scents, color to choose from. If you want a colorful bouquet you can use roses, freesias, tulips, stock and gerbera. There are also fragrant flowers for bouquets such as gardenias, magnolias, freesias and wisteria.

Your flowers should compliment your gown, color, season, attendants attire and the formality of the wedding. You can also use your favorite flower in your bouquet. If you are petite carry a smaller bouquet. A long cascading bouquet complements a fairly simple gown or tall or larger bride. Whatever flowers you select, final arrangement should be made well in advance to insure the availabity of the flowers. If you use delicate flowers that will not withstand the hours of heat or lack of water, make sure your florist uses a holder to keep them fresh.
