How to choose
Previously, choosing a bouquet for the bride was the bridegroom's responsibility, but nowadays, as a rule, brides choose their own composition, order an attribute, not trusting this important moment to anyone. And it is not surprising, because so many things must be taken into account to make the accessory original, beautiful and consistent with the ceremony as a whole. And also do not forget about the compliance of the composition and the boutonniere of the groom.
Choosing a wedding bouquet is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. When choosing, it is important to consider several significant characteristics and points:

When choosing flowers, you should pay attention to their seasonality, it is better to choose flowers that correspond to a certain period. So, in winter it is better to make bouquets of carnations, gerberas, roses, chrysanthemums, since summer flowers in winter frosts do not last long «will live». Freesia, calla lilies, hydrangeas, orchids are perfect for a summer wedding. Why is it better to choose seasonal flowers? During the season, their quality is higher, the range is larger, and the cost is lower.

So, blondes are not recommended to use bright, catchy colors in a bouquet so that he does not distract all attention from the bride, but white, nondescript tones are also not an option, since they will merge. It is best to choose flowers in pastel shades. For brunettes, bright colors (red, purple) or white, cream shades are perfect.
- The form. One of the important points, since how the bouquet will look with the bride will depend on the form. Choosing a uniform is based on the style of the dress and veil of the bride, her figure and height.
