Tips & Warnings

• Bridesmaids’ bouquets are usually smaller in size to the maid of honor and the bride herself, so make sure you consider this when purchasing for the bridesmaids.
• Develop your taste on what type of flowers you think would best suit the color scheme of the bridesmaids ahead of time before you begin deciding on what to purchase.
• Do not leave anybody out who wants to wear flowers. Include whoever wants to be included in the ceremony, just make sure it all coordinates together.
