Tips & Warnings
Keep the same theme in flowers throughout the entire wedding. Use similar flowers in the hair, bouquets, boutonnieres and church arrangements. This may also create a financial advantage for ordering in bulk.
While there are many traditional flowers that are common and very beautiful for weddings, consider something a little out of the ordinary. Orchids in summer, fall foliage in the autumn or evergreen and holly for a winter wedding are some examples.
Consider using silk flowers instead of real ones.
Flowers can be expensive. Money can be saved by using only a small amount of flowers in the hair or using a less expensive (but often as beautiful) accent flower (such as baby's breath).
Be sure to have a professional style your hair with flowers. They have experience in keeping styles together and can best style your hair around your flowers and keep them where they belong.
