Step1
Consider what parts you want the bridesmaids to play in your wedding. What actions you are going to have them do in the ceremony and the reception?
Step2
Decide on a color scheme. It is most important to make sure the bridesmaids’ all match and are coordinated with each other.
Step3
Discuss a budget with your wedding planner or those who are helping you prepare. Decide on a budget before you go looking for bouquets to purchase for the bridesmaids’.

Ask the bridesmaids’ opinions once you have decided on the type of bouquets you want them to have. It is always good to know how the people who will be holding the bouquets feel about the flowers in general.

Tips & Warnings
