You no longer have to worry about itchy, watery eyes and other discomforting symptoms associated with pollen allergies. These roses are made from different colors of tape that are folded and cut intricate ways to form flowers resembling roses. A tape bouquet of complementary colors adds a futuristic feel to your wedding ceremony that will have many guests talking.
Break Away
-
Breakaway bouquets are made of three separate bouquets -- each one serving a specific purpose. In the beginning, all three are combined to make the special bouquet the bride uses as she walks down the aisle. As the day progresses, the bride breaks away one part of the bouquet to throw during the bouquet toss. The bride gives the second bouquet to a loved one as a gift. She keeps the remaining bouquet as a memento.

Symbolism
-
Use meaningful flowers throughout your wedding ceremony and reception to give your special day even more significance. According to Beau-coup.com, yellow flowers are synonymous for friendship and snowdrops symbolize hope. You can incorporate these flowers into your bridal party's bouquets to give your wedding day special meaning. The bride can make her own wedding bouquet consisting of flowers that symbolize meanings she holds dear. An example of a wonderfully expressive and vibrant bouquet are white roses, which symbolize innocence; violets, which represent faithfulness; and heathers, which represent good luck.
Texture
-
Traditional mainstream bouquets and flower arrangements usually consist of similar flowers possessing the same physical characteristics, such as color, height and width. Often these types of flower arrangements look very modest and uniform. To add more depth and flair to your wedding flowers, use a variety of different types of flowers. Use short and tall flowers to make centerpieces even more extravagant and provide your guests with breathtaking beauty. My Wedding Planning Guide.com suggests using berries, pine cones, fruits, feathers, shells and leaves to give flowers a textured look. You can also use long, aerodynamic, dark green bear grass to give flowers at the wedding reception an earthy feel. Small flowers mixed in with larger, more robust flowers, give each centerpiece a multidimensional look.
