"So, after once this is learning how to get the style of the wedding. Once you find out what your bride's like and what her personality and ambitions and ideas of what her perfect wedding will be, you start to ask her needle her down to a little bit more detail. You want to know if it's going to be a formal wedding or an informal wedding, if it's a outdoor wedding or an indoor wedding. Because, all that plays part of her the bridal bouquet. If she wants a formal wedding, then you have to use more formal flowers like lilies and roses. If you want to go a little bit more casual you can go to flowers like tulips, wildflowers, anything that's more grown out in the field. And, it's like you just went out and picked up a bunch of flowers. If they wanted to have it simple, then you can go with one color. If you want to have it full of color, she can go with it makes it more informal. But, it's a more casual country looking Victoria wedding. The other thing you can do, is ask her does she want color in her wedding? A more formal wedding is a very simple color. Maybe white for the bride and only white in her bouquet. And, for the bridesmaids a simple color one color for each one and they all be the same for the bridesmaids. If she wants more of an informal wedding, you can start adding color into it or any kind of a theme like seashells or lace or whatever her theme or thing is. And, the flower girls don't have to be all the same. They can be in different colors. They can be in different styles using the same flower. Their bouquet could be as loose as the bride's is. If they want they could carry a hand tied bouquet or it can be as tight and structured if it's going to be a very formal wedding and very elegant. This also could be carried down through the flower girls as well as the mother and father of the bride. They all need to be tied into supporting that bride. The bride, the groom his flowers are chosen to accent the bride. Because, that is her day and she's in charge and the star of the light and everybody is a hierarchy back to her. And, that's basically how you get the style of the bouquet from the bride."
