"This is how you come up with the design elements so that you can tell if you have a good bouquet or not. First thing you need to do is make sure that it's roughly going to be the size that you're looking at, if you have a small petite bride, you want to make sure that you've measured on the bride as well as on here how big it's going to be. If you've got a nice flow of the flowers in the bouquet, if you've got a lot of depth going on. This is also when you could take a look at it and you can start adding some interest to the bouquet through crystals like we could have here that you can get at any store or seashells what have you. You could see where it will add some space or placement into the bouquet. This is good to if you use stuff like crystals because it will add a little shine to it as the cameras hit her and as she's going down the aisle. Whether it be a bright light of the sun of an outdoor wedding or whether it's an indoor wedding by candlelight. The other things that'll help you is like if she has crystals in her dress this will just carry them down into the bouquet or you can get pearls. These come in almost any different types and colors that you would like so then what you start doing is looking at the depth of it and your design elements in the bouquet and keep on eye on it and take a look at it and see how it's looking for you and that's the stuff here and how you look for your design elements. Take a look at it."
