Wedding flowers part 2 - the perfect bouquet

Wedding Flowers Part 2 - The Perfect Bouquet

A bouquet is made by mixing large flowers and filler flowers, which work in perfect harmony.

Lay the flowers out in families in front of you. To avoid any risk, don't use lilac at a wedding in the height of summer, as its likely to dry out!

Plan when the flowers you would like to use in the bouquet are going to be in flower. I would suggest holding your bouquet in front of a mirror to see how it looks from different angles. Have several trials when making a bridal bouquet.

The key is to have a variety of flower shapes and styles. Try to keep the really delicate flowers to the inside. I recommend cutting off shoots and buds off Scabiosa. Make sure to add flowers at different heights and keep twisting.
