Wedding Flower Ideas
Wedding Flower Ideas For Your Fragrant Wedding Wedding flowers are a symbol of personal style and elegance. The flowers that a bride chooses for her ceremony and reception can be simple or extravagant. They will reflect the brides taste and flare for decorating. Before we get started with our wedding flower ideas, we need to make a few preliminary decisions. Are you looking for silk or live flowers, what the budget for flowers will be, your wedding theme and the general color scheme? (Keep in mind that silk flowers are as beautiful, breathtaking and romantic as live flowers and offer the opportunity to cherish them for your lifetime. They will not wilt in the summer or freeze in the winter.) Once those decisions have been made we can proceed.
You should begin planning your wedding flowers several months before your wedding date. If you are using a florist make certain to specify any specialty items that you may want in your floral arrangements. Some brides choose to put crystals, pearls or other ornaments into their bouquets and arrangements.
There are so many options for your bridal bouquet. When I was married, I asked the florist if they could work a small corsage into my bridal bouquet. I removed the corsage prior to throwing my bouquet and was able to wear it after my reception and the next day. My Mom hung the corsage upside down to dry it, and I kept it on my dresser for several years. (Wedding Bouquet created by Lincroft Florist, Lincroft, NJ.)
Wedding flower ideas and choices are endless. You can choose roses, which are a symbol of love. Red Roses symbolize deep love and respect. Pink roses symbolize grace and gentility. American culture symbolizes white roses as security and happiness. Yellow roses represent joy, happiness, freedom and contentment.

Boutineers are popular for the groom, groomsman, father of the bride and groom and any other significant men at the wedding.
Most brides choose bouquets for their bridesmaids that are not as extravagant as the bridal bouquet but have a similar theme as the bride’s bouquet. Corsages for the mother of the bride and groom are customary. Some brides also give corsages to other important women in their lives. If there is a flower girl, a decorated basket with flower petals for the flower girl to drop as she walks down the aisle is a sweet touch. And of course, if there is a ring bearer, a boutonniere for him is appropriate too.
If you are getting married in a church or other religious place call ahead and see if another bride will be married on the same day as you. You can contact the other bride and perhaps share in the cost of the flower arrangements. Some florists rent floral pieces which could also save you some money. Many brides have the pews of the church decorated with bows, flowers and tulle which add a touch of elegance. The same ideas can be used to decorate a chuppah if you are Jewish.

Floral centerpieces add romance and energy to the reception. Guests typically like to talk to each other during the reception, so table centerpieces should be low and as close to the table as possible or placed high up upon a pedestal. You can hide a penny under one of the dinner plates and the person who sits at that place gets to take the centerpiece home.
Remember wedding flower ideas can be as simple or elaborate as your imagination and budget allow.
