Wedding Bouquets

A wedding bouquet is a decorative arrangement of flowers that the bride carries during the wedding ceremony. It is often tossed during the reception in the traditional bouquet toss.

Bridal bouquets are an essential bridal accessory, but they can be quite expensive. To save money, without compromisingly the look and color, follow these rules:

1. When selecting the flowers for your wedding look for locally available flowers that are in season.
2. Get flowers similar in color and size but a cheaper price, sometimes cheaper flowers are available even within the same family of flowers.
3. Choose an elegant alternative to expensive imported wraps. Simple satin ribbons provide the look without the cost.
4. Look for simpler flower arrangements that are not too labor intensive; as these can be far more expensive.
5. The filler, the foliage that fills in between the flowers, can also be costly. Choose a less expensive filler to lower the total cost.

1. The rose symbolizes love and beauty. Depending on the color, it could have many other meanings.
2. The calla lily stand for purity and beauty.
3. The tulip represents declared love and years of happiness,
4. Hydrangeas stand for vanity.
5. The stephanotis is often used to symbolize happiness in marriage.
