Your Wedding Flowers Checklist.
Pick your color theme and which of those colors you want to see in your bridal flowers. You do not have to incorporate all of your colors into the bouquets, remember the bouquets are only for the ceremony itself and the pictures. After that they make for beautiful decorations to the head table when laid across the front of it. Ask questions about the colors you have in mind, people like me who do flowers for a living have seen all sorts of different colors/kinds of flowers put together and can give you an honest opinion on how they will look. If your bridesmaids dresses are pink that doesn't mean you have to have pink flowers. Pick brighter colours that will pop against their dress.
