There's no doubt that wedding bouquets are one of the most photographed details from a wedding.  It's important that you choose high quality flowers.  What exactly does that mean?  There have been times when we have zoomed in to take a photograph of a brides bouquet only to see wilting flowers or flowers with brown all around the edges.  That's not what you want for your wedding day.  You want a bouquet that will photograph beautifully.

One of the ways you can make sure of this is by hiring the right florist.  Ask questions such as "How fresh are your flowers"?  "When does my bouquet get made"?  "How are they delivered"? "When are they delivered"?

Let's say that you want to make your own bouquet.  Again quality flowers are a must.  You also need to make sure that if you purchased the flowers the day before in order to make them yourself they need to be kept in the refrigerator in water.

The type of flowers you choose are totally up to you and depend on your style.  

There is also the option to have silk flowers.  Silk flowers have come a long way and if you didn't know it you couldn't tell like the ones in the image below! Your silk flowers can be as full and fancy as you like.  The possibilities are endless.

Whether you choose real flowers, silk or a broch bouquet choose what will be an accent to your wedding dress.  You never want a bouquet that is overpowering you or the dress.  

Tip:  Your wedding bouquet should be no bigger than your head.

What kind of bouquet will you choose?  Will it be real flowers, silk or perhaps a broch bouquet?  We'd love to hear from you!
