The Wedding Party

THE BRIDE

• Nosegay Bouquets - from simplistic graceful elegance to clean-lined contemporary, in any color combination, we can design a nosegay bouquet to compliment nearly all bridal gowns.
• European Hand - Tied Garden Bouquet - soft and feminine, this bouquet is less formal and can be styled with delphinium, lilies, and lunaria or with flowers of the season from the lilac & tulips of spring, peonies & phlox of summer to sunflowers & zinnias of fall. And is also spectacular created with all white garden flowers.
• Cascade Bouquets - A traditional cascading bouquet with a sophisticated elegance usually includes such flowers as gardenias, roses, lilies, orchids, and ivy and is traditionally seen in all white.

BRIDESMAIDS

• It is best to coordinate the matron of honor and bridesmaids bouquets with the style and feeling of the bridal bouquet using a smaller version of what you have chosen for your bouquet.
  • If you choose a Nosegay Bouquet for yourself you may want a smaller version for your bridesmaids in different colors.
  • If you choose a Cascade Bouquet for yourself, nosegay style bouquets are a good choice for your bridesmaids.
  • The European Hand-Tied Bouquet is an especially pretty bouquet for bridesmaids and works well with a bride carrying any of the above styles.
  • Generally your Attendant’s will carry smaller and slightly less formal bouquets than yourself.

GROOM

• A Groom’s boutonniere completes his attire. Traditionally the groom’s boutonniere is created from a blossoms found in the bridal bouquet. The groomsmen and ushers usually have a flower found in the bridesmaid’s bouquets.

FLOWER GIRLS

• Wicker baskets filled with flowers appropriate to the bridal flowers and colors. The basket may be filled with mixed garden blossoms, all roses, or all white flowers.
• Garland headpieces (halo) for young girl's hair with satin ribbon and streamers going down the back are especially pretty.
• Pomanders of flowers are an alternative to the traditional baskets of flowers.
• Always check with your event location to be sure that tossing petals is acceptable as some facilities discourage the tossing of petals. Halo’s for young girl's hair with satin ribbon and streamers going down the back are especially pretty.

CORSAGE

• Corsages generally stay in the color pallet of the Bridal party. Some women prefer not to have a pin on or wrist corsage for those women a miniature hand tied nosegay in colors to coordinate with the wedding party works beautifully.
