On the wedding day, it is difficult to imagine a happy bride without flowers. Initially, in Russia, a bouquet for a bride was not traditional, but came to us from the West. The bridegroom should choose and give the wedding bouquet to his beloved. It is not so easy to create this flower arrangement. Everything plays a role - the season, the preferences of the bride, her appearance and the style of the wedding dress. In addition, bouquets differ in shape and assembly method.

Step 1
A small round bouquet is popular all over the world as a wedding bouquet. From above it looks round, and from the side it looks like a hemisphere. The cascading bouquet consists of flowers with long stems and is shaped like an inverted blob. In Soviet times, the usual straight bouquet was common, which the bride held along her arm. No special decorations, except for the festive ribbon, were added to it. The "scepter" bouquet is made by braiding the desired shape with flowers. The "muff" bouquet is worn on the hand. In modern wedding dresses, you can even find a loop for such a bouquet.
Step 2
There are several ways to assemble a wedding bouquet. The first, perhaps the most popular today, is the flowers in a porter's bouquets, a plastic device containing a sponge that absorbs water. Flowers in the bouquets will not wither, will not lose their shape, will not stain the dress with flower juice and will not scratch with thorns. It is convenient to hold such a bouquet in your hands, but the design can be heavy. The easiest way to collect the bouquet is with a decorative ribbon. Make a small beautiful bouquet of flowers, based on the bride's own taste and preferences. Trim the stems to length and wrap with tape. It will securely hold the bouquet and minimize the risk of getting dirty. A bouquet of wire assemblies. In this case, the stems are cut completely and the flower buds themselves are attached to the wire with glue and tapes. However, the shorter the remainder of the stem, the more leaves and ribbons are required to mask the wire. Alternatively, the wire is inserted into the stems of the flowers, which makes it possible to bend each stem and give it the desired shape. In this way, you can create a very unusual bouquet, but assembling it requires a sufficient amount of time and a certain level of skill. But he himself, alas, will not be durable.
Step 3
Size matters too. A tall, slender bride will suit an elongated bouquet: "drop" or "muff". But for a petite girl, it will turn out to be too large, cumbersome. The ideal choice for her would be flowers in a bouquette. And the style of the dress should be taken into account. Large elongated bouquets will be good for a long dress with a fluffy skirt. And for short dresses, you should choose a small rounded bouquet.
Step 4
Now pick up the colors. The bouquet can be either monochrome or make up a composition of flowers of different shades. White flowers are a win-win option for any type of bride's appearance, for any dress, season and lighting. However, you can try to complement the bouquet with creamy, pink flowers. Red flowers and even, for example, purple flowers will be good too. However, the bouquet should not be composed entirely of dark colored flowers. In addition, remember that a bouquet that is too saturated in color, for example burgundy, is more appropriate for an adult lady. For a young lady, a bouquet in light colors is suitable.
