It\u2019s almost impossible to imagine a wedding without flowers. The bright fragrant blooms find their way into the decor, the ceremony and even, on to the bride and groom. Of these, a particular bunch garners a lot of attention \u2013 the bridal bouquet.<\/p>\n

The tradition<\/b> of the bride carrying a bouquet dates back centuries. Though back then, the posies were a lot different from the ones seen today. In the past, the bride usually carried a bunch of herbs and strong smelling spices to the wedding altar. The spices and strong odour were meant to ward off evil spirits and of course, for their fragrance.<\/p>\n

Tips for choosing the best Bridal Bouquet<\/h3>\n

Flowers were symbols <\/b>of fertility and one of the first to make its appearance in a bridal bouquet was the orange blossom. Later, the bride chose flowers with significant meanings, like roses for everlasting love, lilac for first love, ivy for fidelity etc.<\/p>\n

Today, the bridal bouquet is an integral part of the colour scheme<\/b>. They range from exotic orchids to a posy of local blooms. They may be as daring or demure as the bride\u2019s heartfelt wish. Blossoms can either compliment or contrast the dress. Bouquets are often made by choosing flowers that hold a special meaning for the couple.<\/p>\n

The bridal bouquet must be as elaborate or simple<\/b> as the wedding dress. With that simple rule, one just can\u2019t go wrong! A grand wedding gown calls for a large arrangement of flowers; a sheath dress for a light, airy one. Just make certain the blooms don\u2019t overshadow the wedding dress and not cumbersome to carry. Another rule of thumb, the bridal bouquet is usually bigger than the bridesmaid\u2019s ones.<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Did you know, this bunch of bridal blooms can enhance proportions<\/b>?\u00a0 A petite bride should preferably carry a teardrop shaped posy giving an illusion of height. Brides who are not short of height can go in for large, round bouquets and those with a full-figure should ideally opt for a cascade or tear drops.<\/p>\n

For an intimate wedding, the groom can be the one sending the bridal bouquet before the wedding ceremony! Or pick a bunch of flowers from your mother\u2019s garden. A bunch of lotus buds from the local pond or a simple tight arrangement of jasmine garland could be eye-catching.<\/p>\n
