Flowers and colour range
Colour is one of the main aspects to consider when choosing a wedding bouquet. Of course, everything will depend on your taste and preferences in the first place, but do not forget that the bouquet must be in harmony with the details of your image. As for colour, let us note that: yellow flowers and its shades represent energy; they are ideal for the cheerful, bright, active and friendly brides. White symbolises elegance and purity, ideal if you are a compassionate and calm woman. Blue and its derivatives mean trust, harmony and freedom, while red represents passion, love and inner strength.
When you decided upon the main colours of your bouquet, the next thing is to think about flowers, as they may represent some symbols and emotions you might want to express while being a bride. Each flower has its own special charm. For example, orchids – evoke sensuality and purity of love; roses, too, symbolise purity, innocence, eternity, romance, love and passion; peonies, symbolise strength, beauty, grace and sincerity; tulips, declaration of sincerity, eternal and perfect love; hydrangeas, are a symbol of femininity, balance, elegance, courage and spiritual happiness.
Seasonality
The season choice is not the easy thing to decide upon. Especially to help you to choose, we wrote an article about the best time for a wedding in the most picturesque area of Tuscany: Chianti. Each season has its own peculiarities, so a wedding in autumn and a wedding in spring are completely different things, not to mention summer and winter. That’s why we have to consider the season. The choice of bouquet for your wedding depends on the seasonality, and we are here to help you to find out if some special flower you particularly like will be available for your wedding date. Seasonal flowers, especially local ones, are always of higher quality, for instance, dahlias who come from Holland will always be inferior in price, size and freshness to the locals because they cannot bear transportation. Peonies, in November and December, are very different in size and price, several times different from summer, and rarely open and can remain in the form of buds, the same goes for anemones in summer. We have been working with professional florists for years, so we will advise you, what kind of flowers it is better to choose according to its blossom time.
Stylish combination: wedding dress and bridal bouquet
It is no secret that the moment when the bride appears is the most important moment at the wedding celebration, so it is very important to find the perfect bouquet that will harmonize with the wedding dress because all eyes will be chained to the bride and her image. But in order to make the right choice, you need to know what types of bouquets are best suited to this or that wedding dress. Classic – this type of bouquet is one of the most popular. It is a round bouquet that imitates half a sphere. Its diameter usually does not exceed 30 centimetres, and the bouquet itself consists of small flowers. This bouquet is perfect for elegant wedding dresses with an exquisite skirt. Wildflowers – absolutely any type of flower will be suitable for creating this bouquet, and two words will characterise it: randomness and simplicity. It will be great if you decide to organise a wedding in boho-chic or rustic style and choose this bouquet, for example, if you have a ceremony in one of our wonderful Tuscan villas that we will be glad to offer you. Asymmetry – this bouquet is made up of very different colours, placed in a chaotic manner, yet perfectly matching each other. This bouquet is a perfect complement to your image if you match the flowers to the tone of your wedding dress.
The conception of your wonderful wedding celebration directly depends on the style you choose to celebrate your moment of love. If you have a classical ceremony in a town hall, soft and pastel colours such as white or pink will suit you the most. And as for flowers, roses, poppies, hydrangeas, peonies, camellia and wildflowers will be your allies. If you and your better half chose a romantic wedding, with a celebration on nature, in a secret Tuscan garden, in a cosy church or chapel with a very natural setting, then carnations, camellia and lavender of natural colours such as green, blue, brown or white will highlight your splendid beauty. For a modern wedding, bet on an asymmetrical bouquet, as the shape of your bouquet can fully represent your bright and unique personality. Flowers such as orchids, tulips, roses or camellias will be on your side.
