…of flora & fauna
Usually, brides-to-be will go for their favourite colour or the colour that compliments them the most. I agree on the latter but if you are like me, I love colours of all sorts (with the exception of tumeric yellow!!). So which one do you choose? A simple way of finding out which colour will suit you & your wedding best, when you are reading through the bridal magazine, find a bridal bouquet that you’d love to have on your wedding day. That is a good start.
If you tend to go for imported blooms (Asian flora are rather bright in colours – that’s for a tropical theme wedding or party) and unless you have the mega budget to spend on the whole wedding decor with imported fresh flowers, use it just in your bridal bouquet. My December bride emailed me a list of her favourite flowers – which happens to be all spring flowers! Since her wedding is in December, the flowers could only be imported from either Australia or New Zealand. Not that I’m against local flowers, but local roses are rather small and the decorator/florist will need a HUGE quantity of it to create the design or decor of your choice. However, imported roses from China & India are almost similar in price but double or triple the size.
I happened to stumble upon this blogspot which is a great, for brides to see the combination of flowers or bridal bouquet that is suitable for them. http://flowerdesignstannes.blogspot.com where beautiful floral arrangments can be an inspiration for brides-to-be. I really like the Mother of the Bride/Groom Epaulette flowers where instead of a corsage or wristlet, the floral epaulette is placed on the shoulder or pinned to a clutch bag of the wearer. It will certainly look great when pinned to the selendang or scarf of the mother of the bride, don’t you think?
Alternative of wristlet or corsage flower

Sweet - both the flower and the mother
