Wedding Bouquets – Keep them low girls!

One of the most important things A First Class Wedding can teach a bride and her girls before they walk down the isle is how to hold their wedding bouquets. You may think this is funny but for some reason or another bouquets seem to take the position of a microphone instead of a beautiful hand held arrangement, landing right under the girls chin. Now, it’s very possible that the bouquet has a mind of it’s own and that this is normal behavior yet the truth of the matter is that holding wedding bouquets in this position is not flattering to you, your bosoms nor does it look good in any of the wedding photographs.

So, how do you hold wedding bouquets? Simple! The most flattering way to hold your bouquet is right in front of your belly button. So, relax your arm in a somewhat straight position instead of bending it upwards. Hide your belly with the beautiful flora you’re holding, straighten you back and show off your chest.

Oh, and don’t forget to smile!

Wedding Bouquet Costs

This Wedding Bouquet Costs?

This medium french bouquet consisting of approx. 15 Green Cymbidium Orchids, 15-20 special order mini Calla Lily (in orange/yellow), and greenery. Would you guess what this wedding bouquet costs are $100? $200? or how about $300?  If you guessed $200 then you’d be close. This bouquet cost a recent Hawaii wedding client $255, which is (believe it or not) the going price of a custom medium french bouquet in today’s destination wedding market. Tack on an extra $50 flower delivery fee, taxes and you’re on your way down the isle.

Many brides are under the misconception that actual wedding bouquet costs are cheaper than what they really iare. You have to keep in mind that this particular bouquet shown above is a custom order. If the bride had selected more “standard” flowers such as roses instead of calla lily and orchids, then the cost of this bouquet would be about $185 or less.

There are many variables to consider when ordering your wedding flowers such as size, shape, style, and particular flowers. If you are in the beginning stages of the planning process and are trying to figure out the wedding bouquets costs will be then we recommend as a general rule that you allow at least $200 in your budget for your bouquet. Of course, if you are a girl that oozes “custom”, then you will have to adjust your budget accordingly.
