A Guide to Choosing Flowers for Bouquets
Selecting the perfect flowers is the first step to creating a beautiful bouquet. This can be made easier by keeping the following tips in mind:
- Follow a color scheme. Consider your venue or the color scheme of the occasion for what the bouquet is for. Make sure to complement the colors of the flowers to the area where the bouquet will be displayed or the receiver’s favorite colors as well.
- The petals must be vibrant. It is important that the petals do not appear faded. If they look wilting or develop a dull brownish color near the edges, then you should reject them. Look for flowers that are bright and fresh.
- Check the flowers available in season. For your bouquet, you may want to consider picking in-season flowers because they are fresher and affordable.
