Advice 4. What flowers can not be given for a wedding
When choosing a composition, be careful with lilies. These flowers, although beautiful, have a pungent smell. Not all people like him.
In no case do not give lilies to the groom at the wedding, only to the bride! And before buying and giving flowers, check with the young if they have any allergies. Also be careful with yellow flowers. Many couples believe that this color symbolizes separation.
Although for brave brides there are bouquets worthy of their character: “Sunny Day” and “Juicy Colors”. They just love to order the last composition for a wedding, as it becomes a bright accent in the gentle image of the bride. It consists of nine yellow roses of the Ilios variety and three orange spray roses of the Rio variety. The flowers are complemented by juicy berries and greens. Purchase bonus – groom’s boutonniere as a gift.
Don’t include tulips, daffodils or hyacinths in your wedding bouquet. These flowers are certainly beautiful, but too modest for a wedding ceremony. Such bouquets are usually used to express sympathy or simply handed over for show.
You also need to be careful when choosing red roses. It is better to replace the symbol of unbridled desire and passion with flowers of neutral shades. For example, buy a large bouquet of white or cream roses. So, ideal as a gift for the bride and groom will fit the bouquet “My dear” of spray cream roses or 101 white roses of the “Valentina” variety, packed in an abaca.
Important: make sure that the stems of the plants are cleared of thorns to avoid unpleasant consequences.
You should not give the bride and groom carnations the same way. These delicate lace flowers are usually presented for patriotic holidays. It is better not to experiment so as not to cause unpleasant associations in the newlyweds.
However, each person has their own tastes. And if the bride likes snow-white gladioli, modest daisies, as in the bouquets “Happiness” or “You are gorgeous,” or the same carnations (25 white carnations in a pink box), then why reinvent the wheel ?! Carefully study the flower preferences of the young and then boldly give a fragrant present.
Tip 5. How many flowers to give for a wedding
There is no universal advice on how many branches should be in a bouquet. It all depends on the financial capabilities of the buyer and his taste. Remember: give as many flowers to the wedding as your heart desires. The main thing is to present the composition sincerely, with a smile and compliments.
The more flowers there are in the bouquet, the more effective it looks. However, the trick is precisely in the variety of flowers. So, 25 pale pink roses and a composition of 9 branches of bush chrysanthemum will look equally attractive. However, bouquets of 101 roses have always been a safe bet.
The compositions are voluminous, but at the same time quite compact. If you have the opportunity, then do not skimp on the wedding of your loved ones. Surely, they get married once and for life. For this reason, the celebration must be of the highest order.
The basic rule: there must be an odd number of flowers in a gift wedding bouquet. Count each bud carefully before going to the event. Sometimes in large bouquets, no, no, yes, there is an extra twig …
Advice:
- If you are giving a bouquet of roses, then it must contain at least five flowers.
An ideal gift bouquet for a son or daughter – 151 white roses, wrapped in a dense abacus material, tied with a satin ribbon. The composition is large, lush, looks pompous and immediately speaks of how much you love young people. - If you give tulips, then only from 11 pieces, otherwise the composition will look scanty.
A bouquet of 101 red and white tulips can be presented to the bride and groom for a wedding. An armful of flowers will present you in a favorable light in front of guests, show your status and position in society. - According to etiquette, the bride should be handed the bouquet with her right hand, buds up.
There are no other universal rules. Rely on your sense of style and tact.
