No wedding is complete without all the beautiful blooms of the wedding day, especially the bridal bouquet. Here are some tips from Beau-Rivage Geneva’s dedicated florist for a dreamy and picture-perfect flower bouquet:
– It is important to focus on colours that the bride prefers, her favourite flowers, the shape and colour of her dress and her physique. Indeed, the bouquet must be proportional to its size. For example, a round bouquet is best associated with a smaller person, while a drooping bouquet is better associated with a taller person. Just like a mermaid dress or a meringue dress, these are important elements to integrate when designing the bouquet.
– Always check if the bride has a specific theme or if she wants to follow current floral trends. The bouquet must also meet her character because it completes her outfit and reflects her personality.
– The combination of flowers and colours is essential for a successful bouquet. Indeed, the bride’s bouquet is a masterpiece and a real floral jewel.
– Establishing coherence and linking it with the groom. For example, the bridegroom’s buttonhole will have similarities with the bride’s bouquet, as will the flowers placed on the guests’ tables or those distributed throughout the church.
– Lastly, for the flowers to keep their freshness and for the bouquet to last throughout this exceptional day, create the bouquet maximum one day before or on the same day of the wedding.
With unique décor, elegant surroundings, exquisite cuisine and unsurpassed attention to detail, Beau-Rivage will create a memorable event from planning to execution, simply because they understand what it means to be part of the first chapter of your ‘ever-after’ story.
