Deep Freeze

Some flowers turn black when the temperature dips below 42 degrees. If you're marrying in winter, pick blooms—like hydrangeas—that can stand up to the cold.

Stand Alone

Save time by choosing one type of flower (in one color) for your wedding decor and bouquets. Think peonies, roses, or hydrangeas, which are lush enough to stand on their own.

Vintage Bouquets

Weave family heirlooms—vintage buttons, antique brooches, strands of pearls—into your bouquet for a touch of "something old."

Tickled Pink

For a fun and feminine celebration, think pink. Try gerbera daisies, celery sticks filled with pink beet horseradish, cosmopolitan cocktails, and hot-pink rock candy.

The New Vase

Use fun alternatives to vases such as antique watering cans for a country event and large conch shells for a seaside fete.

Supersize It

Choose one hue to create a fuller-looking bouquet without spending one extra dime. Monochromatic bouquets look fuller than ones made with blooms of various colors.

Sticky Situation

What to do if a boutonniere snaps in two? Dab on some glue from a hot glue gun. Pinch the bud and stem for a few seconds to make sure they stick.

In Your Best Light

Colored lighting is beautiful. Ask your site manager to swap out white light bulbs for amber, peach, gold or pink ones that make everyone glow.

Country Covers

How to dress your tables at a country affair? Unfurl fabrics that are ever so humble for tablecloths, seat cushions, and slipcovers. Try gingham and calico cottons, burlap, hopsack, and corduroy.

From Brides magazine

Branch Out

Inexpensive blooms like carnations make sumptuous arrangements affordable, while one or two branches of orchids create dramatic yet cost-effective displays.

From Brides magazine

Boutonniere Bust

If you find yourself short a boutonniere on your wedding day, snag a flower from one of the bridesmaid bouquet’s or pick a bloom from the back of one of the ceremony arrangements.

From Brides magazine

Heads-Up

Instead of bouquets, have your florist create European-style head wreaths for your bridesmaids to wear down the aisle.
