And style also will be a factor. For instance, a long cascade takes longer to create than a hand-tied bouquet, and it usually costs more, too. It's important that you know the wedding's location and the colors of dresses before you begin selecting flowers and arrangements. Also check to see if your church, synagogue or wedding site has regulations or restrictions concerning flower arrangements. Most brides still prefer the traditional wedding flowers - bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and nosegays.
Balloons are increasingly popular for a festive reception.
Hand-tied bouquets that are simple and elegant are popular now in the Richmond area. A garden look, with lilies and roses, also remains popular for Virginia brides. When making arrangements for newlyweds, florists can provide flower and balloon arrangements that suit different needs.
