-One:
flowers are on the i increase is
because they are more
, permenant. Many - ‘brides.
enjoy keeping their
’ bouquets and they present
the. arrangements fo. their

bridesmaids as‘ a. remem: "

-brance of ‘the ‘event. ‘The |
_ bridesmaids bouquets can be

made into .a permanent
centerpiece or can be
mounted under glass.

The bride can also have
her -bouquet arranged so it
can be used in an everyday
Situation in the home. This
keeps the memories lasting.

Silk flowers also offer a
wide. variety of -flowers :and--~.-*

colors for the bridal‘ party

regardless of the time of

year. Many delicate flowers
are_not available during the
winter ‘wedding or late
summer’ weddings, yet with a
silk flower bouquet, any
variety ‘of flowers can be
chosen. Fresh greenery can
also be added to make the
arrangement look real.

There is also a wider color
selection available. Certain
colours to match the bridal
party_could not otherwise be
found without spraying the
real flowers. In the silk
flower arrangements a larger
selection is available and the
flowers can be blended to
co-ordinate with the outfits
worn by the bridal party.

Using silk flowers in the
wedding allows the bride to
see the bouquet before the
wedding to assure that
everything is completed
correctly.

This removes a lot of the
worry from the bride since
she is able-to make sure the
arrangement -is done just as

~The — traditional real
flowers are still popular as_

‘always. and. the’ cascade”
bouquet seems to be. the.
‘most popular style for a
bridal bouquet. The cascade
*~ drapes down the brides dress’
and adds highlights to the
gown. Some of the more
popular flowers in the.
bouquets are the ever |
popular roses, .carnations -

Brides are choosing : a wide
variety of colours, ‘moving
more and more away from
‘the all white bouquet.

“Included in the wedding
‘plans and floral designs are
the church decorations
which are used to complete
the total look. The flowers
on the altar and--along the
aisle tend to co-ordinate the
surroundings with the bridal
party and give a feeling of
unity to the entire
ceremony. Aisle and altar
decorations are on the in-
crease as more brides plan
their wedding with the total
‘surroundings i in mind.

Another popular bouquet
is the colonial arrangement
since it does not overpower
_-the bride. It does not detract _
from her looks and nicely
accents most any style of
gown. ,

‘No matter what the ex-
perts feel is the most popular
flower or bouquet
arrangement it all comes
down to the bride and
bridegrooms individual
tastes. They make the final
decision and the most
popular style is the one that
suits them the best. ,
