place for all- the wedding."events including
the ceremony,. reception, rehearsal dinner
and other special parties.
Explain the color scheme selected and as
much detail as possible about the type of col-
or and fabrics to be worn by members of the
bridal party or others to be wearing flowers.
Include details for headpieces, tiaras, hair
decorations, flower girl basket, ring bearer

Your bridal bouquet is designed just. for
you to complement the lines of your gown
and the over-all beauty of your ensemble.
Carry the bouquet gracefully, naturally and
low enough so the high fashion details of
your dress will not be hidden.

your ring finger, rather than grasping it
with the full hand. This works well whether
the bouquet is held to the side or low in the

carry bouquets in: the.receiying_line as well.
Corsages should be worn with the stems
down, as the flowers grow. If weather is cool

Bouquets for both bride and attendants,
may be of any color; white is traditional for
the bride but other colors are used. Atten-
dants' bouquets should harmonize with their
gowns and the honor attendant's bouquet is
usually a different color and slightly larger
than for other attendants.

have beauty and spirituality, placed to be
seen by everyone, yet not obstruct the view
of the ceremony or any religious objects.
They are frequently white or subdued in col-
or with greenssuch as palms always ap-
propriate.
In contrast to the wedding, flowers at the
reception may be gay and bright, befitting
the occasion, and may follow the color
scheme you have selected. Greens or floral
bouquets may be used as a special back-
drop for the receiving line.
Because flowers for the wedding vary
locally, an experienced florist is the best
source of advice.
