a bouquet as she walked down the
aisle solo.
A glamourous bride who prefers
to make a statement with flowers
should choose something like
orchids, peonies, giant peonies or
black magic roses, A bull's-eye bou-
quet which makes circular rows of
flowers look like a bull's eye is right
on target for a woman who wants to
make a statement. And . this bride
often chooses more sleek and simple
flower arrangements for her brides-
maids - if she includes them -
because she should be the centre of
attention.
Money is no object for this bride,
so she does not care if her flowers
are in season. (In-season flowers are
always more affordable.)
THE ROMANTIC BRIDE
She wants to be a princess for a
day and often wears a big frilly dress
with lots of regal details. The late
Princess Diana is her role model, but
she can turn to recently wed TV per-
sonality Star Jones for inspiration,
too. -
Jones - who could be mistaken for
a glamourous bride because of the
extravagance of her star-studded
affair at a New York City hotel -
chose flowers that were all romance,
from her cascading bouquet to the
small nosegays of pastel roses car-
ried by bridesmaids including
actress Holly Robinson Peete and
singer Natalie Cole.
The decorative floral arrange-
ments at the reception included
white orchids, roses and calla lilies -
all of which scream love.
The romantic bride should consid-
er dahlias, a baby's breath cloud or a
nosegay in a silver or gold cone-
shaped vase called a tussy mussy.
Tea roses are a great choice for the
bridesmaids. Her flowergirl carries a
pomander and .wears a wreath of
baby's breath or daisies in her hair.
The colour palette forcentrepieces
should be soft and demure. Before
placing clear vases of flowers on
reception tables, some romantic
brides opt for putting fake pearls at
the bottom of each one to hide the
flowers' stems.
THE BEACH BRIDE
This girl knows when the surf's
up, and she wants to smell the salt of
the ocean when she says "I do."
Beach brides often wear a white
bikini or a slinky dress with little
detail, which means her bouquet
should be eye-catching. -
Mira Sorvino carried a burst of
tiny white and yellow blossoms
when she got married on a hilltop on
the Italian island of Capri that over-
looks the Mediterranean Sea:
Something like spiky blue veronica
with hydrangea, white amaryllis,
sunflowers or birds of paradise can
make a statement in the sand.
The groom wears linen yet steers
clear of any flowers - unless the cou-
ple is in. Hawaii and opts for match-
ing leis. In that case, their bridal
party - if they have one - will follow
suit. If not, the bridesmaids are
more likely to have a tropical flower
in their hair instead of their
hands.
Flower arrangements that feature
shells make for fitting decora-
tions.
THE ANTI-BRIDE
The only rule for the anti-bride is
that there are no rules. She can relate
to model Mia Tyler who, thanks to
her father Steven Tyler, got married
on the fly onstage to rocker Dave
Buckner at an Aerosmith concert in
2003.
If the anti-bride opts for a bouquet,
she is likely to have her friends each
give her a flower which she will
bunch together and tie with a ribbon,
or her groom will buy her one.
