As you make your presence at a wedding reception, what usually catches your attention are the music, the ambience and oh those lovely smells of freshly cut blooms! Flowers are an essential element to all weddings as they add galore to the whole occasion. Jasmines and roses are the customary flowers used for weddings here in Malaysia namely because of their fragrance and the colours which compliment the whole theme.

Decorations for wedding receptions consist of greens, buds and blooms and although white colours are usually the norm, pastel shades can be chosen to blend with the other ornaments of the bridal party.

A Handful of tips for that special bridal bouquet

· Your bridal bouquet should compliment your wedding gown. Therefore, if you’re using a simple couture, then you should opt for a more elaborate hand bouquet and vice versa.

· Do opt for local blooms as they’re inexpensive and they come in wide varieties.

· Bear in mind that the wedding flowers you choose depend highly on your personality and the texture of your wedding gown:

· Lilies of the Valley and roses arranged in smaller cascades are best suited for petite brides.

· Calla lilies and orchids make the perfect bridal bouquet for taller brides.

· Camellia and gardenias go very well with satin and brocade wedding dresses.

· Set a budget and discuss with your florist so that the final outcome will be suitable to your finances and requirements. After all, you wouldn’t want to be broke on your wedding day!
