Any wedding celebration, stylized or classic, requires extensive and thorough preparation. The organizers and perpetrators of the holiday need to think through absolutely all the little things from the choice of the leading and the restaurant to the design of the cake and the color of the accessories.

Wedding accessories

The gorgeous festive dress of the girl and the solemn costume of the young man is not all that is needed to create perfect images. Integral accessories are the bridal bouquet and groom's boutonniere. Often young people have the opportunity to order them in a set. Such a bouquet and boutonniere performed in the same style. To create them apply the same flowers, beads or ribbons. The unity of color and form suggests that lovers have something in common.

Men attach the boutonniere on the left side - closer to the heart. For the bride, since it is customary to throw a bouquet during a feast, they usually create a duplicate similar to the original bouquet.

Since most of the wedding flowers are chosen from fresh flowers, then a bouquet with a buttonhole is made with their use. Groom's friends and bridesmaids can also use similar details in their outfits.

Boutonniere witnesses have a slightly smaller size than the groom, but they are created in the same style. For girls in addition to dresses of the same color, bracelets are offered in the same design as the bridal bouquet. A single style is maintained for decorative floral inserts in the bride's hairstyle, and in the decoration of the table.

A pin or brooch is always present on the boutonniere, with which it is attached to the jacket or shirt of the groom. Sometimes a wooden badge is used as a base, which looks very stylish and even brutal.

For the bouquet and the buttonhole often use the same ribbon (usually satin). They are wrapped around the base of the bouquet. However, the variant of winding flowers with a string of burlap or string will be no less stylish.

Following the tradition, the bouquet gives the groom after the "ransom". The bride, meanwhile, fastens a boutonniere on the costume of her chosen one, thus revealing her love and tenderness. It is especially touching if the accessories are made by the hands of the pair itself.

Flowers and inserts

Sometimes the bouquet and boutonniere are made of several identical flowers, and sometimes they are similar only to one element. Both options look equally harmonious. Natural flowers are used most often for decoration, but other inserts can also be used. Additional decor makes accessories more original.

Decorative elements can be feathers, beads, pearls, branches with berries, herbarium leaves (if it is an autumn bouquet) or needles with cones (if the wedding is celebrated in the winter season).

An interesting option would be the use of cotton in accessories, it gives a feeling of lightness and airiness.

Some needlewomen can make decor from beads, buttons, rhinestones.

Sometimes flowers are used in combination with field grass, spikes.

When creating flower accessories, the stems are best cut at an angle and stored until a celebration in a cool place. So they will remain fresh and fragrant. A good solution would be to use carnations, orchids, roses, lilies, peonies. All these flowers look elegant and fashionable, and also have positive meanings: romance, love, success. Color, size and quantity are chosen individually, depending on the preference of the newlyweds and the time of flowering.

Large flowers are best combined with small buds or greens.If the newlyweds do not accept the use of natural flowers, a bouquet and a buttonhole can be made from fabric imitation of plants, corrugated paper, lace and other elements.
