Surround Yourself with Wedding Flowers This Year
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

The Bladen Journal reports Phoenix Audrey Bennett of San Diego, California, and Michael Brent Underwood of Tar Heel were married in the garden of Margie Robeson Neff, grandmother of the groom.

Your wedding plans may not be as dramatic as Phoenix Bennett's and Michael Underwood's wedding plans, but you can certainly create a bouquet of wedding flowers as beautiful as the ones in Margie's garden! Some weddings in fact, are rather simple and display only a minimal number of flowers if any at all. Traditional weddings, on the other hand, fill the atmosphere with flowers. Not only can you fill your wedding with flowers, you can fill your bouquet with flowers too. All you need to do to get started is look around and see what others have done.

Click through the Internet and flip through magazines and bridal books for ideas, appropriate wedding flowers, and typical arrangements. You will want to select wedding flowers that are your favorite, that complement the other wedding flowers placed within the ceremony, and those that blend well with the wedding's color scheme. If necessary, you may need to order your favorite wedding flowers ahead of time to ensure that they will be available when you want them. To make your bouquet large and blooming with life, you may need to request greenery and filler wedding flowers as well.

Of course after you have determined what kind of wedding flowers you want in your bouquet - and have located them - you will need to find something equally as beautiful to place them in! You can purchase a bouquet holder prepared to hold your wedding flowers with special flower foam. To insert your wedding flowers into your bouquet, remove its foam so that you can soak it in water. Soaking the foam in water will make it easier for you to insert your wedding flowers. Place the foam back into your bouquet holder and proceed to fill it with your greenery, filler, and wedding flowers respectively. Cut the stems of your wedding flowers as you rearrange them, add a little more of this, a little less of that...

When finished, wrap the bottom of the bouquet with a silk ribbon and add a bow that reinforces the color theme of the wedding. After the wedding, ask your local florist to point you toward specialists who can preserve your bouquet.
