The most important thing is to find a florist you are comfortable with and be very upfront with what you are looking for as far as the budget, the venue and the general feel of the event. Florists are not mind readers and being as clear as possible will help them do their job and help make your wedding flower dreams come true![/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”The Bride, Bridesmaids’ and Flower Girl’s Flowers” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:left|color:%237f7f7f” google_fonts=”font_family:Dosis%3A200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]According to Tradition, the parents of the bride purchase the bridesmaids’ bouquets and flower girl’s flowers and the groom purchases the bride’s bouquet as a gift. The maid of honor might have a slightly larger bouquet than the other bridesmaids to set her apart. However, wedding traditions are slowly fading, so  don’t feel like you absolutely must do it this way. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row font_color=”#0a0a0a”][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”The Groom and Groomsmen Boutonnieres

Again, the best man’s boutonniere can be a bit more intricate than the other groomsmen, to set him apart, but, not as fancy as the groom’s. The boutonnieres should be pinned on the left side, as it is closest to the heart with the stem facing down over a button hole (but, not in the button hole!). For the same reason, corsages are worn on the left during a wedding, whether they are wrist or pin corsages.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”3133″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1407168374752{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”3/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1407168394806{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony and Reception Flowers
