Go Wild with a Simple Wedding Bouquet

Wedding Favors Ideas - 
Flowers make quite an impact in a wedding, both visually and in the pocketbook as well. For the average wedding, did you know that $1,000-$2,000 of the budget is flowers? Keep in mind that these flowers will eventually die within a few days and you will have nothing left to show for it except for the wedding pictures. Why not go for a simple wedding bouquet as well as simple flower arrangements instead?

Wildflowers are Simply Wonderful

Unless you are having a traditional, conforming, classic wedding, consider wildflowers for a simple wedding bouquet. Except for the cold winter months, wildflowers are abundant and come in a variety of colors, sizes, shapes and textures. If you are planning your wedding months in advance, you can even grow your own in anticipation of the big day!

Depending on where you live, there are actual wildflower farms where you can choose your own flowers. Often times, you pay a flat rate depending on how much you cut and the growers can even help you color coordinate and offer filler suggestions to create your simple wedding bouquet.

Monochromatic Colors are Clean and Simple

Sometimes, a simple wedding bouquet means that the flowers are all one color to create clean lines with little fussiness. In this case, many brides go for a tight circle of roses in their favorite color with the stems bound and wrapped in ribbon. This idea also is lovely with tulips, calla lilies and tuberoses.

White flowers are popular for a monochromatic simple wedding bouquet however; pink and yellow are great options as well. Of course, one of the most striking yet simple wedding bouquets incorporates shades of one particular color. Pink is perhaps one of the best representations of this idea as you can choose from the palest pink all the way to a deep fuchsia.

Faking It

One way to keep things simple and budget-friendly is to go with high quality silk flowers as they will stay beautiful virtually forever. This simple wedding bouquet made from silk flowers means that you can make it at any time you wish and even have the option to change your mind at the last minute. Silk flowers are versatile and easy to manipulate into a simple wedding bouquet of your choosing. Plus, you would not have to go to the extra expense of paying for someone to preserve your wedding flowers!

Of course, every bride is going to have a different interpretation of what a simple wedding bouquet is because budgets and tastes will be vastly different. The bottom line is that you are pleased with your choice of a simple wedding bouquet for your special day.
