Accents to Use
Dress up your bouquets and
centerpieces with winter accents such as:
Choosing Colors
Be careful when choosing white, red
or green flowers and leaves/accessories. Take a small swatch of fabric of your
bride's and bridesmaid's dresses to the florist. These 3 colors come in varying
shades and you'll want to get your flowers and leaves to match or at least
compliment your attire. Whites come in shades varying from brilliant pure white
to ivory. And as we all know, reds can be hard to match up.

Dress up your tables with beautiful
centerpieces. These arrangements can also be used to create bridal bouquets as
well.

associated to all types of flowers over the centuries. A white rose doesn't have
the same meaning as a red rose, so colors are also an important part in learning
the meaning of a certain type of flower. To read more about the meaning of
