How To Use A White Rose Wedding Bouquet
Roses are the most popular wedding flowers. They engulf
the feeling of romance and just seeing them makes us
think of love. Many brides are choosing to use roses in
their wedding bouquets. For a dramatic look, consider
the white rose wedding bouquet. White roses offer a more
unique twist to the traditional red rose bouquet, while
keeping with the rose theme. This bouquet works well in
both day and evening weddings. A white rose bouquet is
the perfect accessory for an elegant bride.
A true white rose is difficult to find. Unless they have
been colored or bleached most white roses end up looking
ivory. So, brides who are choosing to use the white rose
wedding bouquet may choose to use ivory in their wedding
instead of bright white. Ivory roses are beautiful and
very fragrant. Brides with floral allergies may want to
choose a flower with a more subtle scent. The scent of a
rose is calming and sweet. Brides will love smelling the
rose scent as they walk down the aisle.
Brides can use white rose wedding bouquets for several
reasons. The first reason is if the bride is not wearing
a traditional white or ivory gown, then she might want
to choose an all white rose bouquet for a more dramatic
effect. A white bouquet looks lovely up against color.
It is a particularly good choice if the dress is gold or
silver.
Another reason a bride might use a white rose wedding
bouquet is if her dress is white or ivory but it has
colorful detail that she wants to be the focus. If the
dress and the bouquet are both colorful and distracting,
guests will be torn between what to look at.
If the bride is wearing all white or ivory but still
wants to use the white rose wedding bouquet, she can do
so to create a look of innocence. White is an innocent
color and white flowers help create that feeling.
Therefore, a bride all in white who carries white is
representing her youth and innocence before marriage.
If you are using real roses, then you need to take
caution with them, for they will wilt and change color
easily if not properly hydrated. Make sure the florist
is using the freshest roses available. When the roses
arrive to the ceremony location, make sure you keep them
soaking in a vase of water in between pictures before
the ceremony. This will keep them looking beautiful and
fresh throughout the day. Pictures and pre-ceremony
activities can last for hours, and can be rough on a
fresh cut bouquet. After the ceremony you shouldn't
worry about their condition of course, unless you are
taking them to be preserved.
Brides choose the white rose wedding bouquet for
different reasons. They all end up happy with their
choice however; as the white rose wedding bouquet is a
simply beautiful addition to any wedding ceremony.
