How To Choose The Best Autumn Wedding Bouquets


There are of course a number of things any wedding planner must do when planning the perfect celebration, but finding the right autumn wedding bouquet is one of the most important parts of any fall wedding.

As autumn weddings become more and more popular, more and more wedding planners are looking for wedding bouquets that include the most beautiful and fragrant fall blossoms.

Ensure That You Get the Best Selection Of Flowers

There are certainly many such fragrant fall blossoms to choose from, and it is important for those in search of a great autumn wedding bouquet to shop carefully, and to shop as early as possible.

Shopping early is one of the best ways to ensure the best selection of fall flowers, and shopping around is one of the best ways to ensure that you get the best deal.

Understanding All Of Your Options

It is important to carefully look at all the options when it comes to shopping for the best and most cost effective autumn wedding bouquets.

For instance, in some cases the florist you choose to provide flowers for the wedding reception and church will include a number of autumn wedding bouquets at no additional charge, while in other cases each autumn wedding bouquet will be at an additional price.

It is important to get a detailed list of which flowers are included and which will be extra, and to get everything in writing.

Using One Or More Florist To Do The Job

In some cases additional floral arrangements such as centerpieces and wedding bouquets will be included in the price of the flowers, so it is important to find out this information before going forward.

If the price of the autumn wedding bouquet is not included, the next step should be to determine whether you want the same florist to handle the bouquets, the centerpieces and the rest of the flowers.

Some wedding planners enjoy the simplicity of having all the flowers done by the same florist, while others prefer to spread the work across several different florists. No matter what your choice, it is important to shop early, and to carefully consider not only price but quality as well.

How To Make A Bouquet Completely Out Of Candy


There are lots of different types of candy bouquets you can make. One way is to make a normal bouquet out of flowers, and then add candy afterwards. Another type of candy bouquet is one made JUST out of candy.

In this article, I will show you how to make a candy bouquet without using any flowers. Although there won't be any flowers, I will still add some leaves and ribbons to add some variety.

You will need:
- 1 box of roses chocolates.
- 7 chuppa chupps.
- 1 packet of wrapped toffee candy.
- 1 bunch of thick gauge wire for the chuppa chupps.
- 1 bunch of thin gauge wire for the chocolates.
- 1 roll of white ribbon
- 9 silk rose leaves

Step 1: Wiring and Taping...

Wire and tape all the chocolates, lollipops, toffees and leaves.

Step 2: Add the lollipops to the bouquet...

Hold the wired and taped chocolates and toffees in one hand.

Place the wired and taped lollipops around the outside of the chocolates.

Because the lollipops are on a stronger wire this will help the candy bouquet hold it's shape.

Step 3: Prepare Figure-of-Eight bows...

Next make up nine figure of eight bows out of ribbon.

These will be arranged around the outside of the candy bouquet to help frame it.

Step 4: Add leaves...

At this point you can add your leaves throughout the bouquet. This puts something between the pieces of candy, and helps to soften the candy bouquet.

You can also make up some ribbon loops, and place them in between the candy as well.

Step 5: Add the Figure-of-Eight bows...

Place a small piece of stem tape up near the top of the candy bouquet to hold everything together.

Then add your figure of eight bows around the outside to frame the bouquet.

Step 6: Finishing Touches...

If you wish you can add some trailer ribbons to the candy bouquet.

Finally, trim your wires and do your final taping of the handle.

There you have it!

A bouquet completely made out of candy.

What a yummy idea.

This bouquet would make a lovely gift and children will love it, particularly because they can eat it!

Red Rose Bouquets

A bouquet of red roses can overwhelm anyone. Its overpowering presence and fragrance can consume people, and can compel them to give the sender a second look. Red rose bouquets have the desired effect when a single red rose is just not adequate to communicate what is usually much more than just liking. That's probably why people like to send red roses when they want to apologize for being hurtful, offensive.

People often wonder what it is about red a rose bouquet that has such a dramatic effect on the recipient that even if they are hurting, they smile instantly and feel better. In fact, they are almost disarmed and become receptive to the sender even if the sender has annoyed them or hurt them beyond their tolerance level. The answer lies in the fact that receiving a red rose bouquet is an exhilarating experience. It makes the recipient feel precious as it is the ultimate expression of giving someone attention, and feels like the perfect compliment. The receiver feels as beautiful as the bouquet, as important and as loved. That's why brides love to carry red roses to the altar.

There is, however, a subtle difference between the impact of a rose bouquet received in private and one that is received in public. For instance, when a red rose bouquet is received by a spouse at the workplace, the spouse may feel really special because the public display of love will lead to greater approval and respect from colleagues. At the same time, a bouquet of red roses before a candle-lit dinner in a private dining room can also make a spouse feel rather loved.

Red rose bouquets not only bring joy, but also alleviate pain. Sending one to a friend who has just been through a painful break-up, or a parent who is unwell, or a sibling who has not been able to manage good grades, can work like a healing touch. It makes loved ones feel that there is someone to share their pain with and they are not alone in their sadness. This healing touch is particularly helpful when the sender is unable to be present physically because of work constraints, or some other unavoidable limitations. Red rose bouquets also help when an important date needs to be cancelled at the last minute because of some other exigency and the sender wants to communicate genuine regret at not being able to make it. Similarly, the red rose bouquet helps senders apologize for forgetting anniversaries and birthdays without meaning to. The red rose bouquet always says much more than words.

Tips For Choosing Beautiful Fall Wedding Bouquets


There are many important things that must be taken care of when planning a wedding, and the fall wedding bouquets are among the most important of all wedding items.

The right wedding bouquet is one of the most important parts of planning any wedding, and it is important to give the choice of bouquets the care and time that it so richly deserves.

Deciding Where To Buy Your Fall Wedding Bouquets

There are of course many important decisions to make when seeking out the perfect fall wedding bouquets, but one of the first decisions to make is where to get those bouquets.

Some wedding planners prefer the ease and simplicity of ordering the wedding bouquets and centerpieces from the same florist who provides the rest of the wedding flowers.

Checking To Make Sure Everything You Want Is Included In Your Floral Packages

At other times it may be more effective and easier to order the fall wedding bouquets from a separate wedding florist.

The key is to look at the florist you have chosen to provide the floral displays for the church and reception hall, and determine whether the bouquets and centerpieces they can provide will be of the same high quality.

In some cases the bouquets and centerpieces may even be included in this price, so it is important to find out this important information before shopping elsewhere for the bouquets and centerpieces.

Making Sure The Colors Are Complimentary

If you must order the centerpieces and fall wedding bouquets separately, it is important to get a color sample from the floral display in order to make sure that the colors of the bouquet will match the colors of the rest of the floral displays.

It is important to provide complimentary colors to all the bouquets, and it is also important to be sure that the florist you choose can provide the highest quality and most beautiful blooms in town.
