The traditional tossing of rice
Instead of rice, consider using rose petals, for your flower girl or tabletop decorations. Multi-colored, freeze- dried petals look and feel fresh and add a touch of invidivuality.

Just as wedding gown fashions are becoming increasingly elegant and simple, bridal bouquets seem to be following the trend. Small, tightly-knit bouquets compliment a simple a-line dresses, while a large cascade of roses is more fitting to a bride wearing tulle.  Back to Index

In addition to the bridal bouquet, flowers should be coordinated for the following:

• The wedding party
• Bridesmaids
• Attendants
• Ringbearers
• Grandfathers
• Ministers
• Mothers of bride/groom
• Altar Arrangements
• Church Pews
• Tables for Guest Registries
• Tables for Gifts
• Tables for Wedding/Groom Cakes
