2. Using foliage
If you want to bring some extra depth to your wedding bouquet, why not include some nice fresh green leaves, ferns, twigs or sprigs.

They can be expertly placed surrounding the bouquet, or combined throughout, either way, they bring an all important feeling of nature and the vibrant green can offset any colour palate to stand out a bit more. Meanwhile, it is also a good way to keep your wedding flowers affordable with your budget!
3. Cascading (waterfall) bouquet
A bouquet fit for a queen, you have to be comfortable with flowers holding this one. A waterfall bouquet is definitely a statement and can often be the centrepiece of the walk down the aisle. It can compliment your dress if you have a long train to echo the cascading features of the flowers, or you can even use it with a simpler style of dress, and keep it a focal point to show off your entire wedding. Either way, they are a stunning piece of floral arrangement to enjoy.
