Flowers Add to the Joy and Beauty 
by Sally Manglicmot

Flowers are beautiful -- no matter what! Imagine how much more beautiful your flowers will be with a well thought-out plan and a great florist. If you have a limited budget, choose lower-cost but bright and colorful selections. If you have an unlimited budget, place flowers anywhere and everywhere possible for a stunning effect.

The Millennium bride and groom want bold, colorful flowers—yellows, oranges, reds, bright blues and pinks— and every bright color in-between (no more pastels)—perfect for Spring and Summer. Fall and Winter colors include rich, dark purples and reds surrounded by hardy leaves and berries with a velvet ribbon on the stem. The bride prefers the just-picked look made popular by Martha Stewart. The bouquet is held at the stem (and the stem is showing) and tied with ribbon and tiny pearls. The bouquet can contain one type of flower which can look very stunning, or a mixed bouquet. The more traditional look (popular for at least the last 30 years) is the cascading bouquet. The flowers are arranged in a large circle and draped in the shape of a triangle or waterfall look.

There is so much to know about flowers!
