For economical and esthetic reasons some brides are replacing wedding flowers BMs bouquets with corsages. Brides Maids bouquets are usually made in resemblance of the bride’s bouquet but smaller. The colors are usually the same but the brides go with just one of the wedding flowers. For example if the wedding is decorated with wholesale roses, mini callas, and hydrangeas, the bride may use the minicallas as the bouquet and the bridesmaids may use a small bouquet with roses and probably one or two stems of minicallas to follow the wedding theme.

When ordering wholesale flowers for the wedding, brides must take into consideration the number of stems for the bride’s maid’s bouquets or the corsages.

For the corsages its very usual to use wholesale roses, spray roses, or minicallas with ivy green of a small piece of leather leaf.

Another alternative is to go with either a single bloom or a tiny cluster of three blooms for the bride’s maid.

There are may alternatives on how to do the right corsages or BMs bouquets, simply the bride should follow the colors of the wedding and try to use wholesale flowers that matches them and fit their budget.

This debate has been taking place for a long time now and its whether to use fresh cut wholesale flowers or artificial flowers (nowadays called permanents) as wedding flowers. When working with fresh wholesale flowers the bride is able to choose real colors, plus the shapes of the flowers are by themselves a beautiful accent to any centerpiece or bouquet. When having fresh cut wedding flowers you can also have fragrances and different textures that you can never get with permanents. The opening of a rose, the natural blooming of any other flower it’s never going to be imitated with silk flowers.

Silk flowers, on the other hand, gives the change to the bride of keeping the flowers of the wedding forever. Price wise permanents can be more expensive than fresh cut wholesale flowers and arranging them it’s not as easy and instinctive as with naturals.

Fresh cut Wedding flowers are always a favorite among the brides and when talking about permanents there is also the fact that not all the natural varieties or colors are available in silk. Spray roses, color hydrangeas, cymbidium orchids and many more.

Either with permanent or fresh cut wholesale wedding flowers arrangements, the wedding always needs a decoration according to the budget and the need of the bride and grrom.
