Rose Wedding Bouquet

When you think of a wedding, the first thing that comes to mind is the beautiful blushing bride, all dressed in white carrying a bouquet of roses. Wait a minute! What if the bouquet consisted of withering or yellowing flowers that have been arranged sloppily and are almost ready to fall apart? When it comes to weddings, people are willing to spend a fortune on attire, and they tighten the purse strings when it comes to flowers. But the floral arrangements and the bouquet the bride carries have great importance. Many brides are willing to leave the choice of their wedding bouquet in the hands of the florist. An intelligent bride will select a bouquet that complements her gown and reflects her personal taste.

Traditional wedding bouquets were always white. But, today brides are going for dramatic bouquets with vivid flowers of different colors and sizes. Rose wedding bouquets are still the No.1 choice among brides. The avant-garde confections of today show various concoctions of bouquets that do not add to the beauty of the bride. But the good old rose wedding bouquet does just that. Be it the bridesmaids, the flower girls or the bride herself, carrying a bouquet of roses is a statement in itself. This of course is in no less measure due to the sheer beauty of the flower. Whatever be the shade or size, bud or flower, the rose continues to reign as the 'queen of flowers'. The rose wedding bouquet manages to look trendy while the flowers signify a meaning that is steeped in tradition. This is the greatest significance of the rose wedding bouquets. Roses have been imbued with various meanings and connotations since the Victorian age. These nuances have found their way quietly but firmly into the human psyche. There can be no doubt in anyone's mind that red roses stand for love. It is this automatic association with emotions that roses manage to evoke that makes for their increased popularity.

Roses can look trendy in any setting. This is another reason why they are still numero-uno when it comes to the wedding bouquet. Since the heightened popularity of this blossom has ensured that flowers of almost any size and any color are available at just about any time of the year, the only limiting factor is the imagination. Tie various roses into a tight nosegay bouquet and they look stunning. If roses are allowed to stand for themselves and proclaim their elegance in a cascading bouquet or the contemporary bouquet, the flowers manage to please the eye and warm the heart. The rose wedding bouquet is indeed as versatile and as flexible as the imagination of the florist. There are just no limits to the possibilities of the beauty of the flower.

A while ago, it was common for bouquets to have all flowers of the same color and possibly the same type too. But today, the favorite seems to be mixed arrangements. The bouquet may be made of several varieties but all flowers will be of the same range of colors. The rose wedding bouquet finds itself a winner in this aspect too. Since it is easy to find roses of different shades and different sizes, putting them all together to form a common theme is easy. The all-year availability of the flower also makes a rose wedding bouquet extremely popular. Roses are very hardy flowers. They have a fairly long shelf life and can stay fresh for about 7-10 days if care is taken. This is another great advantage of the rose wedding bouquet. If you keep the rose bouquet in a floral preservative, give the stems enough fresh water and carefully shield it from extremes of temperature, your rose wedding bouquet will easily stay alive for 10 days or more.
