Flower arranging or ikebana in Japanese, is a modern art form that helps may the wedding flowers special for the auspicious day. It encourages the harmony of form and color in each wedding piece. A talented florist or wedding designer can help consult a bride in something that is new, beautiful, and appropriate for her style. A memorable flower arrangement must be tasteful and of course, have a unified theme with the wedding itself. It shouldn’t be too gaudy, large, or contain flowers that could have a detrimental effect on the overall mood of the wedding. The flowers should be tailored to the bride and groom, and though they are not a necessity for every wedding, they do set a happy mood for the beginning of the happy couple’s life together.
Each flower arrangement has its own personality and style. Think of them as notes in the harmony of the wedding. They can’t be too big or too gauche unless the wedding is large and the style is ostentatious.

Antique roses or English garden flowers have a more romantic feel, while snapdragons and tiger lilies will make a wedding flower arrangement more youthful and vivacious. Nature has given the future bride an infinite palette to choose from, and making that choice should mean something to the bride and groom and the joy they have in each other.
