MAKE THE SILK WEDDING FLOWER DECISION FOR MUCH MORE CHOICE

How does one ever know which items should be matched and those not, when planning your wedding if the groom has a heather buttonhole should the best man have a thistle buttonhole? We say yes, match the dads and children’s buttonholes too. The brides bouquet, bridesmaids posies and children’s posies, hoops, flowerball, wands and baskets should all link in with the main theme, the grooms buttonhole should always have a flower from the brides bouquet (See the traditions page to understand why) Mother of the brides corsage needs to be extra special with pearls and glitz, this can match either her outfit or her daughters theme but should always be the best corsage among the family ladies and guests

When it comes to table decoration, favours, hire packages these should all tie in with theme and/or colour, cake-tops too are a personal choice whether you have the tiny bride & groom cake-top or thistle cake-top the choice of cake decoration is immense but should at least match in some area, even if it is tartan ribbon this can be put round the cake boards and or the cake to take in the clan choice of the grooms kilt

Another grey area is whether to supply a buttonhole and/or ladies corsage for every guest, when one can purchase a nice colour co-ordinated economy rose, plain for male and a bit of ribbon added for ladies my answer would always be yes. Rose and thistle buttonholes are fab for family members and the bridal party and can easily tie in with the flower packages and sale items always available at a much reduced price.

And lets not forget the brides favourites her tiara should sparkle and suit her face shape her bridesmaids can easily wear a simple hair comb, it is not necessary for them to wear a tiara too, perhaps try some diamonte’ jewellery for adults and children. Remember the tartan garter and tartan decorated horseshoe it would be awe inspiring if both of these items matched the grooms kilt

Remember the silver sixpence the brides father should give her before the day begins (See traditions page for the lovely story)
