When it comes to what's appropriate and what's not in wedding flowers, you should definitely take a look Martha Stewart's web site (www.marthastewart.com) . The so-called high priestess of high priestess of "all that's tasteful, chic and "good," is largely responsible for many of today's bridal trends.
"Brides come in with pictures of the flowers they want," says Brad Higginson, a florist speaking on behalf of ASF, a North American florist's association. "Often, it's the blown rose in muted colors. That's the trend."
Stewart's website is full of exquisite pictures of bouquet arrangements with ideas ranging from an old-fashioned red-rose bouquet to a heart wreath. It's definitely worth the click.
For brides who are interested in knowing what flowers are appropriate for each season, you should check out her Seasonal Flower Chart. Martha's staff has divided the list by regions in the United State. For example, summer brides in the Eastern part of the US might choose an Asiatic lily or black-eyed Susan to feature in their bouquet.
