Bead Flowers Gives Advice on Wedding Bouquets
London, England (ContentDesk) December 3, 2005 -- Any bride knows that her bouquet is as much a crucial part of her outfit as her dress. Having the right bouquet will add the perfect finishing touch to your look. Traditionally, the big decisions focused on colour, variety of flower and size and shape of bouquet. Now, there is another factor to consider the question of fresh or faux flowers. Increasing numbers of brides are choosing to use faux flowers in their bouquet.
Faux flowers now look as realistic as their fresh counterparts and they offer a number of advantages. There is no need to be restricted to flowers that are in season all flowers are available year round. Of course, if you are feeling particularly creative, you can even play around with colours why not include blue roses? Many people suffer allergies to pollen and there is nothing worse than walking up the aisle feeling like you are about to sneeze! On the subject of pollen, no bride wants pollen stains on her wedding dress and with faux flowers this will not be a problem. Finally, more and more couples are choosing to get married abroad and it simply is not feasible to carry fresh flowers overseas. Of course, faux flowers do not smell or provide that special tradition, but they will last forever.Once you have decided which type of flower to use, it is important to remember that there is more than one type of faux flower.
Silk flowers are the obvious choice, but there is a more innovative and very beautiful alternative emerging at weddings in the United States. Beaded Flowers are a work of art in themselves and offer all the benefits of faux flowers mentioned above. Beaded flowers have been going in and out of fashion for centuries. They are made from glass beads and are thought to have emerged in Medieval Venice. The wives of the artisans who manufactured glass, used the beads that their husbands produced to develop a beautiful craft.
Known as French Beading, this traditional craft uses thousands of minute glass beads to create three-dimensional flowers that look as real as fresh flowers. Interest in beaded flowers has waxed and waned since that time they were extremely popular in the Victorian era, underwent a small resurgence in the 1960s and are now coming back into fashion today.If you are interested in finding out more about beaded flowers or in commissioning your own beaded flower bouquet, visit Bead Flowers at www.beadflowers.co.uk or phone +44 (0)7740 706 484.About Bead Flowers:Bead Flowers is based in England and offers a range of individually designed flowers, jewellery and gifts, all handcrafted from top quality glass beads, using traditional beading techniques.

Silk Wedding Flowers
When brides choose their wedding flowers, one question they must ask themselves is: do I want real flowers, or silk?
Traditional brides always go for real flowers. Their delicate beauty can never be duplicated by artificial flowers. The mesmerizing scent of roses or lilies is a far cry from the artificially scented silk flowers. Scent is often associated with feelings or memories and a wedding is an emotional and memorable experience. And that is where real flowers score over silk ones.
Real flowers have their disadvantages, too.
The main disadvantage with real flowers is their longevity. They wilt away very fast. Brides who want to preserve their wedding bouquets often settle for silk flowers. Moreover, brides who want exotic or out-of-season wedding flowers often opt for silk flowers because they are much more readily available and affordable. Silk flowers are also popular with brides who are allergic to real ones.
No bride wants to be red-eyed...

Winter Wedding Flowers
When planning a winter wedding, like weddings in any other season, personal preference plays a huge part. The main thing is to focus on the mood that is to be created. Even though fewer weddings are held in winter, that does not mean that the bride is faced with a limited choice. Traditional wedding flowers, including roses, lilies, orchids and daisies, are available throughout the year. Some brides follow the longstanding tradition of an all-white bouquet, symbolizing purity.
Others pick their favorite or base their choices on availability, color scheme or what the flower represents-roses represent love and happiness, daisies innocence, gardenias joy.
A winter wedding flower can be any type of flower that highlights the warm tones of the festivals set against the snow-white backdrop. Christmas and Valentine's Day are the major holidays during this time. Traditionally, Christmas brides often choose red or burgundy flowers like roses, carnations, calla lilies with...

Flowers Speak Too
It is traditional and stylish to "say it with flowers." You can send flowers to say welcome; I am sorry; I love you; and many more.
Beautifully arranged and fragrant flowers can brighten up a person's day. World over, flowers have been in use since ancient times to decorate palaces and homes, in rituals, during spring dances, as a part of weddings, and more.
Flowers are not selected randomly, over the years they have developed meanings. For example, the acacia means concealed love, chaste love or beauty; the aster symbolizes both love and daintiness; a pink carnation means says I will never forget you; while the yellow says rejection or disappointment; the tulip says you have sunshine in your smile.
Then of course there are "birthday" flowers. Those born in February have the primrose and violet as birth flowers; while the larkspur and water lily are birth flowers for those born in July; and the holly, narcissus, and poinsettia are flowers for birthdays...

Flowers, An Annual Event
Are you a natural when it comes to gardening?
Do you simply wish your rose bush to bloom, and presto, roses appear?
Well, if you are a green thumb, congratulations.
As for me, it is an effort of biblical proportion, to get even the grass to grow.
I would hazard a guess, and estimate that the remaining 90% of the general population share this problem.
If flowers were so easy, we wouldn't need florists and landscapers.
Flowers are without a doubt a gift from the gods.
They surround us with beauty, remind us that some color in our lives can bring happiness to our drab surroundings, and often are a subtle reminder of that special moment we don't want to forget.
What about the basics of flowers?
Do we really know that much about the science of flowers, what makes them so appealing, so colorful, and so sweet smelling?
Flowers are the reproductive organs for the plants that support...
