Autumn brides have always been a curious bunch, and especially interested in the types of flowers that should grace their bouquets (since ultra-traditional choices, like roses in white, pink or red, don’t seem quite right).

That easy-going, nature-loving feel is popular in fall wedding bouquets. Historically that’s meant seasonally-appropriate, casual blooms like zinnias, Gerbers, astilbe - often accompanied by non-floral touches like berries, twigs and maple leaves.

But what’s happening now is that fall brides (and a larger proportion of all brides) are starting to wonder something else, too: not just what to put on their bouquets, but how to cut back on their costs. Here’s why.

Do I really need to send out Save the Date Cards?  If so, how early do I send them out?  What is the purpose of sending out Save the Date Cards?

Save the Date Cards announce to all your family and friends the date of your wedding and simply ask them to reserve that day especially for you.  They can be very useful for guests that will be having to travel long distances to attend the wedding.  If someone is coming from out of the country,  making needed arrangements early can save them a great deal of money on their traveling expenses.  Also Save the Date Cards can be very helpful for a destination wedding.  Giving early notice to all who plan to attend gives them the opportunity to request vacation from their employer and helps them save them a substantial amount of money on their travel expenses.

As the fates would have it, I agreed and gave our wedding my full attention and partook in all aspects of planning our wedding.  Ironically meeting with all the different vendors and even wedding officiants was anything but boring.

Being a man I had always imagined that if and when I got engaged to be married I would have little to worry about in the way of wedding plans and things of that nature.   Perhaps I was being a bit chauvinistic in my assumption that brides took care of and addressed all plans and problems surrounding the wedding.  In truth all I ever wanted at my wedding was an open bar and some good rock n roll.  I cared very little about anything beyond those two must haves.

The bridal bouquet is one of the main accessories of the bride on her wedding day. It is important to choose a bouquet that will complement her from top to toe and something that will not look out of place instead!

If you go to your wedding florist, they will usually show you a catalogue for some ideas. There are so many types of flowers and bouquet styles to select from, so how do you know what you should look out for?

Asking yourself these few questions may help though!

1) What’s your body size?
