Tips for Incorporating Baby's Breath into Bridal Bouquets
Here are some points to take into consideration when you are using baby's breath in bridal bouquets:
Balance the proportions: When using baby's breath in a bridal bouquet, it is important to balance the proportions of the small flowers with the larger blooms. Too much baby's breath can make the bouquet look too delicate, while too little can make it look incomplete.
Choose the right shade of baby's breath: Baby's breath comes in a variety of shades, from pure white to ivory to light green. The shade of baby's breath you choose should complement the other colors in your bouquet and your wedding dress.
Consider the texture of baby's breath: Baby's breath has a slightly fuzzy texture, which can add visual interest to a bouquet. However, if you prefer a smoother look, you can carefully trim the fuzzy edges of the flowers.
Use baby's breath as a filler flower: Baby's breath is a versatile filler flower that can be used with a variety of other flowers, such as roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and orchids. It can also be used with greenery, such as eucalyptus and ferns.
Keep your bouquet fresh: Baby's breath is a relatively durable flower, but it will still need to be kept fresh to look its best on your wedding day. Be sure to store your bouquet in a cool, dark place and to mist it with water regularly.
