Attach small fresh flowers to the top strap of your shoes. If you’ll wear a short skirt or one with a dramatic slit up the side, a little showing of flower on your strappy heels will make something even more special out of your flash of a little leg. Attach a cluster of fresh flowers to your purse or handbag. Of course, you can use silk flowers for this as a lasting keep-sake, but this is an option if you want to carry your floral touches out to your accessories. Attach a cluster of fresh flowers as well to your “gift purse,” or the embellished oversized satin bag where you and your groom will place any envelope gifts handed to you by your guests.

Get a look at the amazing types of flowers out there by stopping at an arboretum, an extensively stocked nursery, or a flower show, and take some notes on unique flowers that might be perfect for your wedding day look and colors.

Go with the colors of the season. Deep oranges and yellows, cinnamon colors, and burgundies are perfect for a fall wedding, for instance, while those bright reds are ideal for the winter holidays.

Go with all color! Forget the all-white bouquet. Today’s brides are walking down the aisle holding bright red bouquets, deep purples, blush pinks, soft blues, bright and sunny yellows, and autumn oranges.
