D. Cohesiveness

One thing is for sure to make the most of your bridal parties flowers they should all have a cohesive element to them By this I mean a color in common, a style in common or an element or type of flower in common. Some people use other ideas besides flowers such as feathers or even buttons or other creative ideas. This is a good place to be creative but just keep in mind the over all look when your party is photographed because a photo is a memory for a life time.
