The first consideration when planning your bridal flowers is always colour, colour, colour! Colour – its shade or tone – also sets the mood and feel of the wedding.  A good example of this is the difference between ‘soft blue’ or ‘rich sapphire blue’; both are blue but will give you a totally different look and feel.  The variety and type of flower are always second to colour.
