It is a smaller part of the whole ‘wedding flower project’ that sets the tone for all your decorations including isle markers, centrepieces, and boutonnieres. These arrangements won’t be exact replicas of your bouquet but should use the same flowers, colours, and textures in order to create a cohesive look.
