One of the most beautiful of the bride's adornments at a wedding is the bouquet.
Normally constructed of fresh flowers, the wedding bouquet would last for a week or two, and then have to be dried or tossed.
Today that is not the case; today's modern bride has options that are more permanent.There are various bridal books, magazines and shops to help you choose the perfect style and color.
The arrangement you select should be a reflection of your personality and/or the color scheme of your wedding.A growing popularity in wedding flowers is silk flowers.
Silk flowers are non-allergenic, will never wilt and can be kept as a remembrance of your special day for years to come.
Another advantage over silk flowers is their cost and durability. Another option for the wedding bouquets is stunning handmade porcelain flowers.
Porcelain and silk flowers are available in traditional styles.
With a seemingly unlimited array of colors, these amazing creations last a lifetime.
Many come with a display stand included in the purchase price, so your wedding bouquet now has become an exquisite family heirloom.As you plan your special day, consider the option of a porcelain handmade bouquet.
The cost is a bit higher, yet the memories of your ceremony will be with you forever.
In addition, your wedding bouquet will be with you as well, a permanent reminder of your love for each other..

Silk dupioni is produced from 2 silkworms that spin a cocoon together, thus making a strong double-thread silk. Dupioni silk is currently enjoying great popularity.
The finest quality silk is made by the mulberry silk moth, which feeds on mulberry leaves. The average cocoon contains 300-400 meters of silk. It takes about 5500 silkworms to produce approximately 2 pounds of raw silk! Cocoons are still dipped in hot water to loosen the tightly woven filaments that make up a silkworm's cocoon.

Here are some ways to give that arch a touch of your wedding's unique flavor.
The Balloon Arch: Don't forget this dramatic, pearly alternative to the wood or metal arch.
A determined bride (or family member) can definitely do this herself; helium isn't even required if you use PVC or can suspend microfilament from the ceiling. Just keep in mind it's best to build the arch the day of the wedding, and essential to build it within hours...
