Choosing Flowers for Your Wedding

Monochromatic Large Flowers

What it is: Three to five heads of large, single-hued flowers, such as hydrangeas (shown). Lilies, freesias, and gerbera daisies also work well because there's little color variation in the petals. Filler is minimal; lemon leaves provide just enough greenery. The simple arrangement is perfect against a frilly gown, which calls for an unfussy bouquet.
 
What to know: These bouquets are often cheaper than others, since the florist needs to purchase only one flower variety. Note: Steer clear of narcissi. Their oozing stems can ruin a dress.
