Choosing Flowers for Your Wedding

Wildflowers

What it is: A variety of types, colors, and textures of cultivated wildflowers―such as blue mountain thistle, miniature dianthus, heather, sedum, lisianthus, celosia, and eucalyptus (shown)―grouped together to appear randomly picked and gathered. Perfect for a casual affair, the bouquets are often wrapped with patterned or plaid ribbon.
 
What to know: It may seem like a DIY option, but it's tough to get this look right, so leave it to a pro. Still, if you're undaunted, harvest flowers the day before and let them soak up water overnight.
