When starting to organize a wedding, one of the questions that the bride and groom always have is what type of floral decoration to choose, since there is a wide range of flowers and colors. In addition, we all agree that flowers are a must have at a wedding as they dress every corner of it, from the bride's bouquet to the entrance to the church, the altar, the chairs, the corner of welcome, the center of the table and a long etcetera.
They must go in accordance with the rest of the elements of the wedding, therefore, the couple must first choose the style, color range and theme they want for their wedding. Once the choice is made, you have to choose between preserved flowers, widely used for boho-chic style weddings, or cut flowers, used in most weddings as they easily adapt to different styles.
