When you plan to incorporate a variety of colors in your bridal bouquet, how can you be sure you'll get the right mix? It can be tricky, especially if you're using bright colors. Here's a tip for making it easy: Plan in percentages.
Start by giving your florist a list of the colors you want to use in your bouquet. Then assign each color a percent so your florist knows how much to include. For example, if you've chosen purple, green, yellow and white and you want purple and green to be the dominant colors, try this combination:
Purple = 40%
Green = 30%
Yellow = 20%
White = 10%
Have your florist use different flower types in varying shades of each color. The difference in hue will break up any bigger clusters of single color. The combination can always change. The idea is that using percentages to define your preferences makes it easy to communicate exactly what you want.
What a great tip and way to communicate to your florist how much of each color you want to use in your bouquet.
