Tip of the Day: Make your MOH feel special on your wedding day by designing a bouquet for her that’s different from your bridesmaids’ bouquets. You can include a few of the special blooms that will be in your own bridal bouquet, as the only one of your ladies carrying that type of flower, or give her bouquet handle a little bit of bling…just like yours has, and again, different from the bridesmaids’ flowers. Attaching brooches to bouquet handles is a pretty way to dress up a bouquet, and your MOH can reuse the brooch after the wedding day!
