There are many wedding traditions that date back to medieval times and there are some are likely to be around until the end of time. While we are seeing more and more unique and personalized weddings, some customized and themed to a crazy degree, many of the ancient wedding traditions are still part of the mix. One of the most common wedding traditions is the hand bouquet. Of course, a hand bouquet can also be customized and personalized quite a bit.

The shoulder is one of the most common places to display the bouquet style of hand bouquet. Jewel Encrusted Bouquet As if flowers weren't enough of an eye catcher, many brides are having their bouquets encrusted with shiny and gorgeous jewels. These jewels often play off the color the flowers themselves. While some people like to have the jewels add contrast to the flowers, complementary colors remain popular because they're more subtle, leaving the focal point on the wedding dress. Stem Dressing The stem of a flower is always the least appealing part, but it doesn't have to be. You can add another stylish element to your wedding bouquet by dressing the stem and making it match the color scheme of your dress and the other frills on your wedding bouquet. Whether you're dressing them up with a small ribbon, a bit of colored paper or fancy fabrics, make your stems shine with some sort of special embellishment.
