- Successful color combinations

A wedding is a joyful event in the life of every girl. The tradition of giving the bride a bright, beautiful bouquet came to Russia from Western Europe and was firmly entrenched in Russian culture. But this bouquet does not have to be white at all. There are other, more interesting options, for example, the color of fresh mint.
A mint-colored bridal bouquet is perfect for a newlywed of any age, with any skin and hair type.
The main advantage of this color is that it also matches any holiday dress.
For example, this version of the bouquet will look great in combination with a dress:
- classic snow-white;
- pink;
- champagne splash colors;

For the floral arrangement, you can use roses, orchids, hydrangeas, as well as branches of fresh mint (artificial or real). But it should be borne in mind that peppermint is a plant that has a very specific odor and can cause allergies , so it is better to stick with the artificial version. The shape of the bouquet can be spherical or vertically oriented, in the form of a rod or scepter. Artificially bred greenish roses will look beautiful as part of the composition (they can be pre-ordered at a flower shop). The number of colors can be any, depending on the specifics of the composition. The superstition that an even number of flowers is not suitable for a holiday has long since sunk into oblivion.

Decor options
A bride's bouquet in mint tones will look especially picturesque if you decorate it correctly.
Typically, artificial flowers and branches, as well as satin ribbons, are used to decorate wedding compositions.
But you can approach this issue more creatively and use the following materials to design the finished composition:
- small beads and large beads;
- a transparent mesh, reminiscent of a veil, made of golden or silver fabric;
- small soft toys;
- small items made of precious and semi-precious metals (for example, a brooch in the shape of a bee or butterfly, which is attached to an artificial flower).
If it is difficult to choose living plants with a menthol tint, you can add calm green colors to a bright bouquet of roses or orchids using artificial branches. These can be dummies imitating mint, fern or rose branches with thorns. When decorating a bouquet with satin ribbons and products made from them, for example, flowers, you must first singe the ends of the ribbons so that they do not fall off , since satin is not the most durable material.
