When it comes to bridal bouquets, the most reliable combination of colours is tone-on-tone. A tone-on-tone bouquet can easily match with different skin tones as it usually covers a range of shades of a chosen colour. Try mix matching between darks with lights and you will be surprised how new the look can become.

Above:Very clean and crisp. A tied bunch of white tulips can look a lot simpler than it actually is. Collared with phalaenopsis orchids and accented with staphanotis florets, this bouquet speaks the language of understaed elegance. Since tulips are sensitive to heat and light, they are best to be used in indoor during hot sumemers. When used right, tulips are wonderful.
