I have to agree that Kate Middleton is indeed so charming that she nearly could have held a bouquet of weeds and still been beautiful! (But a gorgeous bouquet sure doesn’t hurt!)

Gina,
Thank you for a well written and interesting article. Ms. Middleton’s bouquet was stunning. The simple, but breath taking Lily of the Valley bouquet only added to Ms. Middleton’s charm. Thank you for sharing this information with us.

Sally:
You make an excellent point. And this, of course, is where the talent of your florist becomes critical. Brides need to discuss their desires with their florist and let the florist guide them on how to choose flowers that fit within their budget–especially once you add in the florist’s well-deserved fees that are necessary for creating this type of labor-intensive designs. Choosing a flower that naturally resembles the look of a variety such as Lily of the Valley can help keep costs affordable.

The one thing you didn’t bring up was how labor intensive the royal bouquet was. While Lily of the Valley in season from a local grower may not be overly expensive, the blooms in Ms Middleton’s bouquet were hand wired to create this look. Hand wiring small, delicate blossoms is incredibly labor intensive and makes this bouquet quite expensive. The overall look of simplicity can be deceptive when it comes to cost.
