Wow! After this long read what will be your choice of flowers to make a bouquet?
I personally suggest a dash of some relaxing therapeutic essential oils like lavender, rose, frankincense or birch or a blend of a great synergy , (best done by an aromatherapist, stating you oil preference) on a  brides bouquet, seem like the closest object during the wedding ceremony
While enjoying a life time ceremony, you’ve got a wonderful energy and emotional booster and happy secret .
I’m in love with cala lilies…. so gorgeous!
They are unique
