Ready-made topiary for a wedding, a solemn ceremony and an evening with guests should be chosen based on the characteristics of the holiday, paying special attention to the color scheme, as well as the external filling. Some brides may prefer organza topiary with birds and hearts, while others will want opulent orchids in the trees.

When choosing or ordering a topiary, it is important to take into account the age of the newlyweds, national traditions and the place of the celebration.

Vases or flower pots can be neutral in color, they can be easily painted with a special paint, or wrapped with a satin ribbon. In general, here the imagination can not be limited.

As for fabrics, you should not save money when choosing them. If there is a desire to make organza topiary, it is better to buy a floral one, it keeps its shape perfectly.
