(ARA) - The number seven is associated with luck and many couples
across the country, including celebrities like Eva Longoria and Tony
Parker, are taking advantage and planning to wed on the luckiest day
of the year -- 07-07-07. Aside from choosing the right date, flowers
are considered to be one of the most important elements of your
wedding day. Whether you are planning an elaborate affair or prefer to
keep things simple, Laura Milder, ProFlowers designer and floral
expert, offers tips on choosing the perfect flowers for your special
day.

Pick your palette -- Say goodbye to muted tones and pastels, 2007 is
all about bright colors making bold statements. For those planning to
wed this summer, yellow and pinks are expected to be the hot colors of
the season. Big, bold yellow sunflowers radiate warmth and tranquility
and are the perfect addition to any garden wedding. Romantic roses
tied with bold ribbons and pearls, are both sophisticated and
timeless, and beautifully compliment any style of wedding gown.

Eco-conscious -- It's a nice day for a green wedding. If you and your
partner are rigorous about recycling and want to plan a wedding that
reflects your environmentally friendly lifestyle, there are a ton of
options to choose from. Creating centerpieces with organically grown
flowers or potted orchid plants add that extra "green" element to
wedding receptions. Edible flowers on your wedding cake not only look
beautiful; they also add an eco-friendly touch.

Brides on a budget -- If you find yourself wilting from the stress of
those ever-tightening purse strings and don't want to spend a fortune
on flowers, forget the personal florist. From wedding bouquets and
boutonnieres to creative centerpieces, online flower companies like
ProFlowers, offer a number of stylish selections for the budget-
conscious bride. Choosing flowers that are in season are automatically
cheaper than out of season or exotic flowers.

Wedding tails -- Man's best friend is enjoying a new high profile when
it comes to exchanging vow-wows. Originally adopted as a west coast
trend, more and more people are including their favorite four-legged
friends in their wedding ceremony. Adorn your pooch with a pretty
floral dog collar or boutonniere to really tie them into the theme of
your wedding.
