DIY wedding bouquets

My fiance's mother and I plan on hitting the wholesale flowers market on Friday to buy the blooms and form our own bouquets that will revolve around the bridesmaids' dress colour and the wedding colour theme. Although the thought is scary it does sound fun however I hope we won't be too stressed out by assuming too much work upon ourselves instead of outsourcing.

A wedding flower magazine had the following breakdown for colour schemes that sounds useful:

MONOCHROMATIC
One hue in varying tints, tones and shades

ANALOGOUS
Colours alongside each other on the colour wheel

TRIADIC
Colours that are three equidistant colours apart on the colour wheel

COMPLEMENTARY
Two colours that are directly opposite one another on the colour wheel

SPLIT COMPLEMENTARY
A hue from one side of the colour wheel and the two colours that lie on either side of its direct opposite

TETRADIC
Two sets of complentary colours

PRIMAR COLOURS
Red, yellow and blue

SECONDARY COLOURS
Created by mixing equal parts of two primary colours

TERTIARY COLOURS
Created by mixing equal parts of a primary colour and secondary colour
