There are many options when selecting your flowers for your wedding. Flowers have been used for years in weddings to symbolize purity & beauty. Wedding flowers have gone from simple hand made arrangements to larger than life bouquets that fit every mood & theme. Deciding on your flowers may take a lot of time and creativity, so be patient. Talking to a florist for guidance & suggestions will help smooth over the process. Try to narrow down your pick at least three months prior to your big day.
Then make a date to sit down with your florist & finalize all the details so you're both are on the same page. When you meet with your floral designer be sure to bring the colors and fabrics of your bridesmaid's dresses. You may even want to bring pictures of the styles you want to work with along with specific flowers. If you need advice on which flowers will last & look the best make sure to ask your floral specialist.
Designing Your Beautiful Wedding Bouquet
The first thing to consider is your bridal bouquet. All the secondary floral arrangements will be taken from the bridal bouquet. This gives you a chance to bring your style & creativity to the stage. Next you will need to consider the ceremony flowers. If you're having your ceremony in a church, remember to check with them on any restrictions. If you're working with a budget it may be a good idea to use the same flowers at the ceremony & reception. If you are deciding on reception flowers keep in mind there are many different ways you can go. You can use elegant vases filled with fresh cut flowers (candelabras, topiaries) or simple flowers scattered around candles.
Keep in mind that the arrangement shouldn't interfere with guests communicating. If your budget allows try to add a few touches of flowers around the serving areas. Garland & flowers along the front of the buffet tables adds a warm touch also. Tell your florist about your ideas so they can help you create a "WOW" factor.
Find a floral designer that resembles you. They should have the same style & taste you have. Florists vary by the type of wedding day services they provide. Know what you're looking for ahead of time & what is provided. Here are some helpful hints to get you started:
- Can you work with my floral budget?
- Do you rent or own the supplies I need?
- Who sets up at the ceremony & reception site?
- What packages do you offer? What is included?
- Do you provide additional kinds of decorating options?
- Do you provide artificial, edible, or fresh flowers for my cake?
- How far in advance do I need to book your services?
- What is your cancellation policy?
- The deposit required? If so how much? Is the deposit refundable if I cancel?
- Do you deliver the flowers? If so, what is the delivery charge?
With all this taken into consideration you will be on your way to a beautiful memorable wedding that will be talked about for years to come.
