Choosing wedding flowers is such an important part of the wedding. There are some things to be aware of when you are ready to decide on your wedding flowers.
Since your flowers are an essential part of the wedding you should begin by preparing a budget. When you have a budget in place you will have a very good idea of what the flowers are going to cost.
If you haven’t already decided on a florist you may want to ask the advice of family and friends. Pay close attention to the recommendations of those who have recently been married. The newly married will be able to offer you good advice.
Figure out how many arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages that you will need. Take this information with you any time you talk to a florist about the wedding flowers.
Before you decide on your wedding flowers, talk to your florist. You might want to bring pictures of bouquets and arrangements that you like. Also, bring pictures of your dress and the bridesmaid’s dresses. All these things will be instrumental in assuring the most beautiful wedding flowers possible.
Make sure you have samples of the colors you plan to use at the wedding. This will be very helpful in choosing the colors of the flowers.
You might want to ask the florist for some photos of wedding flowers they have designed. Many florists keep a book of wedding flower photos exactly for this purpose.
Talk to your florist about using flowers that match the style of your wedding. If you are having a casual wedding you may want to use different flowers than if you are planning a traditional wedding.
You also might want to consider using wedding flowers that are specific to your region and to the season in which you are getting married.
This will not only keep the cost down but you will not have to worry about the flowers being available.
Choose your wedding flowers carefully and they will be a wonderful part and set the tone of your wedding.
