Selecting Suitable Wedding Floral Arrangements

By Catherine Perry


Weddings are supposed to be days filled with joy and celebration. In order to make sure this day goes off without a hitch, all the details need to be properly planned and looked at, so as to avoid last minute confusion. Getting the proper wedding floral arrangements can be a bit tricky, but after considering a number of factors, you will be able to come up with the perfect bouquets.

Before you start making other major arrangements, one thing you normally settle on is the color scheme. This will be determined by what you and your spouse wear. The colors and designs of the dresses for you and your bridesmaids, will largely determine which colors of flowers you will get. The design will also determine the complexity of the bouquet.

After this stage you can start looking for a florist. If you do not have someone already picked out, you will need references to find someone good. This can be sourced from your wedding planner, or from friends or relatives who have gotten married before you. After you identify a number of professionals, you can peek at their website to see some of their work, then book an appointment to determine who you will choose.

One thing they will advise you to do, is to pick flowers that not only go with your choice of colors, but which also suits your personality and personal taste. This will mean looking at your wardrobe, and observing what you normally wear. If you dress in dull colors all the time, a bouquet of bright yellows and reds might throw you off a bit.

Different flowers are available during different seasons, although a few of them like roses and hydrangeas, can be found almost all year round. In this regard, therefore, before you choose the bunch of flowers, you want you need to consider the season where the wedding will fall. After identifying this, your florist will be able to tell you what will be available and you can make your choice.

Considering that these flowers are one highlight of the wedding, make sure to include them in the budget, right up there with the food. This will make sure you allocate them enough money. Once you decide how much you want to spend, talk to the florist in order to see which flowers will be used.

It would be wise to ask the florist if they provide other decorations, like the table linens and candles. If they do, you might find that getting all these services from one person, will earn you a discount. You are also assured that the colors will blend, because they already know the details of the colour scheme.

As the bride, the bouquet you will carry will be slightly different from the rest. You can choose to add your own touch, by including something of your own, like a monogrammed handkerchief. You can also choose to do something different when it comes to the centerpiece, like arranging a pile of your favorite books, or using different sizes and colors of candles.
