Choosing Ideal Wedding Floral Arrangements

By Catherine Perry


There are some days that you will remember more than others. These may be specific birthdays, weddings, or even anniversaries. In order to make these days memorable, there needs to be efficient planning beforehand. Your wedding floral arrangements, are part of what makes the day memorable, because they add color and cheer to the venue.

Before you go to the florist, make sure you have already decided the specific color scheme you will use. This will mean that you will have chosen the color for the bridesmaid dresses, as well as the clothes you and your partner will wear. It also helps if you have an idea, even though faint, of which flowers you want.

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.

The specific bouquet you pick should suit your personality. Therefore if you like bright colors and like flashy statements, you can take a colorful bunch of flowers. On the other hand, if you like things a bit low key, you should choose to go with a simpler design. You also need to consider your physical size. Petite people should get smaller bouquets, in order not to look overwhelmed by the flowers.

Consider the season. If you are having a summer or spring wedding, then your choice will be very broad. However, if your wedding falls in either fall or winter, the choice may be limited to flowers like roses, calla lilies, hydrangeas and some types of orchids. You should also think about the venue you are using. This will be in terms of ceiling height, the colors in the room, the lighting.

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.

Sometimes you might find that the florist you hired, also offers other services. This might include renting out additional decorations like linens, lights candles among others. Getting someone who offers all these services, makes life easier for you. You might also find that the price may be lower if you get everything from one person.

When talking about the center piece, you can even choose to use something other than flowers. In case you are big on reading novels, you can have a stack of old volumes placed as the centerpiece. You can also choose to personalize the bouquets, using something that has sentimental value to you. This will make you love the arrangements even more.
