Wedding Flowers by Month or Season
When you know you're wedding date then you can start to look at the seasonal flowers for Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter and either choose seasonal flowers or ignore the season and create of Flower Theme based upon Exotic and Tropical Flowers. Use a colour guide to help you find the colours you prefer for your wedding flowers.
Wedding Budget for Flowers
Priority should be given to the wedding bouquet as the most important of all bridal flowers. Ideally your chosen bouquet should compliment your wedding dress. It will appear in most of your wedding photographs and will be the most remembered of all the floral creations. Once you have chosen the right bridal bouquet and have a good idea of your costs then it is easier to know your budget and ensure the remaining flowers can be designed within budget.
It is much easier to compromise on the size and cost of garlands and table decorations if you know you will be happy with the bouquet.
A reputable florist should offer un-biased advice on seasonal flowers and to get a combination of arrangements that suit your personality, wedding theme and cost within your budget.
Silk Flowers
Consider using silk flowers for some if not all of the wedding flowers. Some types are more expensive (per bloom) than their fresh equivalents. Often silk flowers are a similar price or even marginally cheaper and benefit from being long-lasting and can be made in advance rather than within 24 hours of your wedding. This gives you the luxury of time to make sure everything is just perfect and allow for any slight alterations. Silk flowers are also a great alternative for hay-fever and allergy sufferers.
Classic Wedding Bouquets
There are four recognised classical bouquet styles:
Hand-tied Posy for a Contemporary Wedding Style
Loosely-tied short-stemmed flowers, often roses or calla lilies, simply tied with a ribbon. This is a popular choice for brides wanting a contemporary style for their wedding.
Free-style Wedding Bouquet
Loosely-tied long-stemmed flowers creating a more informal look. They can help create a sense of intimacy.
Teardrop Bouquet
Considered by most as The Classic Wedding Bouquet and is most often used for church weddings. It is worth experimenting with this style as it sometimes proves unflattering.
Formal Posy for Bride and Bridesmaids
Creating a rounded ball of tightly packed flowers, such as roses. Often selected by brides choosing a full style wedding dress and wanting the bridesmaids to carry a smaller and simpler bouquet of similar style.
