Best Ways To Express Your Style Is Through Your Wedding Flowers

Your wedding is going to be the biggest party that you throw. It will be one of the most important days of your life, and you want it to be memorable for all who attend. It needs to be a well thought out event that speaks about the couple. This means many different things to different people, but one of the best ways to truly express your style is through your wedding flowers. Before you head off to the florist you need to sit down with your fiancee to discuss what you both want for your wedding. It is important that you remember that the wedding is about the two of you, and the design should incorporate both of your tastes. While you are having that discussion be sure to talk about what style on wedding flowers you both like, what colors you want your wedding to be centered around, and if there are any special blooms to the two of you that you want to have incorporated.

Additionally, be sure that you spend some time at your wedding location. Your needs will vary from location to location so do not try to design your floral scheme without having a solid location booked. Be sure to remember that you are going to need flowers for the bridal party, special guests, ceremony area, cocktail area if applicable, and the reception. You may find that certain locations require fewer blooms than others. In order to save money you want to choose a location that is inherently beautiful so that you do not have to add a significant amount of wedding flowers to create the atmosphere that you are looking for.

Some people don't know the importance of flowers for weddings. If one gives a thought to it, it will not be difficult to come to a point, where one will easily see that weddings are incomplete without flowers. They are essential for decorations, for a bride, for guests and also for many wedding rituals in certain cultures. In fact, without flowers, weddings in some cultures cannot be completed. The wedding day should be made special in all aspects and flowers have the potential to do so.

So, how can you use flowers for weddings? Well, flowers make your big day more cheerful, colorful, bright and memorable. They are an integral part of the wedding and they cannot be detached from your big day. Decoration is considered as the most important part of weddings. The right kind of flowers selected to adorn your wedding will not only make you or your partner happy, but will also impress those who have gathered to witness your union. So, how do you make them work for your special day?

Firstly, selecting the right kind of flowers is the most important aspect for floral decorations. Keep in mind the theme of your wedding and select the type of flowers you want. Completely opposite flowers can ruin the decoration. Hence, one should very careful while selecting flowers for decoration. There is a complete range of flowers for weddings and you can choose the right kind of flowers for your special day.

Next, you need to consider where the flowers should be coming from. Since the decorators would be contacting flower services, you need to make sure the florists involved in such dealings are reliable ones. Also, you need to be sure that those you choose should be fresh. If you want seasonal flowers for weddings, it won't do any good to have them out of cold storage. If you do not want fresh flowers for any reason, there are alternatives as well. Apart from fresh or seasonal ones to be more precise, artificial flowers can be used to decorate and grace your wedding day decorations. However, the ambiance and the grace fresh flowers bring upon is hard to achieve with artificial flowers.

One of the most important things you need to consider before getting them is the cost. They can be a risky business and they can be expensive, if rare or seasonal flowers are chosen. The best way to save money is to get them from a wholesaler. Usually, people leave it all to the decorators to look into such stuff, but these people end up with huge bills later on. You need to be involved with your wedding plans and decorations. Getting flowers from a wholesaler will reduce the entire cost building up on your wedding expenses. Reliable florists should be contacted for flower delivery and arrangements. Since your wedding is the biggest event in your life, you should be completely involved to make the day more memorable and most pleasant. Being involved with the arrangements will bring about the satisfaction you need with everything being perfectly planned.

Guide On How To Select Wedding Flowers For Every Season

When choosing your wedding date, there are many things you need to take into account. If you are one of those brides that has had your heart set on your wedding since you were a little girl, and that includes having your heart set in a certain kind of flower. Please make sure that you plan accordingly on the availability of your flowers. On the other hand, if you are that kind of bride that likes to take things as they come and are flexible, you will be fine with whichever flowers the season might bring during your wedding date.

Also, when choosing a wedding date, considering the season the colors for your wedding plays a huge part. If you have always dreamed of a purple, pink or pastel wedding, then you might want to choose any day in Spring. But if you are drawn into bright and strong colors, Summer will be best. For browns and earthy colors, the Fall season will provide you with the perfect floral colors. For deep reds, blues, whites and silvers chose Winter, it will complement your event.

As for colors, wedding flowers will complement your wedding décor in an extreme manner. To continue, I will provide you with a couple of ideas and mixtures for your centerpieces according to your wedding and the season that you chose.

With the hectic nature of planning a wedding, it's easy to forget about some of the details that make the day special. Choosing flowers can be an added pressure - especially if the task is left until the last minute. This is a brief guide on how to select flowers for each season of the year, with the intent of making the decision a little easier for the flustered couple.

Spring

Colour schemes for spring weddings are usually feminine and colourful, but perhaps not as bright as the colours seen during a summer or autumn occasion. The hues are traditionally more subdued - with subtle pinks, yellows, greens and blues all working very well.

Ranunculus, anemone, freesia are all common choices that work really well in a bouquet. However, the quintessential spring flower has to be the daffodil. In Britain, the appearance of daffodils marks the start of spring time, and therefore the flowers are often used to represent the start of a marriage.

Summer

There is a huge variety of traditional and exotic flowers available during the summer, which is ideal for those planning a wedding. There is a natural explosion of brightly coloured flowers that appear only in summertime, but the sheer volume of flowers can make the decision a tricky one.

Some of the flowers that are abundant during the summer months include roses, delphiniums, peonies and irises. There are some new varieties that are quickly becoming classics, such as the stunning 'Love-in-a-Mist' (also known as Nigella). This intricate, interleaved flowers allows for a completely new take on the floral bouquet.

Other classic summer garden flowers are also becoming popular for wedding bouquets and centre pieces such as sunflowers, hydrangeas, sweet peas and marigolds. These all work exceptionally well to brighten up any wedding and give it that summery ambiance.

Autumn

As the trees start to shed their leaves, there is a whole new colour palette to work with. Oranges, yellows and reds are definitely the quintessential colours of the season, but there is room for creativity in an arrangement, for instance using pine cones, berries and herbs for a hint of variety.

Flowers are still abundant in August, so the choices are plentiful. Mint, rosemary, ivy, rosehips, sages and geraniums are all in season at this time of year. The exotic looking Nerine plants are also just coming into bloom around this time and could be the perfect centre piece for a special occasion.

Winter

Despite the bare trees and cold weather, winter weddings are becoming more and more popular, due to the fantasy some couples have of the perfect, white, winter wedding. However, in winter flowers are in short supply - which has led to ever more innovative bouquets being produced by some very creative florists.

As usual, roses will suit the occasion - with white looking particularly stunning at this time of year. Colourful orchids can also look great when well balanced with neutral tones. But often, the centre piece will not contain a flower at all, but instead foliage. Holly, berries and vines add to the winter theme, and pussy willow can be an ideal alternative for any colourful flowers.

When it comes to choosing flowers for wedding bouquets, centre pieces, buttonholes etc. it is important to consider what time of year your wedding is taking place, as some flowers can be extremely expensive if not in season. It's all about balancing colour with plants that suit the time of year and theme of the wedding, in order to create a truly unforgettable day.
