Picking Out The Perfect Wedding Floral Arrangements

By Catherine Perry


The day you get married is one of the most important days of your life. This definitely means that it needs to be spectacular. In order to achieve this result, you need to plan every detail properly and meticulously. This will be everything from the venue and the food, to the wedding floral arrangements. This will be part of the decorations, which make your special day a highlight.

In most cases, your color scheme will be determined by the colors you and your spouse like. This will then be transferred to the clothes and the linens used. This same theme should flow to the flowers, to make sure the arrangements do not clash with everything else. The design of the dresses will also determine whether you get a large bunch or a simple 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.

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.

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.
