Flowers hold an integral part when it comes to the wedding style and theme you want to have and it is important to choose the right professionals that will deliver exactly what you have in mind and dream of. Thus, be patient, come up with good ideas and start researching for your wedding’s flower decorations, starting from the bouquet all the way through to the centrepieces of the tables.
BUDGET
The key is to set the budget you can afford for the wedding decoration, the bouquet, the decoration of the car, as well as the reception, in advance. In this way, the professionals’ suggestions and proposals will be more specific.
PERSONAL CONTACT
The first move to make is to visit florists and discuss with the experts the colours you want to be dominant at your wedding, the style and colour of your wedding dress and listen to their suggestions and advice.
SAMPLES
Ask them to show you samples of their work and by the first visit you’ll know whether you can trust them with your wedding or not.
IDEAS
Entrust the florist or wedding planners you have chosen. Share your ideas, suggestions and the style you want for your wedding, as well as what you do not want and what you do not like and give them the freedom to make the best possible proposals.
WHEN & WHERE
Make sure to be clear with the date, time and place the wedding and reception will take place and inform them in time about any changes that may occur. Arrange the financial aspects of the cooperation in advance.
DURABILITY
Before you choose the colour and type of flower, which will decorate the church and the reception area, as well as your bouquet, ask professional florists if the flowers of your choice will remain fresh during the season your wedding will take place.
MATCHING FLOWERS
Consider your wedding flowers as part of decoration and not just as a centrepiece for the tables of the reception. Take a look at the surroundings and choose flowers and decor that will complement and highlight your wedding venue.
PRACTICALITY
Use the same flowers and arrangements to decorate both the church and reception.
FLEXIBILITY
Be open and flexible when it comes to making choices. Gardenias might have been the flower you have always imagined for your wedding, but if the wedding is held in summer you should be open to the suggestions that your florist will make. The result will certainly be better than what you’ve imagined.
COLOUR
Do not be afraid to use more than one colour when it comes to the wedding flowers. Although monochrome weddings are usually chic, they are not that impressive. Stick to a basic colour when decorating the wedding venue and add touches of one or two colours and highlight your flowers.
FRAGRANCE
Avoid flowers that exude a strong fragrance. If you want to decorate your guests’ tables with flowers like gardenias and freesias, use just a few so that they give out a mild fragrance. Additionally, do not combine more than one flower with strong fragrances because guests will not appreciate it at all.
ORDER
Most flowers are imported from abroad. This means that you must place your order well in advance to make sure that you will not have to make last-minute changes to the wedding décor simply because there has been a delay.
DURABILITY
Before you choose the colour and type of flower, which will decorate the church and the reception area, as well as your bouquet, ask professional florists if the flowers of your choice will remain fresh during the season your wedding will take place.
