Selecting Suitable Wedding Floral Arrangements

By Catherine Perry


Weddings are supposed to be days filled with joy and celebration. In order to make sure this day goes off without a hitch, all the details need to be properly planned and looked at, so as to avoid last minute confusion. Getting the proper wedding floral arrangements can be a bit tricky, but after considering a number of factors, you will be able to come up with the perfect bouquets.

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.

Identifying a good florist might be difficult, especially if you have never been involved in anything that requires the booking of a bouquet. Use referrals, to help you get someone who is efficient and also qualified. On getting a list of these professionals, set up meetings with them to see photos of their previous jobs, and also to make sure that you click.

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.

Flowers are just like other plants and you will find that specific types, do better in certain seasons. Before you decide which specific flowers you want, find out whether they are possible to find during that specific season. Since you cannot postponed the wedding because the flowers are not in bloom, the florist will offer you other options which will give a similar effect as the ones you wanted.

The price for the floral arrangements should be included in the budget itself, although it should not take up too much money. If you do not include it, you will end up viewing it as an added expense and may end up with arrangements, which do not really make you happy. When talking to your florist, you can get quotations for different arrangements before you settle on one.

Apart from floral arrangements, you also need other decorations in order to make the venue look nice. This may include candles if the wedding will go till evening, decorative lights and the linens for the table and chairs. If you are lucky, you might find an expert who can provide all these. Make sure to visit the venue beforehand with the florist. This is mainly because the room itself, its lighting and design, can influence the type of arrangements.

After you pick out the specific bouquets, you will need to choose a centerpiece. This can be bunch of flowers, or can even be something unrelated. It should be made to fit in with the theme of the day. For example for an ocean front wedding, you may opt to use nautical rope, or miniature boats as your center pieces. To give the bouquet a special touch, you can customize it by adding something personal. This may be a present like a brooch.
