Weddings are a special event. Certainly, the couple would like the event to create warm memories for everyone that is involved. One way to create a really customized and memorable wedding is with flowers. However, this is one step that is very involved and could make or break the wedding. The fact is that there are thousands of flowers to choose. This makes the selection even more difficult. A lot of couples stress over the type of flowers that they should select for the wedding as much as they do for the wedding photographer. However, we’ve provided a few tips here.
Select A Budget
Don’t start your search for the perfect bunch of flowers or a wedding bouquet without selecting a budget. The budget will clearly define the limits and the type of flowers that you can consider. Don’t get your heart set on flowers that cost $10,000, when your budget is only for about $3,000 dollars worth of blooms.
Conservative Approach
Don’t go wild, trying to impress the people at the ceremony. Instead, stay on the conservative side. Be highly selective about the bouquet. Place flowers at important places in the wedding. Perhaps, an outstanding bouquet for the bride, a few exquisite looking center pieces, and colorful flowers at entryways. Think outside of the box to save expenses. Match high quality flowers with some less expensive finds.
Compliment Your Wardrobe
Take a look at your wedding dress. This should help to inspire your flower selection. If the lines of your wedding dress are simple, yet elegant, select flowers with the same theme. If your dress is a romantic Victorian era inspired gown, select romantic summer flowers that create that same mood.
Seasonal Approach
Don’t select flowers that are not in season. Are you having a wedding in the spring? Well, select flowers that bloom in the spring. For example, daffodils, iris, tulips, hyacinths, lilacs. Selecting out of season flowers might hurt your budget and cause you to spend much more money than you expected.
Get Creative
Don’t have a lot of money to spend on the flower budget? Well, don’t give up. Get creative. Spend money on some very exquisite looking flowers that are in season. Go to any crafting store, or even the dollar store and buy fake flowers. For example, you have a rose bouquet. Mix in a few fake roses. It should be very difficult to tell the fakes from the real thing. Another approach is to pick a few wild flowers out of the garden and arrange them in elegant vases around the venue. There’s something very elegant and unique about selecting flowers in bloom straight from your garden.
Follow these ideas to select the best flowers for your wedding. Make sure that your wedding photographer captures the beauty of the flowers with plenty of candid shots to preserve the memory of the day and those wonderful flowers.
