Flowers
Flowers are an important component of your wedding. They set the atmosphere and are often a focal point as they add beauty and fragrance to any occasion including engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal meals and of course weddings.
Before Your Wedding
Before starting your search for your wedding florist/floral designer, you need to choose the time of year for your wedding
- Choose the time of day for your wedding
- Choose your wedding theme and colours
- Decide if your wedding will be casual or formal
- Secure both your ceremony and reception sites
- Shop for you flower and decorations specialists as early as possible and give them a general idea of what you want. Leave the actual details for 1 to 2 months before the wedding.
Whether yours is a simple at home wedding, a lavish black tie affair or any wedding style in between, you need flowers that are arranged in good taste and coordinate well with all other components of both marriage ceremony and wedding reception.
Check both your ceremony and reception sites to find out if flowers are included in their wedding package, if they have specific in house floral specialists and decorators they work with, and what their policies regarding flowers and wedding decorations are.
Arrange with the management of those that allow you to choose a professional, a specific time slot for the flowers and decorations to be placed. Request that the flowers and decoration professionals confirm a few days before your wedding.
Saving Money
Find out if yours is the only wedding on the date you chose. If not, you may be able to save by coordinating flower arrangements with the preceding or following wedding party and splitting the costs.
Other money saving ideas include:
- Using your ceremony flowers and decorations at the reception
- Asking the bridesmaids to place their bouquets as centrepieces (they can not carry them throughout the reception and they will take them home anyway)
- Choosing seasonal flowers that are common and plentiful in your geographical region
- Decorating with purchased or rented potted plants, shrubs and trees in your geographical region
- Utilising a floral design or interior decorating school in your area.
Which and how many of the following arrangements will you need?
- Altar and aisle arrangements for the ceremony site
- Reception table centrepieces
- Guest book table
- Cake table
- Decorations and centrepieces for the reception site
- Bridal bouquets
- Boutonnieres for the fathers and for the male attendants
- Corsages for the mothers
- Head dress for the flower girl
- Garlands
- Flowers or petals for the flower basket.
