Wedding season is in full swing! Beautiful churches and many
other venues are filled with people witnessing the marriage between two
lovebirds. There are many elements that make a wedding beautiful, but one of my
favorite décor pieces are the flowers.
Some of the most important advice I can give is to try and
shop for flowers in season. If you don’t know much about flowers, call a local
florist, or do some research online.
Just like certain colors are best in certain seasons,
specific flowers not only grow during particular months, they look best in
season. For this summer season, you will be seeing a lot of roses, sunflowers, gerbera
daisies, peonies and many others. Now, a lot of flowers can come in any
color you want. There are also flowers that have a similar look that can be a
huge difference in price. If there is a specific flower you want and it is not
in season for your wedding day, by all means, get the flowers you want! Just
know that you will be paying a lot more for them.
There are a few options when it comes to buying and
arranging flowers; florist, wholesale or DIY. Here is a short breakdown of
each:
If you need more help with picking out flowers to match your
theme, how to arrange them, or just have a ton of questions, I would recommend
contacting a florist. Local florists, depending on your location, can be an
affordable experience with consultation. They all have packages to help guide
you in the right direction. Orlando Florists even uses floral app to make
browsing and shopping easier.
Wholesale flowers can be quite beneficial if you are using a
whole bunch of flowers in your ceremony, reception and for the entire bridal
party. Sites like fiftyflowers.com have pages for wedding flowers and
arrangements. They also have packages that can be designed specifically for your
own wedding. They do have live support if you have any questions. Everything is
well organized and you can search by color and season as well. It is definitely
something to look into if you are on a budget and need a lot of flowers!
DIY can be tricky if you don’t know much about flowers or
how to put together arrangements. However, if you have a great eye for detail
and know you can make your arrangements great by yourself, then it is another
great option. This works best if you only need a few flower arrangements or
flowers for the bridal party. It can be very stressful if you have a lot of
arrangements to make on top of all of the other duties that have to be done
before the wedding. Don’t take on too much!!
Choose the option
that makes you feel the most comfortable. And always remember to ask for help
if you need it! Brides should not feel stressed about the planning of their
wedding. It should be a happy and exciting time for you! If you have any other
questions or want to know more details about flowers and arrangements, please
feel free to send me a message!
