You know it’s time to think about your wedding flowers, but you are completely out of ideas where to start. All your energies have been directed toward getting the church, setting a date and time and getting the wedding invitations ordered. You forgot to think about wedding flowers. Now what?
You are certainly not alone. Relax. There are a lot of brides who find themselves flummoxed when it comes to the wedding flowers. Actually, there are a lot of brides who know absolutely nothing about flowers at all. What their names are, what color they are, when they are in season…nothing.
You can be assured there are people everywhere to help you. There are some tips that will help you coordinate your flowers so that you will end up with that gorgeous display of flowers that you have had in your head, but didn’t have a clue how to achieve.
Let’s start with thinking about the location of your wedding. Get the colors of the chapel and the carpeting in your mind. Many a wedding was not quite right because the wedding flowers clashed with the carpeting around the altar. If you can’t remember, go back over and write them down so you won’t forget.
Search out someone among your friends who never fails to grow the most beautiful flowers in summer. While every one else is struggling daily to keep their flowers alive, there is always one who excels at it. Call her. Ask her advice about colors. Perhaps she can recommend flowers that will be in season from which you choose.
Talk to some of your friends who have had do choose their wedding flowers. People who have been through the process can save you a lot of time making bad decisions. Ask them what the pitfalls are. Educate yourself. You will feel better about your decision in the end.
You can go on the Internet and wander around. There are sites that are incredibly useless because they only show the bouquet or something. There are others that explain the process that you will go through with the florist. Others tell you what flowers are in bloom in what season.
Ask your mother or grandmother. As you can see, there are ideas everywhere. Everyone will help. They all know you want your wedding to be beautiful, and they want that for you as well. Help is everywhere.
No matter what, you definitely need to be talking to your florist. They are the professionals in the field, and they have earned that right. Find one or two and make appointments. Ask for ideas. Ask to see photos of what they have done in the past.
By the time you are done, you will have formed an idea in your head of what you want. All you have to do is be able to explain it to the florist so she understands it. The next thing you know you will be looking at your altar as you walk down the aisle, and you will tingle.
