No matter what type of wedding you are planning, whether
it is going to be a big fancy formal affair or a simple
informal one, it will almost certainly involve flowers.
When you combine the beauty and fragrance of flowers with
natural light, candles and soft, tinted electric lighting,
the effect can be breath taking. To set a romantic scene
for the wedding match the ribbons, flowers and lights in
warm or pastel shades to complement or match your color
scheme.
If you are going to need a lot of flowers give your florist
plenty of notice so that he can free up time to get your
order ready .How do you decide the amount of flowers that
you will need? Make yet another list. Who needs flowers?
The Bride, Maid of Honor, Bridesmaid, Flower Girl, mothers
of the bride and groom, boutonnieres for the Groom, ushers,
Fathers of the bride and Groom, grandparents of both the
bride and groom. That’s a lot of flowers, but wait there
are more> You will want flowers for the church, and for
the tables at the reception.
When you visit the florist for the first time bring pictures
of your dress, the bridesmaids dresses, and the dresses
both mothers will be wearing. Also bring the grooms tux
if it is any other color but black or white, so that the
colors of flowers and ribbons wont clash with anyone’s clothes.
A good florist will help you choose the perfect flowers
to go with your styles and colors.
You may want to ask him to make you a small additional
bouquet to throw, so you can have your bouquet preserved.
Bring pictures of bouquets and arrangements, from magazines
that you like so that he can understand your preferences
and style. You will save money if you stick with seasonal
flowers because it can cost a lot of money and time if the
florist has to special order your flowers. There will also
be an extra charge for shipping.
Sometimes, when a parent, sibling or grandparent of either
the bride or groom, has passed away within the past year,
the couple will stop at the cemetery on the way to the reception
and place a single flower on the grave. Do this only if
it will not be too stressful for you or your new husband.
If a member of the immediate family is in a local hospital,
brides and grooms often stop there on the way to the reception
to let the patient know they are loved and missed.
Before ordering flowers for the ceremony, check with the
church and see if there are size restrictions. Flowers for
the reception should complement or match the flowers you
and the bridesmaids will be carrying. What do you do with
all of the beautiful arrangements on the tables, after the
wedding. Some couples have a drawings for each table, to
decide who gets to take the arrangements home. Others donate
them to a nursing home., or women’s shelter to share their
happiness, in a small way, with others. Did you know that
in ancient times brides carried fresh flowers to mask the
smell of people who didn’t bathe on a regular basis.
