A
professional florist will suggest unusual and beautiful designs for your wedding bouquet
and floral arrangements while offering a reasonable price range.
Six months is not too early to select your florist, especially if you’re planning an
elaborate wedding.
Selecting your gown, the bridesmaids’ dresses and overall color theme is important
before visiting a florist. Take fabric swatches and descriptions (pictures are better) of
your selected wedding apparel.
It is always a good idea to request that a florist give you an itemized bill in advance.
Make sure that you supply the florist with the names, addresses and times for delivery of
your wedding bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages and any floral arrangements.
The bridal bouquet is usually composed of all white flowers but, if you would prefer,
additions of any |
colorful blossoms is certainly appropriate.
The groom’s boutonniere, worn on his left lapel, is usually a spray of the same type
of blossoms used in your wedding bouquet. The grooms men and ushers wear boutonnieres
different from the groom’s, your attendants’ flowers and your bridal bouquet.
If you use silk flowers they are also a beautiful alternative to fresh flowers.
Most manufacturers produce most any type of blossom or plant in fiber form. These
exquisite imitators bloom forever.
A number of other floral pieces will be needed for your wedding, including displays for
the altar, centerpieces, or reception tables, sprays for candelabra, corsages for the
assistants with various reception duties, and flowers for special guests.
Ask your florist for advice. |
