HOW TO CHOOSE A PERFECT WEDDING FLOWERS

Do you know your ranunculus from your roses? Did you know that the color marigold represents jealousy? Do you really need some assistance with the flowers for your wedding? 

Q. What should you take into account first? 

monetary plan. Determine in advance how much you want to spend, then tell your florist. Make a list of the flowers that are "must haves" and "good to haves," such as "flowers for the bridal party" and "flowers that would be wonderful to have for every table." This prevents disappointment later on and enables the florist to make prudent kind and quantity decisions.

Q. How significant is the wedding's theme? 

Very. For instance, gerbera bouquets great for sleek, contemporary weddings but not for vintage or "shabby chic" themes. For weddings with a vintage theme, gypsophelia, peonies, David Austin roses, and carnations are much better options. 

Q. Exist any flowers that have unique meanings? 

Lily of the valley, or convallaria, is Latin for purity and sweetness. Stephanotis refers to marital bliss. A bride is leaving one life behind to start a new one with her husband, and the sweet pea represents departure. The rose, a symbol of passion and love, is the most popular wedding flower. Marigolds are bad luck; they symbolize harshness, grief, and jealousy.

Q. How do the flowers you choose impact your wedding dress? 

The bridal bouquet is the ultimate wedding accessory and ought to enhance rather than detract from the gown. A basic yet exquisite column dress looks lovely with a single lily stem, whereas a full, intricate garment complements a greater bouquet of mixed flowers. As a general rule, the wider the dress, the bigger the bouquet. Regarding color, contrasting green leaves with white that matches your outfit might appear lovely. Colors like peach, orange, and pink are gorgeous options for off-white dresses. Moreover, you should choose how you want your bridal bouquet to appear in your wedding photos; while all-white or ivory bouquets are gorgeous, they won't pop out as forcefully against a white or ivory wedding gown.

Q. Do your flowers need to match the color scheme? 

I suggest brides to experiment with the color scheme's tints and tones because it's artistic and classy. Color blocking with reds, oranges, purples, and pinks will create a color-cocktail explosion on the day if you want to be brave. Blues are quite difficult to spot; for example, until you are right up to the flowers in a church, you won't notice the blue/purple detail in them.

Q. How can you make your bouquet unique? 

Use blooms that are meaningful to both the bride and the groom; the Duchess of Cambridge used Sweet Williams in her bouquet. Include family members as well. If your mother is an ardent gardener, add her newly cut flowers. If you have a brooch that was handed down from your grandma, connect it to the ribbon on your bouquet.

Q. What benefits can silk flowers offer? 

The days of plastic dew drop roses in gaudy colors are over; today's fake flowers are so botanically accurate that it's difficult to tell them apart. They're ideal for people who get hay fever, and you can buy them well in advance so there are no surprises on the big day. They can be stored indefinitely and are simple to carry, even if silk is only slightly more expensive than fresh.

Q. What should the difference be between the flowers for your church/civil service and the reception? 

As the church or ceremonial venue is often huge, you can choose flowers with larger heads. In order to tie everything together, many brides place flowers from the bridal bouquet on the ends of the seats.

Q. After the occasion, what should you do with your flowers? 

If artificial flowers are stored in acid-free tissue in a box away from strong odors and direct sunshine, they never expire, wilt, or fade. If you'd want to recuperate some of your expenses, you might choose to sell your fake flowers after the wedding. A cost-effective alternative if you don't want to maintain them is to hire fake flowers.

Q. What is your best advice for brides? 

Visit the New Covent Garden Flower Market for a while. It offers a wide variety of flowers, giving couples the chance to view and smell blooms they might not even be aware exist. It also contains ribbon and embellishments like diamantes, feathers, and imitation pearl accents if you want to add a little glitz.
