Flowers
Flowers play an important part of wedding celebrations and tie
together themes, create the wow factor, and add atmosphere.
Style, colour, scent and symbolism are all important factors
and you should consider your choices very carefully. Weddings
do have certain
Customs and Superstitions when it comes to flowers and if
you are the superstitious kind you may want to see our section
on this before making your choices!
Floral and plant displays at the ceremony and reception make
great decorations and add a touch of class to the day. Floral
decorations can also give that extra special look to your reception
tables, and can be given to female guests as gifts at the end
of the day.
 The
most important flowers are of course your bridal bouquet, and
this then dictates the style of all the other flowers. When considering
the flowers for the Bridal bouquet you should choose something
that will compliment the theme of the wedding and the style of
your wedding dress. If you have chosen a full gown then a trailing
bouquet will add extravagance, whilst a slim line dress combined
with an elegant bouquet will add that simply classic look. Bridesmaids
should have a scaled down version of the same type of flowers.
Headdresses, button holes, corsages, and floral decorations for
the ceremony and reception venues, should all be linked in some
way to blooms and colours of bridal bouquet.
It is your choice whether to choose flowers that are modern,
creative and inspirational or ideas that are more traditional.
Whichever you prefer it is a good idea to listen to the advice
of professional florists and ask to see their portfolio which
should contain up to date designs for wedding flowers. This way
you know that your flowers will not look dated and will be exactly
what you want.
Weddings-With-Style Tips:
Why not think about having your wedding flowers dried and made
into a decoration for your home. Many places specialise in bouquet
preservation, and this way you have a special memento from your
big day that you can look at everyday. Finishing touches for bouquets
now include adding diamantes to the centres of roses and delicate
glitter sprayed onto the flowers. Don't forget flowers for the
outside and inside of your chosen venue or church.
