Choosing your wedding flower is an integral part of your wedding planning process. It can be an arduous task, especially if you are not so familiar with flowers.
That’s why we’ve come up with easy steps for you to choose your wedding flowers, which are:
Create your wedding flower budget: The first thing you should ask yourself is “how much am I willing to spend on flowers?” Your budget should include the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, corsages and any other flower you would like for your ceremony. This will help you decide on the type of flowers you choose.
Hire a Florist: Except you are familiar with flowers and confident about your floral choices, it’s advised that you hire a professional florist who can help you with choosing the best wedding flowers.
Source for inspiration: Do you have a preferred flower colour? What type of flowers are attractive to you? You should source for inspiration as much as you can, either from Pinterest, a magazine, a recent wedding you attended or anywhere online.
Before seeing your florist, it’s your job to source inspiration that will help your florist understand what you are looking for.
Understand flower seasons: Each season offers a variety of flowers that are particularly suitable for that season and it’s essential you choose from flowers that are in season. Out-of-season flowers can be hard to get, which can make them pricey and rack up your flower budget.
Understanding the different flower seasons will give you options to choose from without necessarily spending beyond your budget and help you get more durable flowers.
Be colour conscious: Your wedding flowers should complement, replicate or match your wedding colour scheme. You should use your wedding colour palette when choosing your flowers as it helps you know what colours to consider.
Get familiar with the basics: You don’t want to be clueless about flowers nor do you have to be an expert. It’s worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the basics of wedding flowers before consulting a florist. This would save you time and give you an idea of what to expect,
Consider your wedding theme: Your wedding theme can help narrow down your wedding flower options. Your flowers should complement and unify the aesthetics of your wedding. This prevents you from being overwhelmed or confused about what to choose.
With these steps, choosing flowers for your wedding doesn’t have to be difficult, as there are no right or wrong. It all depends on your personal choice.
Also, you can trust Flowers and Flowers to work with you in choosing the perfect flowers for your wedding.
