So, where to begin? First things first, hire a florist or floral designer. It is recommended to book 9-12 months in advance. Bahara with Plants N’ Petals<\/a> says, “Hire the perfect floral designer and let them hear from you what your general likes and dislikes are and your overall vision.” After all, they are the experts and can guide you through the process. Sara with Beyond Bloems<\/a> suggests using Pinterest to figure out what flowers you like. “While exact arrangements from Pinterest may not always be feasible, they serve as a starting point for your florist to understand your preferences. Discuss elements such as the ambiance you desire, the color scheme, the level of formality, and any specific details you envision.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider Seasonality<\/span><\/h4>\n

Once you have a better idea of your wedding aesthetic, the next thing that may come into play is whether the flowers you love are in season. To ensure you are getting the most bountiful blooms, choose a flower that will be in season during your wedding date. For example, one of the most beloved wedding flowers is the peony, which typically is in abundance during the spring. <\/span>However, florists <\/span>are seeing<\/span> a solution for couples <\/span>who may want<\/span> a specific flower during an off-season.<\/span> Rene with Lush Flowers<\/a> says, “However, greenhouses <\/span>are now allowing<\/span> people with a more open budget to receive almost any type of flower if the wedding is booked far enough in advance.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bouquet vs. Decor Flowers<\/span><\/h4>\n

Another question you may <\/span>be asking<\/span> yourself is, do I use the same flowers in my bouquet and <\/span>my<\/span> wedding decor?<\/span> The answer is up to you and your florist. Bahara with Plants N’ Petals says, “Shorter stem and more dainty flowers are better suited for bridal stems. For example, ranunculus, sweet peas, and hellebore would be perfect for bridal bouquets, but their shorter stems may not be feasible for oversized tall arrangements.” For a bride seeking a unique bouquet, the world is her oyster. Sara with Beyond Bloems adds, “Larger flowers may not be ideal for bouquets, but a bride seeking a specific style, such as a singular floral or art deco bouquet, may opt for them.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Another trendy element to weddings is creating a theme, whether <\/span>it be<\/span> coastal<\/span> or garden party, and flowers play a significant role in bringing a theme to life.<\/span><\/p>\n
