June 14, 2009
Depending on when your wedding is, you might be able to come up with some really fashionable or elegant wedding flower ideas. Christmas weddings are fun to play around with because the flowers are festive and be used in a variety of ways, while Valentine’s weddings are romantic and the flowers are more simple and sophisticated.
Your wedding flowers have to have a theme to go along with, it’s best to decide your theme before deciding on a set flower. If you want to have a theme where your colors work off the atmosphere, then it’s best to look at more festive type of flowers; roses, lilies, babies breathe and ivy. If your theme is going to more original than work with original types of flowers; daises, sunflowers and others like them.
It’s also another great idea when creating your pieces to think about the person who will be holding them, or the location. For your bridesmaids… will there be a bridesmaid or might have a hard time holding a traditional bouquet… could you do something special just for them? Will your flower girl be the antsy type or more reserved and apt to holding a basket, cone or bucket? With the corsages, since they will be worn, will the mothers wearing the them have allergies to your choice of flower? If so, you can let them wear a wrist or handbag corsage.
Then there are the location and placing of your floral arrangements. Will it be moist where your arrangements are, causing the flowers to droop? Or will the air be dry causing the flowers to wilt? Ideas for these types of things, is to plan ahead and before you choose your flowers to be put into an arrangement, know where the arrangements are going to go and what the air quality will most likely be like on the day of the wedding and reception. Taking the extra step of knowing small things like this will ensure your wedding flowers are as bright and beautiful as the day the blossomed. These are just small ideas to keeping your wedding flowers perfect.
