A florist is a vendor that should be prioritized in your wedding planning. They will use their expertise and eye for design to bring your wedding day to life with beautiful florals. While florals take up a large part of the wedding budget, they also dress up the venue and bridal party in the most natural way.
THE ESSENTIALS
When planning the florals, there are many traditional areas where flowers are included throughout the day. Your bridal bouquet will be the most important floral of the day. This will be photographed so make sure it’s picture worthy! There are amazing ways to preserve these special flowers. consider getting them pressed, hanging them upside down to dry, putting them in resin, or having them professionally painted. The boutonnieres for the special guys in your life will mimic your bouquet, tying in the most important flower. Florals are also beautiful decor for the ceremony aisle and backdrop. They make for beautiful pictures. One main space that florals are used in the reception space is as centerpieces. Tall centerpieces are a nice contract with low circle tables. They add height to the room, especially as many reception spaces already have very high ceilings. Florals can also be used in a petal toss exit, bar decor, incorporated throughout your cake, in your bridal hair, in bouquets for your bridesmaids, and around any signage. Florals are always guaranteed to elevate the space.
THINK ABOUT THIS
Florals add color, texture, and elegance to your wedding day. But how can you use florals in a unique way? One beautiful way to use florals is trough hanging centerpieces. Large centerpiece can break up a table along with the conversation. Try suspended florals, venue allowing, for a whimsical design and unique take on centerpieces. It is no doubt that fresh florals can add up quickly. Consider repurposing florals used on the ceremony arch as decor at or around the sweetheart table. An arrangement on an arch will look different than draped across a table. Do you want to breakout of the traditional round bouquet? Consider a horizontal bouquet that cascades out. Greenery and draping ribbons looks beautiful and cohesive with this design.
