Wedding Flowers

Choosing your wedding flowers can be a difficult choice. It seems as if the whole day consists of flowers and it is. You need flowers for your bridesmaids, ceremony, reception, yourself, and the list could go on. The best advice to begin with is to choose your color(s). Many people use darker colors for fall weddings and the lighter colors for spring/summer weddings, however, that has changed. I've seen a variation of colors at all times of the year. Keep in mind some flowers may be seasonal and harder to get at certain times of the year.

Once you have chosen your colors, give yourself a budget. I called around to see who had the best deal on flowers and then when I found the place I came in with a list. I said I wanted certain flowers for the flower girls, told her what I wanted my bouquet to consist of, and so on. She gave me an estimate that was over my budget so I asked her what we can cut back on. She was great and worked with me. Don't get discouraged when you see the estimate. Sit down with your florist and tell them what you're looking to spend. They will be happy to work with you!
