Choosing Your Flowers

When choosing your wedding flowers it is best to choose a color, or colors, and a style instead of a particular flower. While most flowers are available throughout the year, they can get pricey and lack quality when they are out of season.

If instead you choose a color or style, for example a wispy, wildflower look or a full, massed look, there will always be flowers in season to fit the bill.

Do not feel intimidated if you are unfamiliar with flowers and their names. That is the job of the floral designer. It is helpful if you can bring pictures (clippings from a magazine are fine) and a fabric swatch of the bridesmaids dresses to your floral consultation. This will help to give your designer a good idea of what you like, and it is also a good reference for them to refer to when creating the designs.  All you have to know are the colors and style you would like your wedding to have, and we will help you create a look that is perfect for your special day!
