The wedding flower arrangements used in a wedding ceremony – from the ones that will decorate the event to the bride’s bouquet to the arrangements that will adorn the reception – will be one of the factors that will set the tone of the wedding. Of course, the budget, personal taste, and lifestyle of the couple also sets the mood, and all of these things will also affect the flowers that will be used.
Wedding flower arrangements depends on several factors:
- Budget – How much can you afford for the decorations, esp. the flowers?
- Type of ceremony – Informal? Formal? Outdoors? Indoors?
- Place of Reception – Intricate displays work best on indoor, formal events while basket arrangements are great for outdoor, informal affairs.
- Color of entourage’s dresses – The bouquets would match the color of the bridesmaid’s dresses.
- Reception linen colors – The flower centerpieces should match the decorum of the whole place.
- Season – Many flowers are seasonal; holly berries are only available during the winter season while peonies are only in season for a weeks during the month of May. If you have a favorite flower and you intend to use that flower, make sure your wedding will take place during the right time of the year.
Find and meet up with a reliable wedding florist who has all the right knowledge in weddings, and who understands the style and mood you want to be conveyed during the ceremony up to the reception proper. Decide first on the items mentioned above before finding a florist so that you will have a concrete and complete explanation of the things you want to see.
Here are some samples of various bouquet flower arrangements for a wedding:
Jewel – toned tulip bouquets are very reminiscent of spring and new promises – the things marriages are built of! Available from April up to the summer months in the USA, they are gorgeous by themselves, without other greenery or other flowers.
Round bouquets can vary – from very petite sizes to large circles. The heads of the flowers should be straight in the center, gradually tilting their heads outwards as the bouquet outwards.
Cascading bouquet styles elicit an old – fashioned romance most brides dream to experience during their wedding. The flowers often used for this type of arrangement of bridal bouquets are sweet peas and lysimachias mixed with a few white mums and ivies.
