For better or for worse, it is the bride’s preference that matters when it comes to flower arrangements. There are no hard and fast rules in choosing the perfect wedding bouquet, floral ensemble in the church or wedding venue, table centerpieces at the reception, and other flower arrangements for weddings. Of course, tips and recommendations from professional florists help a lot in creating a magnificent flower design for the wedding, especially if you are at a loss for ideas. But then again, the decision as to how the flowers will look like on the wedding day lies on the bride and sometimes, the groom.
Are you having a hard time picking the best floral arrangements for your wedding? These tips should give you a clear idea:
1. Match the bouquet with the bridal gown.
Bouquets with a circular design go well with full and elaborate gowns. Slim-designed bouquets complement gowns with slim fitting. If the gown is asymmetrical, a crescent bouquet in asymmetrical design goes well with it. Other bouquet designs for gowns with contemporary designs include teardrop, cascade, and freeform bouquets.
2. Pay attention to the other flowers that will be used for the wedding ceremony.
Flower arrangements for weddings should focus not only on the bridal bouquet. The other flower arrangements in the wedding venue matter as well. You have to plan the floral arrangements on the pedestal and pew-end of the church or wedding venue. Equally important is the flower choice for the flower girls and bridesmaids. The other members of the entourage such as the father of the bride and groomsmen need to be adorned with corsages and other flower accents. Take all of them into consideration as you plan the flower arrangements for your wedding.
3. Consider the suitable floral arrangement to use for the table centerpieces at the reception.
Decide the right size, shape, color, and type of flowers to be used for the table centerpieces. Take into account not only the appearance, but also the functionality of the floral arrangements. You don’t want the flowers to cause inconvenience to your wedding guests and even the waiters. For example, the flowers must be of the right height so that the guests can still see each other and have a conversation from across the table. Also, make sure that the flower arrangements are of the right width to allow for ample space on the table for the tableware and food.
4. Consider adding floral accents.
Examine the various areas in your wedding reception venue to see which ones will need extra floral accents. For instance, you may need additional flowers for the chairs of the bride and groom, wedding cake, and champagne flutes.
Your chosen florist or company that does flower arrangements for weddings will give you more advice on making sure that your flower choice will look great in every element of your wedding day.
