Flowers are a great example of our world’s natural beauty with their vibrant colors, unique shapes and life. They can be found in just about any color of the rainbow, and can be bold and dramatic or even delicate and unassuming. Flowers also act as a great reminder of our love, affection and praise for others for almost any special occasion, so it’s no surprise that they have become an important and memorable part of most weddings and special events. However, finding the right flowers for your wedding can be challenging and involves an understanding of your own tastes, the floral industry and, of course, nature itself! So take note of the following tips for making flowers a memorable part of your upcoming wedding!
Flowers Everywhere. From the ceremony to the reception, flowers can be found in just about every aspect of a wedding in any culture. You might include them on your ceremonial altar, in your bridal bouquet and as your reception table centerpiece. South Asian weddings incorporate flowers everywhere from on or around the mandap (ceremonial altar), in the garlands placed around the necks of the bride and groom, or in the bride’s hair or headpiece. Flower petals are commonly used in weddings as décor for walkways or reception tables and are often part of blessings during South Asian ceremonies. Petals can be a beautiful, yet inexpensive, way to add color and natural beauty to a wedding.Think Taste and Color. Maybe you love red roses because they grew in your mother’s garden for years, or you are fixated on pink tulips because your fiancé gave them to you on your first date. The flowers you pick for your wedding should not only represent your personal tastes but could also symbolize a memorable time in your lives. Pick a color scheme for your wedding and choose flowers that either complement or add great contrast to that color. Make floral centerpieces pop visually with vibrant colors, but keep the colors of your tablecloth and china fairly neutral or vice versa. Consider the look of your wedding venue, the colors of its walls and carpets and even your wedding attire when choosing flowers so that the colors work well together.
Nature 101. There really is a science to picking flowers! Don’t forget that flowers are seasonal and many types of blooms are grown more abundantly during certain times of the year. Orchids, lilies, and peonies are usually grown in the summer, so you will have a harder time using them for a winter wedding. You are also more apt to find delicate flowers like tulips and irises in the spring. You could spend a fortune if you want flowers that are out of season and your florist needs to import them from abroad. Are you planning to have an outdoor wedding when the weather might be hot and humid? Pick flowers, such as calla lilies and roses, that won’t wilt in the extreme heat instead of more delicate flowers like the tulip and lily of the valley. See below for examples of popular flowers for each season of the year:
- Popular year-round flowers: rose, gerbera daisy, lily, chrysanthemum
- Popular Spring flowers: tulip, daffodil, iris, sweet pea
- Popular Summer flowers: orchid, sunflower, hydrangea, peony
- Popular Fall flowers: dahlia, aster, “black-eyed Susan” daisy
- Popular Winter flowers: poinsettia, holly, carnationBudget Basics. Flowers might be beautiful but can be expensive if you don’t keep a few basic rules in mind. Set aside a realistic piece of your budget for flowers and remember that you may need flowers in many aspects of the ceremony and reception. Tell your florist your budget and the vision for your wedding, and he or she should be able to give you options within your price range. The most expensive types of flowers are roses and orchids, while carnations and daisies are cheaper options with equal color. Expect to spend more money on the ceremony flowers and reception floral arrangements that will stand out to your guests, instead of your bridesmaid’s bouquets and groomsmen’s boutonnières in which you might choose a less expensive type of flower. If you are marrying in a garden or park with a large amount of existing flowers, you may not need to spend as much money on floral arrangements due to the natural decor. Avoid holding your wedding on a popular holiday such as Valentines Day, Easter or Mothers Day when florists might raise their prices based on higher demand. Finally, less is more. Large floral centerpieces usually involve a larger amount of labor and can be more expensive. Pick a smaller centerpiece and accent your table with other less expensive items, such as candles, menu cards, china and colorful wedding favors. Remember the attendance at your wedding can also impact your floral budget in a big way. A few less tables of guests at your reception may mean that you can spend extra money on that nicer flower arrangement as your table centerpiece.
