Selecting Your Wedding Flowers

As with any wedding, flowers help to make the occasion, whether it’s part of the scene or where the flower girl is dropping them in the aisle. However, knowing what flowers to use for your wedding may not be the easiest thing to know. The information below will look into what you should consider before deciding upon what flowers to use in your wedding.

You should be deciding with your florist what flowers will work best at your wedding.
You should give them as much information as possible to help you come upon your best choice. Describe what the overall theme of your wedding will be. Additionally, describe the outfits you are to wear and provide pictures of the design if possible. If you are going to have flowers on your wedding outfit, make sure that these flowers will last for a while, as well as not be oozing liquid onto your clothes.
You should also take into consideration whether the flowers you have in mind are currently in season or not. Obviously, if they are in season, it will cost less to obtain them than if they are not (provided you can even get them to begin with).
Also, take into consideration your guests. Do any of them suffer from allergies? If so, having the wrong type of flower as your main floral design is going to cause misery for him/her/them, so try to pick a flower that won’t cause anyone to have a horrible experience at your wedding.
You should consider whether you plan on having the same flowers for your wedding party or if you will have different flowers. Again, you should consider the aforementioned factors of whether they are in season or if anyone is allergic to them before having your wedding party wear them. Of course, those flowers should go well with your flowers when you assemble together at your wedding.
The bouquets should accentuate the wedding couple not detract from them. Thus, they are usually smaller than the main bouquet and can be a variation or contrast. The bouquets can also be used as flower arrangements at the reception, especially at the cake tables.
Family members’ lapel pins will usually complement the wedding flowers. To really have the family stand out and be recognized, you could have a slight variation that identifies the family members from the other guests.
Keep in mind that table arrangements don’t always need to have the wedding flowers present. Instead, you could use cheaper options, including ivy. Done in a decorative way, ivy can look just as spectacular for your table centrepieces. Or you could just sprinkle rose petals around the table settings.
As you can see, there are many decisions to make when it comes to your wedding flowers. You have to determine what is in season when your wedding takes place, if there are any attendees who are allergic to specific flowers, and what flowers go well with the dresses.
By carefully considering the information above and working with your florist, you’ll find the perfect flowers to go well with your wedding theme and not break the bank in the process.

How To Plan YOUR Dream Wedding

Planning a wedding and keeping your sanity is not an easy task. Everyone knows that planning a wedding can be an extremely stressful and trying time, especially as the big day approaches.

One of the most important details of the wedding is the actual wedding date. This is usually the detail that is taken care of first. Factors in choosing a date include the availability of the venue where the wedding will take place and availability of friends and family on the assigned date.

It is also advisable to set a budget before you start to make plans. This way you're able to organize the details according to your budget.

Some venues where weddings are held offer discounts on days when traditionally, weddings are not held. Also, the time the wedding takes place also becomes a factor in the expense. For example, mornings and afternoon receptions are usually cheaper than receptions held in the evening.

Venues can offer discounts depending on the time of year. Just after the holidays could be a good time to hold a wedding if you are considering the cost. This time is not considered a 'peak time', therefore the price tends to be less expensive.

It is important to talk to your fiancée about the size of your wedding. Your dream wedding might not be your fiancées. So it ís necessary for you to discuss details such as the location of the venue/reception, the number of people who get invited to the wedding/reception, and the choice of entertainment.

It is important to reach an agreement on the guest list. If you want to keep the wedding an intimate affair, only family and/or friends would be invited. If you wanted to have the wedding of the century, friends and family, long lost relatives, the whole neighbourhood and high school buddies could be invited. When making the guest list, consider the space capacity of your chosen venue.

It ís a good idea to hire a professional to capture this momentous occasion. Sure, your friends can take good pictures and some of them may own a camcorder. But for this special occasion, you would want something special, lasting, and visually presentable. This way you could also share them with your friends and family.

Don't forget the cake! It's a good idea to have a tasting first, before settling on a cake. Invite your family and friends for the cake tasting. This way, this task becomes fun for everyone!

Order wedding invitations. If you want to get creative, you can always print your own. This way, you can customize them, and add a more personal touch to the invitation.

Don't forget to start looking for a wedding gown months before the wedding so the bride has plenty of time to make a selection. Also, you should make arrangements to rent or buy a tuxedo or suit preferably in advance in case there is trouble with the fitting.

Couples who don't have enough time on their hands or just find the preparations that go into planning a wedding too overwhelming can always just hire a wedding planner. This way, everything gets organized and coordinated for them. But if you decide to go the wedding planner route, don't forget to add this cost into your budget.

Bouquet Activities

When a couple orders the wedding bouquet, it might not seem that any “activities” will come from it other than as a thing to hold but the bouquet can be the source of many interesting activities and meaningful gestures.
During there ceremony there are all kinds of possibilities. You cold go traditional and have a flower for both the mothers .The moms, in particular, love this activity and guests usually appreciate it as well. What if you turned that traditional gesture on its head and supplied flowers for both the mothers and the fathers? If the couple supplies flowers to both the men and women, there are a couple of ways to do this. What if dad’s flower was enclosed in a verse that he will then get up and read at the ceremony? What if it was a flower to recognize the members of the family who have passed, and it gives dad an opportunity to recognize those family members?

If the couple chooses not to have a unity candle, but wants some gesture like it, they can have a bouquet designed by having several small bouquets put together. At an appropriate time during the ceremony, the wedding bouquet is “broken up” and various people might receive a share, such as the mothers and fathers of the couple.

Now, if the couple wants to hang onto the wedding bouquet during the wedding ceremony, but is willing to have some fun with it at the reception, there are a few options there as well. How about a dance involving the wedding bouquet? This is silly, but fun. The wedding bouquet is on display somewhere near the dance floor and guests must guess a flower that’s in the bouquet before they can enter the dance floor. The first few guests might not have a problem as some flowers are obvious, like roses and tulips, but others might give people pause. Of course, this won’t work if the bridal bouquet is all roses or some other single and obvious flower but for a traditional mixed bouquet, it can work well.For a naughty touch, the couple can hide a garter in the wedding bouquet and actually put it on before it gets taken off. Or there can have a couple of breakaway bouquets that are wrapped in garter belts, so the main one doesn’t get thrown, but instead the tiny bouquets with garter belts attached are thrown.
When it comes time to throw her bouquet, there are several options. Some couples choose not to keep their bouquet and simply pluck one flower out of it before chucking the whole thing during the bouquet toss. This is an alternative to having a special bouquet set aside for throwing, and there are others as well.Are there are a lot of single women coming to the wedding? Maybe one thrown bouquet won’t be enough. Many couples these days are opting for something a little more fun.There are a few options, really. One popular option is to have the florist create several small bouquets and then bundle them to look like one bouquet. They are tied lightly with a ribbon. When it comes time for the bouquet toss, untie the ribbon, and throw the “bouquet” which is actually several little bouquets. Several people will catch the bouquet, rather than just one.
