FIVE THINGS
TO CONSIDER
WHEN
CHOOSING
WEDDING
FLOWERS
Choosing your wedding flowers may seem simple at first
but, much like wedding planning in general, things can get
stressful and out of hand fast. Just like the rest of wedding
planning in general, remember to keep your priorities in
order. If you keep the following five things in mind when
planning your flowers, the rest should fall more easily into
place.
BUDGET
Flowers can get expensive quickly, so make sure to establish a
budget with your florist right off the bat. Your budget will be the
biggest influence not just on how many arrangements you will
have, but also the types of flowers you can afford to put in them.
Keep in mind that certain flowers are only available during
certain seasons, and can be quite pricey at any other time.
Additionally, there are some flowers that just are expensive by
nature - such as flowers that must be imported.
You should also consider the number of arrangements you’ll
need. Remember to consider who will be receiving and/or
carrying flowers, as well as floral arrangements for both the
ceremony and the reception. These can be numerous and
include things like altar flowers, aisle arrangements, sweetheart
or head table decorations, and centerpieces. Get a guest count
to your florist so you can work out a good number together.
