Wedding Flowers

Deciding on the flowers for your wedding can be overwhelming and tough.  How do you decide on the type of flowers and the colour combination, whilst keeping the look & feel right and within your budget?

Here are a few simple guidelines to help you:

Work with the existing look & feel of the venue

If you have an elegant & naturally beautiful venue, then make the most of it! You can use fewer flowers, so that you preserve its beauty & compliment the environment. 
On the flip side, if your venue is not as attractive, but you are still on a tight budget, then use bold, vibrant, yet simple flowers which will attract the eye.

Simple Is Elegant

If you are working to a tight budget, then focussing on simplicity can certainly help, without compromising on the overall look & feel.  There are beautiful flowers available that don't have to cost the earth - talk to your florist about the options.

Consider the Season

Another way to work to a budget is to consider the flowers that are going to be in season at the time of your wedding. They tend to be easier to find & therefore a lot less in price! For example:

Spring: Tulips, violets, pansies, peonies, ivy, daffodils, lilies, dogwoods, irises, hyacinth, sweet peas, fern, forsythis branches, apple or cherry blossums

Summer: Roses, daisies, dahlias, iris, larkspur, calla lilies,sweet william, sunflowers, hydrangeas, delphinium, geraniums, beach leaves, ferns, meadowsweet

Autumn: Marigolds, chrysanthemums, asters, roses, zinnias, gerbera daisies, autumn leaves, yarrow, rosemary and rosehip

Winter: Poinsettias, orchids, amaryllis, camellias, jasmine, forget-me-nots, complimented with pine, ivy, fern, spruce, rhododendron leaves
