How To Plan The Flowers For Your Wedding
Gregg Hall
The flowers to be used for decorating your wedding are very
important and many people wait until the last minute to begin
planning. Don’t make this mistake; preparation is one of the most
crucial aspects of the entire process. Decide on a florist ahead
of time as they can get booked up especially in the busy Spring
and early Summer wedding seasons. When it comes to the day of
your wedding be sure to allow plenty of time to set up the
arrangements.
Although you want to plan ahead of time you do not want to have
the flower arrangements set up too far ahead of the wedding
ceremony. Even if you have friends and relatives who are taking
care of the flowers for you do not set them up too early. It is
best to have the arrangements done at most a few hours prior to
the ceremony. Even setting them up the night before can result in
wilting flowers and can ruin the look of your wedding.
If you have chosen to use lilies like the popular Stargazers be
aware that their pollen can stain badly. Don’t be afraid of using
them because they are very beautiful and have a pleasant
fragrance, just snip off the pollen bearing parts of the plant
before having them set up.
If you are using a florist to set up your wedding flower
arrangements be sure that they aren’t rushed and overbooked.
Unless they have a huge staff they should not have more than one
or two weddings booked for a particular day. I prefer getting
friends and family involved, personally.
Again, if you are using a florist make sure that you have a
detailed contract that outlines the details of what you have
agreed to and discussed including pricing, timing, types of
flowers and anything else that you deem to be important. You must
be specific about colors, sizes, numbers, etc. Do not just leave
it up to the florist, they will do the least they can get by with
if you don’t spell it out ahead of time and get it in writing.
If you plan ahead and shop around you can be sure that your
special day will be enhanced by the flower arrangements and the
people you use to set them up for you, if you don’t it could make
your special day turn into a big headache. It is smart to have
someone help you; don’t try to take on all the planning by
yourself.
