Your wedding day arrives and you only think about one thing: that everything is perfect, including the flower decoration and your bridal bouquet. We wish the same at Socal Wedding Florist and that is why in this post we will give you our best tips to make your wedding day right with the choice of flowers and make it an unforgettable day.
8 tips to choose the perfect bouquet for your wedding.
1- Keep an open attitude when choosing flowers
There is nothing more discouraging for a florist than having to tell a bride who is very excited that she wants yellow peonies for her wedding in August, which is not possible because it is not in season. There are many types and varieties of flowers that are available throughout the year such as roses, carnations, calla lilies or orchids, but nevertheless there are others, such as peonies, that are only available at a certain time of year. Therefore, it is necessary to have an open mind to be surprised by the ideas that your florist can offer you according to the time of year that it is and according to the seasonal flower of that moment.
2- The same happens with color
The colors of the flowers are not always exact to how we see them in the photos in which we are inspired when choosing one flower or another for the floral decoration of the big day. It is important that you trust your florist to help you capture the nuances of the different color varieties of the different flowers with which you want to decorate your wedding.
3- Make your bridal bouquet a priority
The bridal bouquet that you will wear on your wedding day is something you should not skimp on. It is the only floral design that will be with you at all times and that will be immortalized for posterity in your wedding photos. It is also one of the most important accessories that accompany a bride and must be up to the task on a day in which she is the protagonist.
4- Opt for a single shade
Depending on your budget, you can opt for a decorative option in various shades or monochromatic. If you want the flowers to have a great impact, we recommend monochrome options as they give a more organized and striking visual sensation, compared to more varied options in which there are different colors in smaller quantities.
5- Reuse your flowers
One way to get the most out of your wedding floral decorations is to give the flowers a double function. Choose a floral design for the ceremony and reception that can later be used, for example, to decorate the tables. Small bouquets arranged in small vases, easy-to-carry floral garlands … or anything you can imagine!
6- Know your budget
For the meetings with your florist to be more effective, it is very important to know how much you can spend on the floral decoration and the bridal bouquet. In the same way that you would never go to buy a car without knowing how much you want to spend on it, it is the same with flowers. Depending on the spending margin you have, your florist will find what best suits your tastes and needs more quickly.
7- Breaking with traditions
This point interests you especially if what you have in mind for your wedding day is something that moves away from a more traditional style. It is important that the floral decoration is in tune with the wedding concept you want. That is why we advise you that if your wedding is going to be a different wedding, do not bet, for example, on roses or lilies, typical of the most classic wedding floral decoration.
8- Simplify the bouquets of the bridesmaids
If at your wedding you choose for the bridesmaids to also wear a bouquet, you should bear in mind that they should be simpler and simpler than the bridal one. At the end of the day, you are the protagonist and, as we have mentioned in previous points, your bridal bouquet must be almost an extension of you.
