Wedding Flowers 101

A Bridal Stem Bouquet and a Toss Bouquet (click to enlarge, See the details!)

Your getting married? Congratulations! Your flowers are an important detail of your wedding day. The fragrance, color and style of your flowers can make your "Special Day" unique and memorable. We know that you have a lot of planning ahead of you in preparing for your wedding. We hope to make selecting your flowers a little easier. Please keep in mind, you can not get bouquets like the ones shown above at a grocery store! These were designed by professional florists using premium flowers and they took skilled hands several hours to create them! For professional designs and quality, always work with a full service professional florist.

More often than not the selection process of your wedding flowers will begin with a discussion of the Bride’s bouquet. You will have a choice of several basic styles. These are cascade, crescent, contemporary, nosegay, hand tied bouquet and arm or presentation style. You can better prepare for your first meeting with your florist if you bring the following;

• A list of those in your wedding party that will need flowers.

• A list of what flowers you will want at the ceremony.

• A list of what flowers will be needed at the reception, including table count, size and shape.

• Color/fabric swatches and pictures of your dress and bridesmaids dresses, if you have them.

• Feel free to also bring pictures of flowers that you like.
