We get a lot of inquiries about wedding flowers. So here is my best advice: Wherever you are in the world, find a professional florist to help you. Trust me, it is worth every penny they charge, to have someone taking care of you on the day of your ceremony. This means someone who specializes in designing flowers-- not the grocery store, not an online place that only ships cut flowers. The advantage to this is, it's one less thing for the bride to take care of on the wedding day, AND, if you have done your homework, the flowers will look great without any work from you. When deciding which florist to choose, first of all, look at their made up arrangements or their website-- are they YOUR style? Does the florist have access to the type of flowers you want? (how to choose wedding flowers will follow in a later post). Then, is the florist familiar with the venue, or willing to take a look at the venue. Most professional florists are knowledgeable, and willing to share practical tips with you-- after all, their reputation is on the line. Remember, what happens at your wedding will be memorialized in the photos, and while guests and relatives may not remember EXACTLY what drunk uncle Chuck said, the flowers are right there in the middle of the photos for all time. Choosing your florist thoughtfully will make your day a whole lot easier.
