When planning your wedding flowers you must consider them to be
the bride's arrangements, reflecting the spirit of her life's
happiest day. From bouquets to decorations and wedding reception
flowers, many brides are clueless about which one of them to
select.
Flowers should be chosen according to the bride and groom
preferences, color of the bride and bridesmaids' dresses, church
and reception places, and sticking to the decoration theme, if
any.
Another point to consider is the season because most floral
varieties are easily found year-round, but seasonal flowers are
cheaper and easier to find. Fresh flowers are the most viable
option when it comes to planning the wedding day, but a few
brides prefer dried flowers or artificial ones made of silk.
Having an overall perspective of the flowers available
throughout the different seasons of the year may help to save
money on flowers and yet allow you to select the most
appropriate flowers for the big day. Wedding Flowers can be
classified into Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Anytime
categories.
Spring Wedding Flowers to choose from are tulips, violets,
greenery, fern, pansies, peonies, ivy, daffodils, lilacs, lilies
and lily of the valley, dogwoods, irises, forsythia branches,
hyacinth, larkspur, sweet peas, apple or cherry blossoms.
For summer, the seasonal Wedding Flowers are daisies, roses,
dahlias, zinnias, asters, iris, larkspur, Shasta, stock, calla
lilies, delphinium, geraniums, hydrangeas, sunflower, sweet
William, greenery, beech leaves, ferns, meadowsweet, stock,
goldenrod, Jacobs ladder and Queen Anne's Lace.
During the fall, most wedding arrangements include both flowers
and foliage but not necessary. The mix of these elements is
always a decision of the bride who can choose from a single
flower theme to combined floral arrangements with or without
specific foliage any time of the year.
In Autumn, Wedding flowers include asters, dried hydrangeas,
roses, zinnias, statice, marigolds, chrysanthemums and gerbera
daisies while the most commonly used foliage are autumn leaves,
yarrow, rosemary and rosehip.
Wedding Flowers for winter include the classic poinsettias, as
well as orchids, amaryllis, camellias, jasmine and
forget-me-nots in addition to accents of pine, ivy, fem, spruce
and rhododendron leaves, so there is no need for dried or
artificial flowers as many brides still believe.
Apart from the flowers already mentioned, there are some others
available anytime when brides seek fresh flowers, including a
variety of carnations and roses, besides of gardenias, baby's
breath, snapdragons, stephanotis and ivy mainly used in wedding
bouquets.
Wedding flowers are part of your special day, but can take a
large portion of the wedding budget if not planned in advance.
However, their importance should not be underestimated because
they are symbol of joyful celebration, prosperity and fertility
contributing to the atmosphere of love joining the bride and
groom's lives together.
The Internet opened a new and convenient way for people to order
flowers. Summer 2004, Brook and Bruce were getting married.
Brook was in Hertfordshire, UK and Bruce was in Somerset, UK.
Typing in "Hertfordshire flower delivery", and "flor
ists Somerset", they planned their wedding flowers perfectly
online.
