Choosing Your Flowers

Every bride wants their wedding day to be unforgettable.
Each element of the day should reflect the bride’s and groom’s personalities and the love that they share.
Your flowers are an important way to help you achieve this.

Here are some things you may want to consider.

Hand-tied bouquets

These are a good choice for the bride that is looking for simple elegance. They are usually small and neatly tied with a ribbon, lightweight and easy
to carry. It is sometimes recommended for a more petite bride,
so as not to overpower her frame.

Hand-Tied Bouquet
Shower Bouquet Shower & teardrop bouquets

More traditional in design, these can vary from a smaller, more compact teardrop design with a small trail to full and floor-skimming. These are more fragile and slightly heavier but create more impact and drama upon the bride’s entrance! The shower bouquet would balance out well
against a traditional a line dress with a train and veil.

Over the arm bouquets

Usually made up of quite slim, architectural flowers like the Calla lily, these are usually quite simple in design with just a few blooms tied at the stems and held in the crook of the arm. These are fairly lightweight and easy to carry but may not be advisable in a wedding venue that has a narrow aisle, for the comfort of the bride and the guests! The arm bouquet may also be suited to a tall bride, with the long stems reflecting the bride’s stature.

Table Arrangement Guest table arrangements

Another important consideration, table displays can transform your wedding reception venue when used correctly. Low and small arrangements can look out of proportion in a large room, whereas
very tall ones can dominate smaller venues. Another consideration is the container your flowers are displayed in. A tall arrangement in a large and quite wide vase can obscure the view, presenting quite a challenge for guests chatting across the table during your Wedding Breakfast!
The use of very highly perfumed flowers, while lovely in the room
on a hot summer’s day, can affect some guests who are acute
hay fever sufferers, so it may be wise to check beforehand!
