How to choose the right blooms?
It’s never too late to start looking around for ideas and colors. However, it is important to remember that your taste and style may change over time. It’s time for inspiration! Once you have chosen your theme and venue, it’s time to pick the flowers. The best time to pick your flowers is one year and one month in advance. It is possible to do it in a month, but not quite as close as you might think. You may find your tastes change over time. You can browse social media and Pinterest for inspiration.
When should you order your blooms?
We recommend that you wait between 2 and 4 weeks before your event. These are natural products, and some flowers are not readily available. This is why the timeline is shorter. We can source many of our products year-round. However, some items you ordered 3 months ago may not be in season when your wedding arrives. Within 2-4 weeks, we will have the latest inventory. Pricing is another factor. You will pay Valentine’s Day pricing if your event falls in April. As the prices can fluctuate, we recommend waiting until closer to your event.
When should you have your blooms delivered?
These are just a few of the factors you should consider. However, we recommend that you plan your event at least two days in advance. This allows you to prepare, rehydrate and design your flowers in plenty of time before the big day. You may need to allow yourself an additional day if your wedding falls on a holiday weekend. This is also possible if you have long vase lives or items that take a while to open, like sunflowers and peonies. It’s okay to give yourself an extra day if your blooms are properly cared for and stored in cool water.
When should you arrange it?
The day before is the best time to arrange flowers for a wedding. They will last for a long time if they are kept in water. This includes flowers in a vase that is filled with water, floral foam that has been soaked with water, and bouquets that have been wrapped with the stems but not the petals. After they have been arranged, you will want to keep them in a dry and cool place. Make sure they get enough water! This is the most important aspect of flower arrangement. Some items can be done on the day of. However, boutonnieres and corsages can be made the morning before to ensure that they stay hydrated.
