Almost absolutely, there are no weddings with no flowers. They are like the icing on the wedding cake. Floral arrangements always make any wedding a grander and more romantic occasion. They are great decorative pieces, adding sweetness and elegance to the wedding venue. As for wedding planning, the flowers are one of the chief concerns that you and your coordinator would have to manage agree upon. If your wedding has a motif, your choice of flowers will, of course, have to match and blend well with your chosen theme. If you are not a florist by profession, you should totally need to hire one. Florists are way more experienced than yourself in terms of floral arrangements suited for your wedding.
In choosing your wedding florist, choose someone that can efficiently deliver and set-up the flowers ahead of time from the ceremony and pack-up the arrangements right away when the event is over. Many reception halls have their tried-and-tested florists that they can maybe recommend to you. But of course, it is better if you can find the best one yourself. Before you hire a florist, ask for some references. Hiring a florist with great character and reliability is very important. Most weddings have their own set motif or color scheme. Make sure that your choice of flowers match the theme of the wedding; the bride’s and the entourage’s dresses. Prepare a list of all the flowers and arrangements that you might need. This method will not only save you a lot of time in the preparation, it will also be friendly to your budget.
In discussing the floral arrangements needed for the wedding, a great florist will be able to recommend certain arrangements that are perfect for your chosen wedding venue. Your also would most probably keep a portfolio or photos of previous wedding arrangements that he or she made. This portfolio will also give you an idea on the extent of creativity of your florist and what your wedding would probably look like on the much-awaited day of the event. You can also be the one to suggest to your florist if you have certain floral arrangements that you want done. Most important of all, since it is your wedding, you should feel free to have any flower or color scheme that you’d want to use on that special day. As your florist probably knows, the customer is always right.
