Wedding Flowers - Warm Or Pastel Shades
No matter what type of wedding you are planning, whether it is
going to be a big fancy formal affair or a simple informal one,
it will almost certainly involve flowers. When you combine the
beauty and fragrance of flowers with natural light, candles and
soft, tinted electric lighting, the effect can be breath taking.
To set a romantic scene for the wedding match the ribbons,
flowers and lights in warm or pastel shades to complement or
match your color scheme.
If you are going to need a lot of flowers give your florist
plenty of notice so that he can free up time to get your order
ready .How do you decide the amount of flowers that you will
need? Make yet another list. Who needs flowers? The Bride, Maid
of Honor, Bridesmaid, Flower Girl, mothers of the bride and
groom, boutonnieres for the Groom, ushers, Fathers of the bride
and Groom, grandparents of both the bride and groom. That¡¯s a
lot of flowers, but wait there are more> You will want flowers
for the church, and for the tables at the reception.
When you visit the florist for the first time bring pictures of
your dress, the bridesmaids dresses, and the dresses both
mothers will be wearing. Also bring the grooms tux if it is any
other color but black or white, so that the colors of flowers
and ribbons wont clash with anyone¡¯s clothes. A good florist
will help you choose the perfect flowers to go with your styles
and colors.
You may want to ask him to make you a small additional bouquet
to throw, so you can have your bouquet preserved. Bring pictures
of bouquets and arrangements, from magazines that you like so
that he
can understand your preferences and style. You will save
money if you stick with seasonal flowers because it can cost a
lot of money and time if the florist has to special order your
flowers. There will also be an extra charge for shipping.
Sometimes, when a parent, sibling or grandparent of either the
bride or groom, has passed away within the past year, the couple
will stop at the cemetery on the way to the reception and place
a single flower on the grave. Do this only if it will not be too
stressful for you or your new husband. If a member of the
immediate family is in a local hospital, brides and grooms often
stop there on the way to the reception to let the patient know
they are loved and missed.
Before ordering flowers for the ceremony, check with the church
and see if there are size restrictions. Flowers for the
reception should complement or match the flowers you and the
bridesmaids will be carrying. What do you do with all of the
beautiful arrangements on the tables, after the wedding. Some
couples have a drawings for each table, to decide who gets to
take the arrangements home. Others donate them to a nursing
home., or women¡¯s shelter to share their happiness, in a small
way, with others. Did you know that in ancient times brides
carried fresh flowers to mask the smell of people who didn¡¯t
bathe on a regular basis.
