4 Easy Steps To Planning Your Wedding Florals

I truly believe that the flowers are the heart of your celebration and have a unique power to completely transform the venue. They can make your special day extra stunning and memorable. On top of it, many brides think the flowers are the most fun part of the wedding planning. So let’s get started!

1. Timeless? Trendy? Or both?

Knowing your wedding style is a start in the right direction. Close your eyes and imagine the perfect look to your wedding. Will it be formal or casual? Neutral or bold colours? Traditional or modern? Find photos of bouquets and centerpieces you like to find out your style.

2. Will I like this colour palette a year from now?

Choosing your wedding colours can be difficult, but it’s an important step when creating a cohesive wedding aesthetic. Firstly, choose a base colour. It should be a colour you genuinely love. It can be anything from soft pink or peach to elegant navy blue, warm burnt orange to dramatic jade green, depending on the overall feel you want to create. Once you decide on your base colour, choose 2-3 complementary colours as the accent colours. They can be anything from neutral tones like black, white, grey or cream, to bold, contrasting hues on the opposite side of the colour wheel. These colours will add dimension and variation to your wedding. If you still not sure where to begin, bring your bridesmaid dress fabric sample when you meet with your florist and get some professional advises.

3. How much should I spend on flowers?

You’ve probably heard the average spend on wedding flowers is about 10% of your total wedding budget. However, the cost will vary widely depending on your style and needs. If you love flowers and fancy a grand installation then expect the number to go up. On the other hand, if you only need the essentials like bouquets, buttonholes and table arrangements and don’t need delivery and professional setup at the venue, also happen to have a friend or family who has a big enough car, then contact us for more details.

4. DIY or hire a professional?

Short answer is if you can afford one, hire a professional. Or at least have someone who can DIY for you. You should be relaxed and enjoying your time before the big day. Believe me, you wouldn’t want to deal with the last minute flower emergencies while you could sit back and sip champagne.

There you have it. I really hope you find it helpful.
