Maximize Your Floral Budget

Flowers bring color, teture and sophiscation to your wedding, however they can really impact the budget.
How can I stretch my floral budget, is the question I hear the most.

Bridal Bouquet  Please don't trim too much on this item, this is your day.You and your flowers will be the center of attention, and in all of the photos, so it needs to stand out. However there are some things you can do to maximize your budget.

• Choose a hand tied bouquet - they are less time consuming and labor intensive
• If your must have flower is very expensive use it sparingly - only in your bouquet  and the grooms boutonniere ,not the bridesmaids
• Use  it again for the head table decor- allowing it to pull double duty

Remember, your flowers accessorize you and add memorable touch to your day.

Wedding Questions

Planning a wedding may be a challenge , but asking wedding related questions might make one feel just plain 
Dumb!    Who needs corsages? Where does the mother of the bride sit? When should we cut the wedding cake?
What is the difference between a rose and a tulip? What is the difference between a hand tied bouquet and
a cascade? What side should the boutonniere be pinned on?

The questions could go on and on and on. We will try to tackle the most difficult questions and provide the
simplest solutions.

What side should the Bride walk down the aisle?
The left side always on the heart side. The Bride's family also sits on the left side and the Groom's family sits
on the right.

Royal Wedding Flowers

I couldn't sleep, some how I naturally woke up (with out the alarm) right on time -5:30a!

 Wow, this was different. I watched as a young girl Diane walk, and walk down the aisle,so I had to watch the Princess Bride take her place in the spot light to assume her new role.

Wedding florist and wedding planners tried to guess at the dress,wedding flowers,and bouquet, however, no one got it right. Hand tied, cascade, teardrop bouquets are the ideas that I heard, but we never guessed

a loose bouquet.The wedding flowers selected we so full of meaning- sweet William( Prince William Duke of Cambridge), lily of the valley (happiness, you've made my life complete), hyacinth (constancy),and

myrtle (a royal tradition since the wedding of Queen Victoria)

Brides can adopt this new trend and use flowers as the language of love to help them express their feelings

and add that element of sentiment to their wedding.
