Flower power Choosing the flowers for your wedding can be difficult, but with our help, hopefully you can carry your bridal bouquet with pride on your wedding day! Here are some important things to think about when choosing your wedding flowers.
PRETTY IN PASTEL
Season
Opting for flowers in season makes perfect sense. You get your flowers at their peak and they are also grown as nature intended. Choosing seasonal also helps your wedding budget, so bear that in mind. Sweet Peas are a Spring bride’s flower of choice, while Amaryllis are a stunning Winter flower that stands out with its deep red shading.
MELLOW YELLOW
Scent
You may think this is obvious, but when thinking about your wedding flowers, brides don’t think about how theirs will smell. However, the first thing you do when you get your bridal bouquet is smell it. For nervous brides, try adding sprigs of lavender for a pop of relaxing purple. Or if you have a favourite floral scent and it’s in season, add it to your bouquet. That way, whenever you buy your favourite flowers, the scent will instantly bring you back to your wedding day.
Contrast
Bridal and Bridesmaid bouquets that contrast are aesthetically pleasing on the eye, and look great in your wedding photos. If your bridesmaids have burgundy flowers, opt for a light ivory shade to stand out.
