Colors, Shapes & Textures

Choosing the right flowers and florist for your wedding

Flowers play a big role in weddings and events. They should always be a reflection of the couples style and taste.

When selecting your flowers you should work with the colors you selected for the rest of the event. Think of your event as decorating a room. You need to coordinate your colors. However you can add punches of color for accent (and fun). I suggest getting a color wheel. It will help you in selecting colors and picking ones that compliment each other, especially accent colors.

We are all attracted to different colors and textures. Try to think of your flowers as colors , shapes and textures. Notice flowers that you like and decide what it is that attracts you to them. The earlier in the process you do this the easier it will be to select not only your flowers but your dresses , suits, etc.

When choosing a florist it’s a good idea to visit with a few as you will get different ideas from each one. When you have met with a few and are ready to make a decision choose the florist that you felt most comfortable with and ask them to work with you on any budget issues. Many people make the mistake of going with the lowest priced florist. Most florist are more than willing to work with you on price.

Feel free to contact me if you need advice or have questions.

Congratulations on your engagement!
