Planning a wedding is a huge task and we’re hoping to make it a little easier by having some of our favorite vendors share some information. (We also think they are some of the best in the business.) Be sure to check back every Monday for another installment which will include info about flowers, transportation, venues, entertainment, wedding planning, videography and more!

So how should you get started?

Start by finding your wedding dress as this has a lot to do with the style, color and texture of your bouquet. Many dress designers are using lace and sequin patterns in their dress designs. These patterns usually have some floral in them, so it is nice to pull these out and incorporate them into your bouquet. If you are having alterations done to your dress ask to keep the fabric as your florist can use this to wrap your bouquet.

Hand Tied Or Cascade?

If your dress has a lot of texture, pattern or design.. you may want to think of a hand tied bouquet as a cascade will cover a lot of the pretty patterns on your dress. If your dress is more decorated on the top and more plain sheer on the bottom a cascade could be a better choice or consideration.

Find Inspiration

Start a Pinterest board and collect pictures of flowers and bouquets that you are attracted too. Looking at these images can give your florist a better idea of what colors and textures you are more attracted too.

By mixing the perfect collection of flowers, colors and textures we can create a bouquet that is unique and yours!

It’s about You! Your style! Your taste! Your budget!
