Everybody has their own idea of how their wedding has to be, not one person will want every detail the same as another. It is important to know exactly what you want when choosing your wedding flowers as they are a major part of your day. You must also remember to decide a venue before flowers as they must go together.

If you are opting for a summer wedding you have many choices of flowers,A few tips and ideas for your wedding day Articles including lots of pink and cream flowers. There are the usual suspects of roses and gerbera but these are available all year round. What you want to do is get something that picks up the moment. A traditional summer season flower is peonies, as well as Nerines, stocks and phlox which come in a variety or colours, and some can often be candy striped.  For an elegant and custom look try having your bouquet hand tied and simply having the stems left loose or covered with ribbon or voile.

You could even go so far as it have your wedding remote and exotic, meaning guests will have to travel miles which will also keep the numbers down, but those that do come will come because they want to, not just for a free lunch. Yet again if you are having a local wedding you must remember things like how are you going to transport the flowers to the venue or if there is more than one, venues. Top idea: if you are the bride perhaps ask someone else to do this, such as the mother of the bride – as ensuring each bridesmaid brings hers is going to stress you out a little. Ensure that you have enough time to make the arrangements either on the day or the night before, perhaps get someone in to help– it’s amazing how long it will take to make one or two wedding arrangements. Again, practices before the day to make sure you don’t make mistakes and run out of materials or decide create a new flower design which may end up horribly wrong, stick to what you know.

 

Another good tip on your wedding day is limit the number of people you invite to the main ceremony you can keep control of the budget, you won’t have to feed the 500 or so guests or people you have known in the past or get as many wedding flowers. If we are going for fewer flowers, the good news is that you can get flowers that are exclusive and glamorous.

More so than ever couples are opting to have an intimate wedding with close family and friends, and then have a big party afterwards, splitting up the pressures of the big day and spending as much time as possible celebrating. It used to be that only celebrities did this but now more and more are going with the small wedding large party option. This makes the wedding not only personal to loved ones only but it does cut costs as well.
