Flowers are very important accessories you will add to your attire on your wedding day. The choice of flower and bouquet style is a reflection of your personality and should be decided on with a qualified florist.

A carefully selected blend can invoke the perfect ambiance for your romantic event. The rush of fragrant flowers upon entering the wedding venue is in itself intoxicating, but first things first. Finding a florist that can meet all of your wedding needs and budget will be a fulfilling quest but before starting your journey, you should know what the color schematics will be for the wedding.

What to do first…
Decide on colors.
What color do you want your bridesmaids' dresses to be? What accent color will accompany you choices?

Purchase a couple of bridal magazines and begin the tear out process of gathering pictures of different colors, shapes and arrangements that you like. Put them in you're wedding planner or in a folder labeled FLOWERS.

Decide on how much of the wedding budget will be allocated for flowers. Keep in mind the wide variety of accessory and décor possibilities (i.e. bouquets, headpieces, altar arrangements, and garlands just to name a few). Begin interviewing florists 4-5 months before the wedding. Compare estimated prices and creativity before you make you final decision.

Note: When you go to the florist, be sure to bring the pictures you've collected of the flowers and styles you like, a picture of your dress and possible swatches of the bridesmaid's gown.
