Wedding Flowers

Your choice of the right wedding flowers can really enhance your very special day. For many people flowers are one of the most important elements of the wedding day. They add class, colour, fragrance, and life to the nuptials. After the bride's dress and the menu, the wedding flowers are one of the aspects of the day that guest will remember most. The flowers that you choose will be seen decades after the actual wedding day - every time someone looks at the photos and videos of the event. The choice of flowers are important as they enhance image of the bride and her bridesmaids, the church, and the tables at the reception.

• Make appointments with, at least, two florists to discuss your wedding day floral wishes

• Try to meet the florists in their flower shop, if they have one. Check around to see if the flowers are fresh and is the shop neat and clean

• Check out the florists' photographic wedding portfolio

• Bring samples of the material to be used in the bridesmaids dresses for colour-matching

• Make certain that you are dealing with the person that will actually prepare your wedding day flowers. This helps to avoid the possibility that wishes may get lost in translation

• If you are not comfortable with, or have any reservations about, the responsiveness of the florist to your wishes then walk away

• Make sure that any price that is quoted is all-inclusive and that there are no hidden charges

• Try to avoid booking your wedding for dates that clash with the likes of Valentine's Day or Mother's Day if possible. The price of flowers increase on such occasions
