What’s Your Wedding Flower?
Home » Wedding Flowers »
Choosing your wedding flowers is one essential but generally enjoyable experience in wedding preparations. You have to choose flowers that suit your personality as well as your wedding theme and motif. You also need to think about the expense when you select your wedding flowers.
Artificial or fresh?
Choosing wedding flowers can be a choice between artificial flowers versus fresh flowers. Between the two, artificial flowers are more practical because they can be stored well before the wedding ceremony. Artificial flowers do not wilt so you can also keep them as mementos after your wedding day and use them to decorate your rooftop for your first wedding anniversary.
Artificial flowers also offer even more variety than fresh flowers. Because they are manmade, you can order flowers to the exact shade of pink that you want, something that you can’t do inexpensively with fresh flowers. You can also choose the material of your artificial flowers; some very attractive flowers are made of silk. Some artificial flowers are also appropriately scented.
Fresh flowers, however, have their own merit. First of all, they offer the sweetest garden fragrances that no artificial flower can provide. They do not entertain only the sense of sight but also the sense of touch. All around, nature lover couples would usually prefer to have fresh rather than silk flowers.
To help you decide on which flower you wish to use for your wedding day, you can use the price as your main criterion. You can ask around with your wedding planner to find the prices of fresh flowers. Also visit silk flower designers for the same price-finding purpose. In the end, the decision could be as simple as which gets you a better price.
Roses, violets, what flower?
The decision on which particular flower variety to use would actually matter more if you chose fresh flowers over silk flowers.
To make your decision simpler, find out which flowers are going to be in season when your wedding day draws near. You need to reserve these flowers months before the big day so that your florist can have your order ready and filled out in time. Choosing in-season flowers help reduce their price. The fact that you will be ordering in bulk may get you some more discount from your florist.
Among the in-season flowers, find a flower you and your partner like that fits into your wedding color scheme.
