Search
As said earlier you must think on floral decoration for your big day to get various ideas. This includes searching through bridal magazines and other resources too. Even gardening books can help you in this matter. If you don’t know the many names and types of various flowers, you can simply start with looking at the lovely floral bouquets and other arrangements in these magazines and books and you will start getting an idea about your liking. Try taking a tour to a greenhouse or a botanical garden, where flowers and floral arrangements are displayed. They even provide useful information of flowering and other plants, their significance at various occasions and colors in which they are available. Here what you can see importantly is:
- Every flower has a different meaning and significance. Try to learn about it. This can play an important role in your decision making. It is an age-old tradition to express one’s sentiments through flowers, which is called “language of flowers”. And it is not very difficult to learn. In fact, being a girl you have an innate sense for it, which you can just bring out in this way.
- If you don’t want to get into the significance of flowers and their language, you can always choose some flowers which are legendarily meant for weddings and love, and with them you cannot go wrong. Roses, lily, orchid, calla lily, hydrangea, marigold, peony, lotus and many such flowers are considered pure, pious and just right for occasions like weddings.
Your Budget
It’s your wedding and you are bound to get excited; but calm down and think about the budget. No need to get disappointed if you are on a tight budget. As said earlier, even less flowers can make a big difference. You just have to think cleverly. Better make two lists – one of essential flowers and one your wish-list, so that when you start shopping, you can get exactly what you want. Once you choose your must-have flowers and still have left with some money, you can choose flowers from your wish-list too.
- Be honest about your budget with the florist, so that s/he can help you find the best at low cost.
- Choose expensive flowers only for special elements of your weddings, like your bridal bouquet.
- Choose flowers with strong fragrances and colors that will create an air of more flowers even if they are not too many.
Thus if you start preparing cleverly, creatively and with much time in hand, you can create a memorable floral decoration for your big day.
