DEva Weddings: Pretty Flowers!

Flowers are an essential part of your wedding day. Lush, beautiful, fragrant blooms will add warmth, charm and character to your day. From the coolness of hydrangeas to the sleek, modern look of calla lilies, the classic fragrant rose or the sweetness and romance of spring peonies (one of my favourites!), the options are endless, and you are sure to find the perfect match for your day.

Now, it would be great to grow your own flowers for your wedding, but let’s face it, unless your name rhymes with “Martha Stewart” chances are you don’t have the time or the inhuman gardening expertise to guarantee a flock of bouquets by the big day, so it is best to leave the growing to the experts. However, if you are working with a tight budget, you might want to enlist friends and family to help you with some of the arranging (depending on their flower-skills, of course).

Ideally, you should book your florist at least 3 months in advance, (the more time, the better). Make sure you do your research, and find someone you are comfortable with, ask to see samples of their work, and references. And remember, you don’t necessarily have to spend a lot of money to have this element in your special day. There are flowers out there to suit every taste and budget!
