wedding florals come in all shapes, colors and sizes. They are the bases of what brings your vision to life.
So many things factor into your decision when finding the right florals for your big day. Things like season, florist, color scheme and over all budget play huge rolls into your floral design. In this blog we will go over a few tips in helping you find your perfect wedding florals!
florals in season
This might be an obvious one but having your floral expectations match the season in which you are getting married is very important! Make sure your floral inspiration matches the season in which those blooms bloom. The last thing you want is to get humbled by a florist when she tells you it's going to be hard (and expensive) to get gerber daisy's in December. Getting florals in season also saves money since many places will have them available!
Spring: tulips, dasiys, peonies
summer: gardenias, dahlias, hydrangeas
Fall: mums, sunflowers, sage
winter: daffodil, camellia, winter heath
The B word
The word no one wants to thinking about when planning your dream wedding day but something that unfortunately is very important, Budget. When is comes to florals they can take a huge chunk of your budget away from you when you start your wedding planning. WeddingWire saw that most couples spent anywhere between $700-$2,500 on florals and some spends as much as $4,000 or more. According to The Knot's survey, the average cost of wedding flowers in 2021 was $2,300.
Real florals aren't cheap but they give your entire wedding day an elevated look and feel just by having real florals. You are also paying for a specialist to put everything together for you, knowing it will look great! If there is two things I can recommend not skipping out on, it's photography and florals!
If real florals just aren't in the budget, no worries, silk finished florals are a great option as well. I suggest finding a brand you like and sticking to that single brand for all the floral arrangements. This will ensure a more cohesive look to all of your arrangements! Satin ribbon, big bouquets and over the top arrangements will give your silk florals an elevated feels without the elevated cost.
tablescapes; pulling it all together
Your center pieces and tablescape is an amazing way to bring the entire color scheme and overall feel you want to portray on your big day to life! Making them as simple or as extravagant as you want, this is the perfect time to display all of your hard work. Whether that be planning with your florist and designer or arranging the florals yourself.
