The
Importance that Flowers play in Your Wedding
Flowers hold a very special place in weddings and events. They add a
certain flavor to the event by choosing
different colors, contrasts, shapes and sizes. They are not necessarily
the first things that are chosen, but definitely
not the last. The colors that the bride has chosen, will be carried out
throughout the wedding, and the flowers always
show that decision, even if you have not seen anything else yet but the
flowers.
Thinking about the flowers, they even begin during the courtship…when
one of the exciting days in a new relationship, the flowers arrive at
“her” job…from the new man in her life. Sometimes the first flowers that
are received are the same floral choice that is used in the wedding as a
memory of their beginning together. Weather it is the color or the same
flower…a woman never forgets these things.
Flowers do have specific definitions on what they mean, and what certain
colors mean, but a bride always remembers the flowers that were sent to
her.
Flowers can be used for many components to a wedding such as sending
flowers to the bride or groom the night before the wedding or a corsage
to be worn at the bridal shower and a balloon bouquet centerpiece. Now
the wedding flowers are more than the bridal bouquet, the boutonnieres,
and the corsages. The bridal bouquet is always an important part, but do
keep in mind that there are flower girl baskets, the decorations of the
facility where the wedding is held, then the decoration where the
reception is being held.
In the chapel, even the alter can be adorned with florals, the pews can
have bows or fresh flowers on the end of each of them. Even the
candelabra that are used for a Unity service can have florals on the
base under the candles. In the ceremony, an arch might be requested, and
that too, can be decorated with fresh or silk florals.
Finally the honeymoon…adorn your honeymoon suite with rose petals strewn
across the room for a romantic flair.
Remember that certain flowers are seasonal, and being in the desert,
sometimes unavailable to us, or at a very high price. We are an 'EVENT
TOWN', therefore sometimes our local providers are sold out. The large
events that come in and order lots of flowers, wipe us out. The free
standing chapels usually carry the basics…red, white and pink roses…
The hotel chapels usually have upper scale flowers such as lilies, other
color roses, gardenias, etc. inclusive of their packages. So keep in
mind “What do you really want” and prepare to order ahead for specialty
flowers and colors.
