What's your top tip for choosing wedding flowers?

WHAT'S YOUR TOP TIP?

Whilst I specialise in preserving bouquets after the wedding, I am usually contacted by the bride or her family after the wedding flowers have been chosen.

Brides-to-be can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the huge selection of flowers available to them, when deciding what to choose for their wedding flowers.

Whilst some will choose a particular flower for sentimental reasons, others may only have an idea of a colour scheme but then find themselves presented with a wide variety of flowers in that colour.

Where does a bride-to-be start if she is unsure?

MY TOP TIPS: Visit a good florists, they specialise in sourcing and providing flowers especially for weddings and can help a client make an informed decision. If they haven't got certain flowers in stock but they think a client might like it, they usually have a portfolio or catalogue on hand to show what the flower looks like. Even better...brides to be could take cuttings from a magazine to show the florist some of the ideas they have. The florist can then help the Bride- to- be bring her ideas for her wedding flowers together.
