Wedding Flowers, When it Comes to Choosing Your Floral Arrangement a Rose is Never Just a Rose

Just thinking about choosing wedding flowers—bridal bouquets, floral arrangements, and floral decorations—for your ceremony is enough to make you dizzy.

There’s such a wide variety to choose from these days that it can be overwhelming. Before you start hyperventilating, read these quick tips for help in choosing your wedding flowers.

Think about the first flowers your fiancé gave you. Those flowers probably have more meaning for you than any other kind. That would make them perfect for your wedding.

Other flowers that have special meaning for the two of you would be great choices too. You can mix and match, or select one flower to use as a theme. This approach makes choosing your wedding flowers easier than you ever thought possible.

If traditions mean a lot to you, how about using the same wedding flowers as your mother did at her wedding? A brief poem or note in your wedding program explaining the special meaning behind the wedding flowers you’re using would be a classy touch. For something totally unique, you could use, as long as they don’t clash in color and/or fragrance, a combination of the flowers your mother had at her wedding and the one’s his mother had at hers. Now that would make for two happy moms, and that’s always a good thing!

Another idea is to choose a flower that’s mentioned in a song you’re having played at your ceremony and use it as the central theme for your flowers. Maybe the two of you have a special song that pertains to or has a reference. This would make it a great choice as a theme also.

Here are some other things to consider that can make selecting your bridal arrangements simple:

• Colors
• Fragrances
• Shapes
• Seasons
• Symbolic meanings

Use these tips and at least one thing about planning your marriage ceremony will be a lot easier!
