Wedding Flowers

Most brides already have a favourite type and/or colour of flower that they would like to have for their wedding day. Depending on the season that your wedding falls within, some flowers are not available all year round. For this reason, you will need to have other choices ready. If you are unsure about what flowers will be in season, your local florist will be able to help. The flowers you finally settle on can have a huge impact on the theme and mood of your wedding, so take some extra time to shop around to make sure you get exactly what you want.

Choosing Your Florist

As with all other services, the easiest way to choose your florist is to ask friends or family for a recommendation. Failing that, the Yellow Pages or the Internet will provide you with florists that may specialise in weddings or some florists in your area. Flowers, and their prices, can vary from florist to florist so for peace of mind, speak to as many florists as you can (minimum three or four). Before authorising any flowers to be ordered or arranged, get written quotes on what the total cost will be.
