Flowers are a gift from nature and they have played a significant role in weddings for centuries, dating back as far as the ancient Greeks. Hundreds of years ago, bouquets and crowns of herbs and blooms were given to the bride and groom as symbols of love and happiness. Various herbs were used in the arrangements. Garlic was said to ward off evil spirits whilst dill was said to induce lust between the newlyweds and sage was said to promote wisdom and longevity. Posies were given to friends of the bride to give thanks for friendship and support while young girls sprinkled petals before the bride's feet to ensure her a long life of happiness!
To date, flowers are still an integral part of a wedding celebration and are an important way to create the mood and feeling of the day. Whether formal or whimsical, the blooms and colours chosen create the palette. Flowers have an aesthetic beauty that enhances a bride and embellishes the occasion. Flowers are a vital part to the day and your life - not to mention simply gorgeous to have and to hold!
Selecting flowers to carry, to decorate the ceremony, or for reception decor should be a fun and creative process. The blooms should complement and enhance the wedding dress, season and location. A good florist will provide a wealth of knowledge on flower variations, colors and durability for the day. Of any category on the wedding "to-do" list, selecting flowers should be stress-free and an exploration in creativity.
Although personal taste should prevail, encourage your florist to discuss styles and invent new concepts for you. Certain classic wedding design will never go out of fashion - such as an all ivory hand-tied bouquet with stems wrapped in satin ribbon and pearl detail. Other styles and textures are now dated including teardrop bouquets, large bouquets, pink stargazer lilies, and tulle. During your consultation process, ask for visuals in your proposals, detailed bouquet ideas, unusual flower types and corsage and boutonniere details. The variety of flowers currently available year-round is impressive to even the veteran floral designer. Flowers are now grown on a global scale and shipped worldwide to wholesale warehouses where licensed designers shop. Greenhouse production, web ordering and increased shipping speed has improved the variations available across the country. This means there is an increased variety of unique blooms available.
