Wedding flowers
Don't put off choosing the right florist or decorator for the last moment - flowers for a wedding are quite an important element of preparation. The moment when we should be interested in this issue is six months to two months before the planned wedding date. An additional argument for deciding on a given florist earlier is the possibility of obtaining attractive prices and discounts as well as greater understanding of the subject. Very often it is possible to provide flowers by wedding hall in cooperation with a friendly florist or a company that decorates the room. Then the cost lies with the wedding hall, which usually adds it to the general bill.
Our wedding expert, Joanna Hoc-Kopiej, advises on this matter: "In particular, we should pay attention to the wedding specialization of the florist and wide range of servicessuch as: bouquets and wedding bouquets, boutonnieres for the Groom, floral decorations for the table, for the church and flowers for the car. Let's check whether it is possible to meet individually and choose a "tailor-made" floral setting. It's worth considering an option online florists – thanks to this, we can get more attractive prices and a wider selection. However, we should remember to consider only proven places with positive opinions from other users,” emphasizes Joanna Hoc-Kopiej.
Flowers for a wedding - florist or decorator?
What is the difference between the services of a florist and the services of a professional decorator? A florist is a person who creates unique flower arrangements. Therefore, it will provide a beautiful wedding bouquet, boutonniere bouquets, a flower setting for a car, bouquets for wedding tables, and even bouquets for thanking parents. Everything that the florist will create should be picked up from the florist and placed completely independently. Unless we agree otherwise with the florist, which usually involves an additional fee.
On the other hand, a decorator is a person who will take care of the comprehensive setting of the wedding and reception, both in terms of flowers and other decorations. The decorator will take care not only of the bouquets, but also decoration of the wedding hall, church, Bride and Groom's house, car and all places where all traditional rituals will take place that day. The decorator obtains flowers for the composition from the wholesaler. So the bride and groom do not have to worry not only about delivering flowers. He gives the decorator their location and setting of the surroundings - tables or walls behind the Bride and Groom. However, you have to pay much more for such a comprehensive service than a florist.
Depending on our needs, we can choose the color and type of flowers or rely on the professional opinion of a florist. We choose the bride's bouquet according to the type of beauty, height, hairstyle, hair color and dress. If we want an experienced florist to choose a wedding bouquet for us, she should take these aspects into account. The same applies to the wedding hall, car, etc. Let's make sure that the chosen florist works professionals. Poorly matched colors will make our bouquet invisible or will not look good, and the whole concept of the floral setting will be in vain. At the same time, we should take into account one more very important issue related to flowers, namely the preferences of the bride and the groom. Perhaps they have a particular type of flower that is especially close to their heart. Then it should be taken into account by the florist when composing bouquets.
Let's not forget about seasonality. In different months, the same flowers can be much more expensive. All arrangements with the florist should be made in writing. The time of preparation of the wedding hall, the scope of activities must be included in the contract.
Flowers for a wedding - how to save?
Flowers for a wedding are an expensive affair - sometimes we have to pay even 2.5 thousand for bouquets. zlotys, and in the case of exotic species, such as Phalaenopsis, this amount increases with each shoot.
If the issue of wedding bouquets is beyond our financial capabilities, it is worth paying attention to alternatives that can save our budget. When we know perfectly well that we can't afford the selected type of flowers, we can use some decorating tricks, namely, bet on green accessories. Long palm trees or large monstera leaves are an absolute hit of recent years, therefore many young couples choose these plants for their bouquets. In many showy but frugal bouquets, these plants predominate other species, and flowers are included in a limited number. In addition, we can also use large hydrangeas - you need little of them, and the inflorescence itself is exceptionally large and very impressive. Already 3 hydrangeas woven into a bouquet of leaves replace many smaller flowers of eustoma, peony or rose.
When the ceremony is organized, for example, in autumn, it will be a great idea to use potted flowers, such as heathers, for decoration. This is a real fashion that entered the wedding industry on the occasion of organizing rustic weddings. This plant fits perfectly with raw wood and the glow of live candles. So it will be perfect for this type of decoration. With heathers, flowers for a wedding cease to be a big expense, because the cost of one, very dense and impressive pot is about PLN 7 in a flower wholesaler.
Finally, an important note: let's not be guided only by temporary fashion and taste for a given type of flowers. Let us remember that the most important thing is that the flowers are aesthetic, they fit us and blended in beautifully with the surroundings! If we take these factors into account, the flower arrangements we choose will be a beautiful complement to the wedding, the entire wedding ceremony and the outfit the young couple will be wearing that day.
