The right floral arrangements can add a special flare to the décor of your event. Deciding on the right floral arrangements for your big day is one of the main checks off your planning list. The process of choosing the right floral designs can depend on your budget, color scheme or theme, the season, and your unique style.
Budget
A budget can seem very confining when your Pinterest board dreams are bigger than your wallet. However, a set budget can help determine which floral pieces you will want to focus your funds on. You will have bouquets, boutonnieres, center pieces, and other floral accent arrangements that you will need to prioritize. If you have a particular arrangement in mind, but it is out of your price range, you should work with your florist to see if there is a more cost effective flower choice that will still achieve your desired look.
Color Scheme/Theme
Most brides will design their floral arrangements to reflect and add to their overall color scheme or theme. This allows your floral pieces to enhance the overall design of your event. The bridal bouquet is very important because it will be showcased in many, if not all, of the photography. You want to make sure that you choose a design that adds to your desired look. This depends largely on your own individual style. There are so many different types and colors of flowers, so you are sure to find something that fits meets your needs.
Floral Season
Flowers grow in different seasons. This is important to keep in mind when you are picking out your floral designs. Some flowers such as peonies are seasonal and can only be found at certain times of the year, where other flowers like roses are available year-round. Seasonal flowers can sometimes be more expensive because of the high demand during their available season.

Unique Style
Each bride is unique, and their flowers should be too! We have seen some fun, unique trends in floral arrangements, many of which we have showcased at weddings we have helped to design and plan. A popular tend is hanging floral arrangements. I have fallen in love with these amazing designs! You can hang flowers in a variety of different ways, such as: a floral curtain or backdrop, flower-filled jars from the ceiling or trees, cascade flowers down the center of your venue… the list goes on and on! If you are looking for a beautiful but unique style, you should consider a hanging arrangement.
Overall, choosing and designing your floral arrangements should be a process that you have fun with! Find something that is unique to your individual style and theme for your wedding, then work with your florist to make your dream a reality.
