TIE THE KNOT WITH BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS
Flowers are synonymous with weddings.The first known use of flowers in weddings was in Ancient Greece where crowns of plants and flowers were put on the bride's head, and since then, the two have gone hand-in-hand.
The bridal bouquet also had its origins in ancient times, when it was believed that a bride should carry a bunch of aromatic herbs and garlic to fend off bad spirits.Sage was another herb that was often used in bridal bunches as it was said to bring wisdom to the wedding group.In Victorian times, flowers had different meanings and brides wore posies which were carefully arranged to carry a secret message for the groom.
Also in Victorian England, a young girl would sprinkle petals ahead of the bridal party as they walked down the path to the church, which is where the name 'flower girl' originated. This was to ensure they had a life filled with flowers and happiness.
In modern times, wedding celebrations can range from the sublime to the ridiculous. From simple bunches to the most elaborate arrangements, wedding flowers are only limited by imagination and of course, budget. While you may have a good idea of what you want for your wedding, it’s best to consult a professional florist who will offer advice based on years of experience.
Many brides set their hearts on a certain type of flower to suit their theme.Availability is however, an important thing to consider.Flowers are like fruit - they are seasonal products - yet some people don't think about this when planning their weddings.Selecting in-season flowers make sense.... and cents.
Look for a professional florist who will be able to offer advice based on experience, as to what are the best flowers to use to create your desired look. Your wedding won’t be a disaster just because tulips won’t be in season !With so many varieties and colours to choose from, plus all the accessories like containers, ribbon and fabric so florists can create any look you want.
A florist can also advise on what types of flowers are best suited to the occasion. For example, gardenias look beautiful and smell gorgeous.Yet they bruise and go brown very easily, and consequently won't look beautiful in a bouquet for very long.The same goes for the delicate Stephanotis flowers.Regardless of carefully the stephanotis flowers are handled, they will wilt within a few hours and turn brown, so they aren't actually a good choice for bridal bouquets.
Perth florist, Sarah Ennis is adamant that the foundation for beautiful wedding flowers is a good relationship between florist and bride. “A good florist will advise on quality, durability and pricing of wedding flowers as well as the most appropriate blooms to complement the colour scheme and theme.”
Orchids are a perenially popular choice for weddings, as are roses, tulips, calla lilies, gypsophila and daffodils. “However,” she says, “a February wedding with lots of roses can be an expensive choice as the price of roses increases significantly around Valentine’s Day, and the quality can be inconsistent.”
As a Perth florist, she has some good ideas on what flowers are best suited for a bride's bouquet. It's recommended that the florist see a picture of the wedding dress as well as a piece of the fabric in order to choose the best types of flowers and colours.For example, she suggests a trailing bouquet or tied bunch of long stems for a full-length gown and a more compact posy or single bloom to complement a knee-length skirt.A bouquet that draws attention to the centre of the body should be avoided by fuller-figured women, whilst a long, trailing bouquet will make a bride appear to be thinner and taller.
Wedding flowers are often one of the focal points of the celebration.And whether it's an intimate casual celebration, or a traditional white wedding, expert advice from your Perth florist will make sure it's the perfect day.
