Wedding Flower Bouquets
The key to making your own wedding flower bouquet are the three P. First you have to Plan. Then you must Prepare. Finally, Practice makes Perfect. If you are the kind of person who looks at floral arrangements and say “I can do that” then you are up to the challenge of making your own wedding flowers.
You have to remember thought that the bridal bouquets and beautiful arrangements you see most of the time are the pictures from the bridal magazines and the bouquets in bridal shops. Chances are these were made by professional floral designers who have years of experience in floral basics.
If you’re really up to the challenge, make this endeavor fun and not frustrating, awesome and not awful. Plan each detail, get everything that you need all together and just keep on practicing.
Use these following tips in order for you to make your wedding flower bouquet arrangement a memorable experience.
1. Get tons of ideas. Flip through magazines and books. Drop by floral shops. Take pictures of the floral arrangements you see whenever you are out in public.
2. One of the best places where you can get inspiration are 5-star hotels. If you’re free on a Saturday, that’s the best day you can go because there are weddings set up and are about to take place there.
3. The more ideas that you have in your head, the more inspirations you have which you can incorporate into your own wedding.
4. Now that you have tons of idea in your head, go through it by not being clattered. Put all of it in place and in a single perspective. Jot it down on a notebook because it is such a waste if you lose an idea just because you are not organized. Put the flower pictures in an envelope. When you’re ready to decide which arrangement you prefer, then throw the photos you won’t need anymore.
5. Decide on a color. Let’s say red is your favorite color and you want to use this on your wedding day but the carpet you have decided on is so hideous that it will just clash with the color scheme. Another situation is the dresses of your bridesmaids don’t match the motif of the entire wedding. To avoid these scenarios, you must choose the color scheme by doing the following:
a. Set a flower budget. Flowers is a crucial element in a wedding. Sure, there are costs when it comes to the dress, the music, the gifts and the receptions, but you must not be cheap when it comes to budgeting the expenses for the flowers. The flowers serve as the setting for the whole tone of the wedding.
b. Different flowers can provide you with the colors you prefer. From roses to carnations, orchids to iris, their colors can complement the motif you are in your head. It all depends on the flowers that you choose and can afford.
6. Get help. Flowers are perishable, therefore they must be prepared, arranged and fixed when the wedding is a minute away. If you have tons of flowers, you will also be needing a lot of help.
Gather the materials you need in one box so it is easy for you to access. Make sure that you have sets of supplies which can make you and your helpers work faster and smoothly. Get clippers, floral tape, floral moss, rose strippers and ribbons. Soon enough, you are good to go.
