Flowers will play an important role in making your wedding day an event to remember. You will visit more than one bridal salon and certainly try on more than one style of dress while looking for your wedding gown. Selecting your florist and flowers deserves the same attention.
When choosing a florist, look for a wedding specialist. Your florist should insist on a picture (or description) of your gown, your attendants’ dresses, as well as a fabric swatch of your colour theme. The florist, having seen the picture or sketches of the gowns, hould be able to recommend a suitable size and shape of bouquet that will not interfere with the detailing of the gowns. Remember; a bouquet should enhance the gowns, not overpower them.

If a florist “pushes” a particular style on you, ask yourself if that florist really has your best interests in mind. All too often, such bouquets are common, easily duplicated, and highly profitable for the vendor. At this point, you may wish to consider another florist. The florist who seems to best understand your wishes and with whom you feel the most comfortable, should be the one to win your business.
Also, be aware of the “invisible flower syndrome”; traditionally the bride’s bouquet was composed of white flowers. Unfortunately, a bride carrying a white bouquet and wearing a white gown has paid for an invisible floral accessory. This becomes particularly apparent in wedding photographs. To avoid this, add coloured flowers and/or assorted greens to create a contrast.

Just married- their way!
Brides are readjusting their expections, but not their total budget. This is the message that I keep reading on articles on the world-wide web. In spite of the economic downturn, couples are taking a hard look at the things that they want and the “frills” and deciding on the style of their special day.
If the reception is the important hot button for them, they will reduce the guest list, but not the menu. There is a refusal to compromise on what the feel is important. So bring on the bruschetta bar, the appetizers and a beautiful meal, and hold on other items, sometimes viewed as superfluous.
Some couple are so focused on a particular item, that they will forgo the favours, the fancy invitations and the bridal cake for an outdoor tented affair or a vineyard wedding. Conformity is out and individual style is definitely in.
What makes today’s weddings uniquely different is that they don’t follow the traditional template of their parents’ wedding day of year’s gone by.
Almost anything goes and each wedding is personalized with the bride and groom’s fingerprint.
You’ll find martini and sushi bars, ice cream and expresso carts, caricature artists and more at today’s celebrationsl.
Big weddings, intimate weddings, beach weddings and yacht weddings; whatever venue is chosen,speaks loudly to the couple and their lifestyle, and it’s adding flair and fun to a wedding invitation.
Bridal season is just around the corner, and with it, an adventure in the extraordinary, as couples continue the tradition and do it their unique way!
Until later,
