The first step in choosing a florist is to make an appointment to discuss ideas and to look at the florist’s work. The experienced florist usually has limitless ideas and should be able to work within any couple’s budget.
A first consultation with a florist will often last one to two hours, so it is important to call ahead for an appointment and to allow plenty of time.
Since the style of the gown and formality of the wedding will play an important role in choosing coordinating
flowers and designs, many florists ask for
fabric swatches and photographs of the bridal gown and bridesmaids’ dresses.
Come with open minds, for the florist will surely have a bountiful bouquet of fresh ideas guaranteed to make any wedding unique.

“With this ring, I thee wed.” Solemnization of Matrimony
Your wedding ceremony is a public declaration of a very significant and private decision of your life. Your guests are not only the audience, but also participants who are there to wish you well.
Traditional ceremonies take place at the couple’s place of worship, chapels or synagogues. It will require many meetings with your clergy/officiant will be required to discuss the details of the ceremony, along with the importance of your commitment. Marriage workshops can be attended prior to your wedding day.
If your upcoming marriage is non-traditional, it can take place at many venues such as a winery, historic mansion, railway station, restaurant- the choices are limitless. If you are hosting an outdoor affair, your planning will require a little more work. You will need to determine capacity, an inclement weather plan, etc.
Your ceremony is a drama filled with emotion and life-changing events. You set the stage with florals and costume the cast. You are the writer and director of this production. Although certain rituals in the ceremony are common, your wedding will be unique and a one-of-a-kind. It will be yours!!

Add some panache and style to the day with fun and fanciful flowers!
The wedding sleeper of 2017 is sure to be the boutonniere or button-hole; which is a French term for a flower or small bunch of flowers. Most men will wear a flower on the lapel of their suit coat or tuxedo jacket only a handful of times in their life, typically at a prom, or a wedding celebration. It is historically worn on the left lapel and, is always attached above a man’s heart. It should be worn in the lapel’s button-hole, a 1 to 1.5 inch opening.
Often not thought about, or ordered until the last possible minute, this fashion accessory has become a fun addition to your wedding flower order. Its distinctive, pint sized and “just- picked look” make them a delightful detail to focus on, this upcoming season. They definitely aren’t the single carnation or rose, from your mama’s wedding. with that little bit of baby’s breath or greenery.
They are simple, but elegant; adding a bit of panache to the occasion and they are comprised of small clusters of flowers that may mimic the bridal bouquet, with added and interesting elements of industrial material being used by florists, such as wire, rope, metal or ribbon.
They are becoming a sought-after and interesting detail for the gentlemen in the wedding party and a fanciful accessory. Put on your thinking cap and design something that both the groom and the groomsmen will be delighted to sport on their lapels.
