Choosing the right flowers for your wedding

The high points of a year are high days and holidays and what better high day than a summer wedding? It gives people the opportunity to emerge in their finery from the virtual hibernation of winter into the promising summer sunshine. Florists can ply their trade and provide flower delivery for the best that summer can offer.

One of the important parts of organising a wedding is deciding on the theme, which will help to co-ordinate all the aspects of the day from the way the tables are decorated for the reception to the floral arrangements and the bouquets carried by the bride herself. Many florists today are experienced in helping brides to select the right flowers for the day and ensuring that the flower delivery on the day is faultless.

Summer is the time when the stronger bold colours can be used to good effect and will not be over-powering as they might be at any other time. There are many flowers only available in the summer and sourcing them locally ensures that florists have the freshest flowers to use for the bouquets and arrangements which in turn ensures that any fragrance they have is not lost and that they last longer.

Roses have always been a favourite for summer weddings as they tend to flower in abundance during the summer months and many had a distinctive perfume. However, there are many other flowers to choose from, any one of the many good florists will be able to help with selecting the right one for the occasion.

Long stemmed calla lilies can look stunning when carried as a small bunch backed by greenery to offset them. Lilies in general have become more popular over the years. Baby's breath, which symbolises innocence, can add a touch of delicacy to bouquets of roses, or any floral arrangement. Florists can help with which flowers look best together.

Gerbera come in a variety of colours and sizes so there are bound to be a colour to fit in with the selected theme. They offer a cheerful simplicity to proceedings and their daisy like appearance is typical of summer, as was seen in a well-known TV soap recently, where they were used to decorate the church. Imagine how they would look used for the bridal bouquets.

Fuchsia pink has been the foremost colour in fashion for some time now and the citrus colours are tipped for summer this year. Using any of these colours for a wedding this summer would be fashion forward and inspiring. Imagine yellow or orange flowers in bouquets or a combination of both, these colours would be cheerful and uplifting for the bridal party and guests alike. If blue is the colour of choice consider asking florists about bouquets of blue Hydrangeas one of the few plants in this colour.

Florists will help select the best style for the bridal bouquets so that they compliment the bridal gown and those of the bridesmaids perfectly. Co-ordinating buttonholes for the groom and grooms men will add to the polished finish of the overall picture and add a touch of elegance to the day. Having a flower delivery on the day of the wedding with the unique choice of flower and design selected by the bride ensures that the day is as perfect as it should be.
