It may be an arduous task for you, if you have to select flowers for special occasions. But, if you use the service of a professional florist, things might become simple.
An expert florist can help you select the right flowers of the best colours and most important, within your budget. For e.g., for flowers for a wedding, the styles, colours and designs of the wedding gown will be a determining factor. The bridal party’s colour palette will help in selecting the colour theme of the wedding like flowers and decorations.
You must choose flowers that complement the colour and style of the wedding gown. Before you choose flowers for different important occasions, remember going in for flowers in season is not the only option. Other criteria of choosing flowers are designs, styles, colours and budgets.
Here are a few tips on how to choose the best flowers for special occasions like weddings:
• Adhering to the colour scheme of the season: The seasonal flowers have great impact on the decor of your wedding. Most people are knowledgeable about colours and styles of flowers in season. For e.g. yellow, pink and red flowers are suited to the spring season wedding.
Here is a guide on best colour schemes and types of flowers.
1) Pink: Flowers of pink colour like carnations, roses, tulips, peonies and lilies are ideal for spring or summer weddings.
2) White: White hued flowers like jasmine, orchids, roses, narcissus and lilies are a great choice for weddings, no matter what the season is.
3) Yellow/orange: Orange or yellow coloured flowers such as freesias, lilies and sunflowers are appropriate for fall/spring weddings.
4) Lavender: It is the best choice for winter weddings. Popular lavender flowers are delphiniums, lilac, anemone, and statice.
5) Red: red coloured flowers are appropriate for weddings in all seasons. Some of the popular red flowers are gerberas, poinsettias, dahlias and roses.
• Your budget:
Choosing wedding flowers is significantly determined by the budget. You must ensure that you buy affordable flowers that fit into your budget. For example, carnations are cheaper than roses and roses are cheaper than orchids. But you can always get the best of both worlds by creating flower arrangements using a mix of cheap and expensive flowers. One of the best ways to stay in the budget is through sticking to seasonal flowers. Another tip is to focus on some large displays rather than on several small sized flowers.
• Considering seasonal flowers:
One of the best ways to decide on flowers for weddings is based on the season. Some flowers like daisies, gerberas, roses and hydrangeas are found the year round but most others have their own seasons. Since flowers are seasonal, their prices also vary according to seasons.
Flowers are usually imported from places like Holland, California, Ecuador and Colombia. This provides you a wide palette as different flowers are found in different regions at various times, a year. So sitting in England, you can get lilies flower delivery in Pakistan for weddings right around the year.
