5 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Flowers
1. Let your venue influence your floral designs.
Your floral arrangements should compliment your venue, not clash! For example, if you are having your wedding at a historic or traditional venue, classic style arrangements with white and/or blush flowers would look stunning together. If you are having your wedding at a vineyard or botanical garden, loose arrangements with plenty of greenery will be the perfect compliment to its natural surrounding beauty.
2. Determine the budget.
Let your florist know your budget at the beginning of your consultation, so they can come up with appropriate ideas for your wedding. Your budget will determine what types of flowers you will be able to use for your arrangements. Most couples spend about 10% of their total budget on wedding flowers.

2. Choose a color scheme.
Choosing a color scheme will help your florist figure out what kinds of flowers to use for your wedding. It is important to show, not just tell. When you have your consultation with your florist, make sure to bring inspiration photos and/or color swatches, so that your wedding florist can compliment your color scheme perfectly!

3. Make sure to stick to one theme.
When planning a wedding or event, it is important to stick to one theme for a harmonious look. Don't ask for so many different looks, or you run the risk of your wedding looking random or misguided.

4. Gather inspiration photos.
Once you have chosen a color scheme and a theme, gather inspiration by browsing through photos. I highly recommend using Pinterest. This will help give you a sense of what you like and do not like. If you do not know where to start, I recommend starting with the bridal bouquet. This will be the most prominent accessory on your wedding day, and it will continue to live on in your wedding photos.
