On the big day, you want everything to be just perfect, from the vows and food to the wedding flowers. To ensure success with the latter, the team at Watanabe Floral, Inc., serving Honolulu, HI, for over 72 years, says it’s crucial to follow a few particular steps. Here are their secrets to picking the right blooms to decorate the venue on your wedding day. 

How to Select the Right Wedding Flowers

1. Get Inspired

Before you start making selections, go online or buy some wedding magazines and look at the arrangements other people, brides and professional designers alike, selected for their wedding. This is a fantastic way to figure out what you like and don’t care for; it will also give you a few ideas you might not have thought of.

2. Know your location and Color scheme

Is your ceremony indoors or outdoors?  Morning or Afternoon?  This will have an impact. Some flowers will not do well in heat, especially the fragrant varieties Also, the arrangements you select don’t need to be an exact match to the tablecloths or the bridesmaid’s dresses, but they should be of a similar hue to ensure cohesion and a visually pleasing result that doesn’t clash. If you haven’t decided on a color scheme for the wedding yet, do so before you start picking out flowers. This will also help you narrow down the choices in terms of arrangements.

3. Get a Final Headcount

The number of guests you’ll have at the wedding will affect the flowers you can select in terms of price. If the ceremony and reception will be small and intimate, feel free to develop elaborate arrangements or choose expensive bouquets. If the wedding will be large, you’ll require more centerpieces and will be more restricted.  If a large wedding, allocate your floral budget to a “Wow” piece, rather than trying to spread it out over large number of centerpieces.

4. Work With a Professional

For the best results, always work with an expert florist. Their prior experience helping couples decide on flowers for the big day will be invaluable. They can explain whether the ideas would work, make suggestions for how to enhance the final look, and help you articulate your own vision so you obtain the best results.
